Wasn't it Obama who said changing things in government is like turning the titanic. Private industry is more nimble and easier to make changes to than government.

we need "government care"??

look at the spending

we spend a little over 600 BILLION A YEAR on medicare, medicaide/schip. this cover approximetly 60 million people (about 1/4 of the poplulation).....to cover the other 3/4 of the population will cost the american TAXPAYER an ADDITIONAL 1.8 trillion A YEAR

just who will pay for this???

according to the IRS there where 121 million 1040/a/ez's filed last year. an additional 1.8 TRILLION dollars would come out to approx 15000 (15 THOUSAND) additional PER TAXPAYER......do you have that kind of money?????????

Keep in mind, the "socialized" services listed in the video are handled entirely by LOCAL governments, not the feds. There's an enormous difference.

The whole video was a joke. Not a single comparison or point it made was valid.
