There is an element of truth to that sentiment...one that thinking liberals quite agree with, you know.
Sadly, far too many radical libertopians fail to understand that taken to the extremes they seem to advocate, there is an element of truth to my over the top posting in this thread, too.
The devil is in the details, but don't for a moment imagine that many of us who are (by the definitions of radical libertopians, socialists) don't understand that welfare can be a disaster no less than moving too far in the other direction.
Finding the balance between individual liberty, and the rights of society to mitigate those freedoms is what thinking convatives and thinking liberals have been all about all along.
Sadly thinking liberal and thinking conservatives are painted with the same broad brushes as being either fascists or communists by unthinking radicals on both sides of this debate.
The poor an elderly would live longer and in less pain and the cost of health care would fall just for starters.Tell me, what type of impact on the defecit do you suppose universal health care would have?
Nothing naive nor assumptive about my statement. Rather, yours is just another baseless, partisan attack. The factuality of my statement is self-evident, and self-explanatory.
You cradle to grave folks would rathere wallow your entire lives in the mediocrity of a so-called "safety net" than risk losing something in order to gain more. It's okay if everybody has the same cookie cutter crap just so long as you get YOUR cookie cutter crap too.
There are plenty of social so-called utopia's around. Feel free to move to one and stop trying dick this place up because you're afraid to be responsible for your own destiny and need Big Brother to keep a hand firmly on the lifeline to bail you out if the going gets rough.

True enough. Regardless of the politics (right/left) I believe you teach people how to behave through feedback. And that is true of government legislation as well. So as a general rule I'm not in facor of legislation that absolve people of personal responsibility.
The two cases would be the housing bill/bailout and the common proposal by democrates for universal healthcare. I don't think one can argue that both of those don't do exacltey that. They remove responsibility from the people whether it be paying for healthcare or bailing them out of a bad mortgage. We can debate the uiversal healthcare issue, but the mortgage bailout really perturbs when you look at it from a behaviorial standpoint. You have home buyers that bought homes that first, they really couldn't afford in the first place. Second you have mortgage lenders giveing extremely risky mortgages. Usually ARMs and/or no money down. And now the government is going to bail a group of people out that showed extremely poor judgement and in doing so have reinforced the behavior that got them in trouble in the first place. And to top it off the market now won't correct for the initially inflated housing prices
