I think there is a good chance of it failing too. But we will see. In a sense it is already here. I hope you do tell me I told you so.
Originally posted by generalissimoThe richest country in the world? What about the biggest debt in the world which is $11 trillion and climbing? Ther is more debt than currency it prints. Does anyone have that kind of debt? In fact, the numbers just don't add up as to how this universal haalth care will be paid for. Does anyone care about that or is it enough to say it is a right so we should all have it regardless of the consequences?
what is right according to you?
do you think its right for millions of people to be without any healthcare coverage, in the richest country in the world?

Originally posted by generalissimoSo suppose the government adopt universal coverage and private health care disappears? What choice will you then have if you don't care for your universal coverage, for whatever reason? What happens if cap and trade passes and the government steps in and increases your energy costs up to 50%? Will it not cause you to heat and cool your home less whether you want to or not? In fact, you may need to donw size in order to afford heathing and cooling your home whether it is your desire to do so or not. Of course, Big Brother would just love it if you down sized but you many not. And the list goes on and on. The more power society gives to its government to solve their problems the less power society has to resolve their own problems. Then when the government comes up with a solution you best like it.
what tyranny are we talking about? could you be more specific?
how exactly is the government "taking away" your freedoms?
Originally posted by generalissimoI know that the conservative message may sound crazy in a world in which they print and throw money at all our problems. In addition, conservative positions that uphold moral beliefs seem equally bizzare I'm sure, especially in a world devoid of such convictions. You may want to cleanse your palate by turning on CNN.
in that case, just stop believing whatever whodey tells you.
he's crazy you know.
