We can't dismiss the facts out-of-hand simply because the source may be biased. In this case many of the outcomes are correct, but the reasoning is wrong. The article attributes the delta to Reaganomics - that's obviously absurd. Correlation does not equal causation and it would be impossible to conduct a study that accounted for all variables. Further Reagan's debt took 2 decades to fix and had it not been for events during Mr. Clinton's presidency, those debts may still not be paid off. (Using the same reasoning as the article we could say that it took Clintonomics to fix the fallout from Reaganomics.) That being said, Canada has flirted with socialism and it's my opinion that that never works because gov't has never created wealth - they are a cost center, not a profit center. The market is the best way to deal with problems such as health care. As an example consider the current system in America: from a market perspective a Doctor's incentive is to make sure you're sick and/or need lots of test and drugs. Further, the system is set up to "fight fires" rather than to prevent illness. The fix is consumer driven health care. Put a doctor's financial incentive in preventing illness and healing if become sick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
