That's a matter of opinion. One could say that people wouldn't have voted for Obama if things were going to get worse but unemployment has gone UP and job creation is still DOWN since he was elected.

Job losses have gone down from 750,000 per month to 95,000 per month as of Sept. 2010... That's job creation...

We already addressed this in another thread, you aren't capable of understanding the difference between job creation and less job losses... let's just move on.

What's only a matter of a couple months? Your ability to understand the subject? I can deny that based on your posts.

they are underfunded...........

let's see medicid was 320 billion last year to cover just under 30 million poor people

medicare was nearly 500 billion to cover just under 45 million seniors


so you are saying that over 800 BILLION to cover just over 70 million people (about 1/5 of our population) is underfunding.........


btw that would make the math for a true singlepayer system for our WHOLE population of 320 million..the total YEARLY cost would be over 3.5 TRILLION...A YEAR


even if you taxed EVERYONE at 75%, you couldnt cover that


still want to say medicare/caid was under funded.....????

Why would I believe that if the numbers keep showing the opposite happening? The only chance we have is for Democrats to lose control in November and some sanity coming back to Washington.
