Not really, most companies do this nowadays.

Not really, especially considering if that is one of the things you look
for. I can find 20-30 positions in Ann Arbor right now that have health
benefits with the job. But, that is really not the point of this whole
can of worms. I think most of the people from Britain, based on their
posts, think America needs a socialized, government run health care
plan. I disagree, I think there are market based plans that would work
much better (Newt Gingrich had an excellent plan).

No, I do not want to go down this road again. Let's just say the economy
has benefited, and it is a much better environment for everything.

Yes, from benefits to LEGO's to food, etc. Money is a decent way of
representing items for goods and services.

Hey, I resemble that Compartmentalized Dork in a cube! Actually, that is
my whole life, or at least my LEGO collection is in many different
compartments:)
