Bears at Cleveland or Broncos at home versus the Chargers.

My other WR is Calvin Johnson and my league has no flex so I can't have both.

Jeffery seems to have done better this season with McCown throwing to him and Cutler is back this Sunday with the start. SD has been bad the past several weeks so I'm leaning toward Decker. Thoughts?

Do I take the chance with Vereen? Richardson has sucked hugely.

Gronk is back this week. Should I start him against the Jets or Thomas against the Colts? Why?

Stress levels in the average American today are higher than they have ever been. More people than ever are prescribed anxiety medications. The biggest cause of stress comes from an unstable environment. Today's unstable environment is the economy. Unemployment is high - the number of people in the workforce is at its lowest participation rate in many years and unemployment is at high levels. Translation: there are more people out of work than ever in the history of our country. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are at a high, our country's GDP growth rate is stagnant. 11,000 new people sign up for food stamps EVERY DAY. Taxes have gone up for the middle class (and President Obama wants to raise them further). Food costs more. Gas costs more. Looming in the distance, our national debt burden stalks us every day.

On top of all these sources of stress, we have an administration that is abusing the public for the sake of growing and centralizing its political power. The President's administration is deliberately making the sequester cuts (keep in mind, these "cuts" are a mere 2.4% of the entire federal budget) hurt everyday Americans like you and me. Closing the White House to public tours, enacting FAA furloughs at ONLY 6 of the largest airports in the country, laying off active duty military, etc. There are nearly infinite ways these cuts could have gone into effect, but the administration has purposefully chosen to hurt Americans with them.

In my mind, the deliberate addition of stress to American lives is not only intentional by President Obama - it is strategic. President Obama is someone who has, time and time again, proven himself to be manifestly obsessed with tearing apart the traditional, free-market America we have prospered in and transforming it to a socialist nanny state. His desire to make these revolutionary changes requires citizens to be unhappy, stressed and discontent. I believe President Obama is participating in community organization for his benefit at the largest scale possible and I do not believe it is something freedom-loving Americans should stand by and watch. He is turning those less fortunate into robotic drones spouting his agenda and making anyone against it into the enemy. It needs to stop. What can we do?

If I were, say, a construction contractor, and I have a contract through the US government, my payments are being made, effectively, with tax dollars. When I go to file a tax return, is this income taxable since it is paid with tax money? If so, does that mean the US government effectively gets a ~30% discount on all of its contracts?
