I didn't hear about the expense scandal for the MP's, what happened? Lately I've been limiting my amount of political news (hence the late reply); I just can't handle it anymore. I get too worked up & find myself yelling endlessly at my tv in anger, all the while feeling impotent to do anything about the idiocy touted as wisdom, trickle up poverty portrayed as 'fairness', and paternalistic policies more far reaching than any 'big brother government' as sound logic.
I can't wait for universal healthcare to ruin our world class medical industry. We have people LEAVING *socialized* healthcare states to COME to the United States for health care; precisely because they've been put on a wait list under their system...waiting to die. And all the while our system is being portrayed as some third-world, pathetic care system---yet the VAST majority of American's have health care. There's only 'x' amount of Dr.'s to go around, you can't flood the industry w/an additional 'y' amount of patients and expect everyone to have good coverage. You can't just print up more money (all the while devaluing the dollar which is sure to cause hyper-inflation) or sell of more T-bills to China on this one Obamma. But wait, I forgot, we're officially in the age of entitlement. You are no longer born w/the right to the PURSUIT of happiness, but happiness itself. Your born w/the right to a free college education, the right to have dr.'s who have spent their own blood, sweat, and tears acquiring their wisdom at your service, your born w/the right to own a home....just attach a carte blanche platitude at the end of it and everyone's singing your song---'yes we can'.
THE ONLY PROBLEM W/SOCIALISM IS EVENTUALLY YOU RUN OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE'S MONEY...
