-That our health care in this country is the best in the world, and that is why it's so outrageously expensive.
- That taking out student loans and getting more education is a guarantee of a good paying job these days.
- That anyone can "create" jobs. Jobs are created by demand for goods and services by consumers who have the ability to pay for those goods and services.
- That any political party is actually "fiscally conservative" or has better "morals" than another one
- That any elected official in office today, anywhere, is serving the best interests of the average American working person
- That violence portrayed in our popular culture has no effect whatsoever on human behavior
You're right. We should do what we want, because we're the USA! And not do what works well for the world at large and provides better outcomes for a better price
We should do what's best for us, after evaluating our issues based upon OUR circumstances, not those of some other nation.
If you have a college education, you will get a job.
Green energy will save the economy.
Second hand smoke is more dangerous than car emissions.
Big Pharma cares about your health (rather than your $$$).
The Federal Government being involved in local education is a good thing.
China is going to keep lending us money ad infinitum. Debt? What Debt?

It sounds nice in theory, but it just doesn't work like that. And we can't keep making decisions based on what sounds nice in theory. Trickle down sounded nice in theory too. But (and I'm sure you're about to disagree), it didn't work at all.
