What's ironic is that you've spent the last decade supporting the policies of a guy who's brought the country to the brink of collapse and now you're whining about budgets. It's almost like you're shameless. You didn't give 2 sh*ts about mortgaging anybody's anything for Iraq or whatever else over the last decade. It's funny how you think you have principles now. Dude, come on, your "principles" vary with occupant of the Whitehouse. Stop lying to yourself. But that having been said, let's quickly reveal why what you're saying is both unrealistic and ignorant: (1.) Hey remember the economic crisis we're in? If this country - forget our opinions - was willing to "dismantle the welfare state" we would've let everything collapse. That's what freedom means. But we didn't. Why? Because 99.9% of people in this country are willing to trade freedom for consistency and predictability. Including you, btw. You were the first to say "government intervention!" So you don't support your own policy suggestions. Think for 2 micro-seconds: there are people right now that can't retire now AND they get social security. Think if they'd been allowed to put that money into the market. We'd be approaching mass old people poverty. Which I guess is easy to favor when you have rich parents. And, frankly, you personally are not smart enough or talented enough to deal with the freedom you suggest and you're probably in the top 10% of Americans. There's not enough time in the day for you to comb through all the bureaucracy to deal with your freedom. So the market has failed there. The only question is whether we tolerate it or not. You say "yes", but yours is an ignorant yes as I've just revealed for you. (2.) Cost projections are based on changing nothing and I can tell you from experience that's not going to be the case. O is dumping $20 billion into health care IT. This is simply a business problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292516 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
