[Vision2020] [Spam 5.41] A Thought to Ponder

[Kai Eiselein]

Look, we all know something needs to be done. But what?
My own personal reservation is the fact that the federal government has a dismal record running programs. 
Sure it might be funded for a while, but then Joe Blowhard (D/R nameyourstate) will get greedy and "borrow" funds for a pet project back home. When that happens every other liar inside the beltway will attempt to do the same.

Highly centralized government programs do not work. Where was the oversight before the banking collapse, why is Amtrak a joke, anybody been to New Orleans lately?
Time and time and time again, the federal government has proven it's inability to do much of anything very well. Hell, the IRS can't even collect all of the taxs people owe.

  Roger,

  I can't help but think that your objection to generalizations would be more meaningful and effective if you didn't chase it with one of your own.

  > I was objecting to the last part, namely that the rich and powerful are arrogant and want to keep people from having adequate health care. Why is it that those of you on the left must impinge peoples motives. You seem to think that if people do not hold your view that they are heartless bastards. People of good will have different views. There are plenty of thing wrong with the present system. It is arguable that the current bills will solve the problems. In my view some of things that need to be done are tort reform, make insurance portable, and let people buy insurance where ever they want. These are just a few.
  > In regard to Ralph's question. The shoe should be on the other foot. Please give valid evidence that Hoggart's statement is accurate, not just accusations because you disagree with those that do not want a government run program.
