First stop blaming government for everything you think is wrong. It was not the government that orchestrated the financial meltdown, it was your friends and neighbors, the insurance exec, the high roller real estate developer, the speculator.

The government was not making the unsecured loans it was your neighborhood bank trying to cash in on a bloated housing market. The government is not directly responsible for the high cost of health care, look at the profits and salaries of the top executives of the insurance companies. Bean counters make the decision on what treatment you get, and how soon you get it. You think you have a choice in private health care, if you do you are paying a fortune, otherwise somebody that is not a doctor is determining what level of care you get.

Medicare, medicaid and social security are some of the most cost-effective programs in existence much more value than private health insurance.

Before calling people Socialists or Nazis you should become informed and educated on exactly what those terms mean. People that bandy those terms about regarding our government sound like mindless idiots.

Yeah, but once I learn to make bread, I'm sure there will then be yeast lines.

How are people going to afford it when they are hurting. Why now?? Why when so many are out of work, taking lower income jobs, come on. Who is all this going to help??? OPEN YOUR EYES!! QAND HITLER WAS BETTER THAN OBAMA!!! Im sorry I see FEAR coming! Say what you want but your liberals and tell me who is benefiting for all this?????
I'm guessing those in the psychotherapy field are benefiting greatly. You better pray that the healthcare bill includes treatment for paranoia.

It must be nice living in LA LA Land! Back to the Basics??? You think all this government spending with get us back to basics? Void of valves, spirituality and morals...have you ever seen our country so divided? You have blinders on.
