The government also owns the streets and highways, and manages the airports. It is fine for these agencies to be operated by the government, local government is far better than federal government.Health costs are 1/6th of the US economy. This is ok. It gives people work, and gives us the finest health care system in the world. To socialize that, which operates just fine thank you, is a major plunge into socialism and into debt. Obama prints money like it is going out of style, and if he continues, it WILL go out of style, and no other country or investor will touch our debt. At that point the concept "Too Big to Fail" will be blown to hell and back. Just ask the Wiemar Republic what happens to jerks who print money. WE are a people, and WE decide what sorts of infrastructure we want. Right now a pic of Bway at 96th St is on my desktop. There are streets, there are sidewalks, there is public housing, there are buses, and of course the subway. The things that are outside my front door are in my front yard. AND MY FRONT YARD EXTENDS BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND THE PACIFIC OCEANS. I have no objection to paying taxes to maintain these infrastructures. I have no objection to helping those people who need assistance, whatever that assistance may be. BUT I OBJECT to the Socialists taking over the whole country, to taking over banks, auto companies, insurance companies, the health care system. They also have their eyes on destroying the energy sector too under the guise of Green Lies! ROAR |
