I'm opposed to silly, inane, irrelevant questions, which this appears to be.

1 point to pghquest because the only way this question would be silly, inane, irrelevant, is if you are conceeding that this is an effort to put the mass population on one plan.

Have a good day..

I've conceded NOTHING to your inane argument/question, I clearly stated my case that I believe general means MOST, if you think that leads to a question about 5% you've got big comprehension problems.

Minus points for your reading (in)ability.

I just repeated what YOU said, and pointed out the fact that health care is for 5% of the population. Dont get all upset and in a tangent over something YOU said, it might give you a headache.

No, you asked if I opposed healthcare for 5%. Where does that figure come from? YOU are the one clearly off on your own personal tangent, I've been nothing but consistent my belief "promote the general welfare" should be for the entire population.

Obamas own figures..

His latest speech says that 30,000,000 will be covered under the new plan, of those, 2/3rds are poor but cant get coverage, (As if the poor cant be added to the welfare rolls), the other 1/3rd are not poor, but dont have coverage. 1/3rd of 30,000,000 = 10,000,000 individuals, thats less than 5% of the population.

People who spend on things like that are straight from Beelzebubs own loins. If the "other guy" suffers, they find it "just too damned bad."

I hear about this government waste all the time, but answer me this. How much corporate waste do you think there is? How much household waste do you think there is? What are those doing to this country?
