Pfft! It is the Christians that are now running the show, be it from Washington or Moscow.

Would that be back when good Christians carried on about how Medicare would bankrupt the nation?

Or back when they said the same thing about Social Security?

Christians wouldn't do that. That's my point.

Christians are the largest hate group in our country, kind of like a Muslim light.

So is that the problem? Is that why we fine the poor and argue to kick them to the streets when sick?

The problem with sick is that it spreads- and it's more costly- when not nipped at the bud.
The man gets a cold or a bug-- no Ins... so doesn't go to the Dr. -now has pneumonia, now he is worse off and still does not go to the Dr- until collapses - now he is in critical care at some hospital- running in the millions. While in hospital -he loses his job - wife makes little, so gets food stamps- now we taxpayers paying more than a bottle of antibiotics and a DR visit--
oops- it was a contagious bug--and his kid sick too-- but kids goes to school on a bus --and happens to be the same bus your kid takes
