Polk, you are naive. All you had to do is look at our governments track record on running a business, and holding costs down. They can't do it, and you refuse to see it, because you are so partisan. I'm not going to waste my time on your wasted mind, sorry.
What's odd is this belief people on the right have that the government is a business.
Where did I say the government was a business? Again you project, and can't comprehend what you read, Polk. I said it runs a business, such as medicare. What you refuse to acknowledge, and not address is how bad they do run Medicare. You refuse to acknowledge, and not address the HUGE deficits that it runs with Medicare, SS, and Welfare. Please by all means address the shortcomings of the governments failed attempt to reign in costs with Medicare. I have a feeling you won't, because your talking points memo's that you use don't acknowledege these facts. Grow up, and look at reality, Polk, because right now you just look at it as, "wouldn't it be nice if...."
