Obama Suddenly, Obamacare is more unpopular than ever

Gee Red you agree with me. That is just what I said before the sentence you quoted. Perhaps you're learning after all. LOL

 

No kidding I would have never guessed.

 

I understand your distrust of politicians. However politicians are better than dictators; we have the ability to throw them out if we have the guts. It's up to you and all of us to muzzle them.
Moreso state politicians can do less damage per effort than national politicians.

 

You assume what I think Red. You despite you claim otherwise put me in the extreme right wing. I absolutely agree there is a important role for the federal government and believe it needs to be larger than it did even 50 years ago. I want it to be smarter though and that is tough to do. I also wish it would grow reluctantly
Unfortunately too many on the right act the same as those I decry on the left....they want the central government to do thier bidding and intrude on what they consider important. However I don't think they are as deep into that as the left is. Much of what the right wants is reactionary and harks back to a time that either never was or never will be again. The left seems to look for new ways to get into individuals business and "take care of us poor unfortunates who can't walk and chew gum at the same time. IMO the left does more to foster dependence than it does to allow for independence and growth.
I've wandered a little in my answer but there should be a dynamic between state/local and federal power. It should ebb and flow as needed by the times. It can't be set in 1789 or 1945 or 1980 or 2000 and stay the same. We grow and change or we die. However if we don't grow and change with the principles that have allowed us to grow from a small coastal agrarian country to a continental urban technological world super power we will cease to be.

 

more evidence that health care costs aren't going down anytime soon. Insurance rates are predictors of costs. Insurers want to cover future costs with today's dollars. The central premise that costs would go down because more are insured looks shakier and shakier.

And? Doesn't take away from my point. Things you know, can change.

 

well gee, any other questions i have about life in general, i'll be sure to run it by you first.
