that guys in a cave comment is one of Kirks favorite tag lines, and IMO one of the most Ignorant and naive things I have ever heard said in light of what happened on 911. he is probably one of those who thinks it was not Islamic terrorist who attacked us, but us that attacked us. I would no be surprised one bit if he was.
Not to mention Taxes would SKY rocket, further slowing an already align economy, and you think the war in Iraq cost a lot, this will grow deficit spending and out Debt exponentially compared to the War in Iraq, and the war on terror. Many estimated put the cost of universal health care in the US in the trillions of dollars PER YEAR.
add that to a budget that is already over 3 trillion a year and see what you get.
Kirk lives in a land of fairy tales and pipe dreams.
Oh, Mr. Cheney, please protect me from the scarey terrorists!!!! They have brown skin and beards!! Our country of 300 million people is in GRAVE DANGER from a couple of dozen guys in a cave 12,000 miles away!!!
Ridiculous!
And universal healthcare....
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WESTERN WORLD HAS UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES! And guess what? They pay HALF per capita what we pay for healthcare. Why? Because we have a for profit system that is inherently inefficient. Universal healthcare is cheaper and better than our system, that is why every other western country uses it.
