The solution to the economic woes that face us is simple: get government out of the way. Cut spending, reform tax policy, stay the hell out of our health care. Stay out of our lives. People can take care of themselves.
PS : Despite what you may have heard, people really can take care of themselves. If they can't - well that's too fucking bad. That is what family, friends, and charity is for- to help the retards, mental defectives, and cripples. If you're not one of those - you shouldn't get shit. Welfare is a temporary program, not a goddamn lifestyle. Can't find a job? - tough shit. Move in with friends or buy a tent and a sleeping bag because you're gonna need it. Then pick up a mirror. Take a deep look into it so you know exactly who to blame for your life. Government is not your mommy. Get used to that fact.
I hate walmart. Won't step inside one. Never spent a dime in one. Never plan to.
Hey, I'm on board ready to flex my part in the 'collective economic muscle'.
How 'bout you Huggy?
Single payer for health care to start off with. The VA has shown government can do a million times better than private insurance companies where a CEO can have a paycheck of $120,000,000.00 while not producing anything of importance simply by skimming insurance policies.
The VA spends 94 cents for every dollar on the patient. The other 6 cents going to administrative costs.
Show me how private industry can match that when they own private jets, eat off gold trim plates (Cigna) and can pass out a paycheck of more than $100,000,000.00!
Huggy - We agree on many things - but part of me feels that education is the key here - and if we cannot reach the American consumers - there are ways to relay the message to our ind business owners - consumers respond to marketing and convenience - most business owners understand where we are coming from but are unaware of the power of influence they hold in their communities. They are in the position to spread this message by posting one sign on an American product in their store that reads - Made in America - Bring Jobs Back - I believe something so simple could get people to start thinking about what they do with their money - Every little thing that I am working on is simple - free and plants a seed - I still believe that people want to do the right thing and if they understand the importance - things will change.
I wonder if the VA is as ruthlessly efficient as suggested?
The Link Below said:PAYGO required all increases in direct spending or revenue decreases to be offset by other spending decreases or revenue increases.

Doom and gloom - this hopelessness is jarring - I will have to take a couple of hours and absorb it and gather my thoughts on the matter - maybe I am over optimistic about the American spirit - Does this leave things up to the government and big biz to decide our fate? I hate to say it - but my faith in both to do the right thing has all but expired. The only hope I had was in the American spirit being reignited for a worthy cause - to save themselves from being owned by a few rich and powerful. The people are all the people have left I am not ignoring the health care question - I just am not educated enough at this point to give an answer I feel would be relevant - the comments make sense as far as structure of the program the VA has in place - a completely goverment run healthcare system with no options may be a bit much for people to swallow after all the stuff in the bill about people getting treatment after a board decides that they are worth the treatment - due to age or whatever - something like if you are too old we won't treat you for cancer because you are going to die anyway - don't quote me - because like I said I really am just passing hearsay at this point and will look into it
