Thanks lwllms and wormil for some facts about healthcare and the US Postal service, but if you’re trying to convince people who all ready are quit aware(convinced) of how the world works you will be disappointed. There was a study of people done by a university in Ca. that showed that when people are given evidence that contradicts their beliefs, they don’t become less confident in their beliefs. In fact, and surprisingly they become even more convinced that they are right.
Don’t stop your posting though, people who have not made up their minds may need your viewpoint.
I don’t listen to the Donald, don’t watch his show, never listened to Fox when they were all agog at him running for the presidency.
I don’t like the Affordable Healthcare Act. It is going the wrong way. Putting more money into the insurance industry that should be going to making our citizens more healthy. I would rather have something like the VA hospital system open for everyone. If it was well funded, it would work for every one. If someone wanted “better” care they could pay for it out of pocket. I think the whole compromise with the republicons by starting where they were, and then they just moved further away from their prior position was wrong and doomed from the start.

I have a question, do any of you object to having a public fire department? Do you object to having public education? If you object to paying three dollars per day to feed a child, are you willing to adopt that child and feed it? If you are not willing to adopt them, just what do you propose to do with them? Our prisons are over crowded how many more people do you want to put behind bars? Do you think it cheaper to house a criminal than it is to feed a child?

Thanks for bringing up FDR. He said that taxes were the dues we paid to live in a civilized society. All one would have to do if they hated taxes that bad is move to Somalia. Somalia has to be a modern conservatives dream, small government and religion plays a large part in every bodies life.
