Bills are not required to have corruption.

lmao! ever notice how many of these protesters look just like them? Now keep Government out of our lives as these protesters use our (Socialist) Social Security checks to gas up our new cars we bought with the cash for clunkers (Socialist) program to make our way to "Washintun" on those Federally funded (Socialist) Interstates!
Oh by the way once we get to DC can we use the Washington DC subway system (Socialist also) to get to these protests?

Phizer, like so many other companies intent on preserving their excessive profit, are who is funding the uproar about Healthcare reform. They use our "representatives" to push against reform, who in turn push their constituents into believing that reforming the system is somehow bad for them. Many are duped into it, and fail to see that, if successful, their own ability to keep healthcare services will push them into the group of Americans who cannot afford the costs. I know why the Ins and Pharma industry is against it, but it boggles the mind to see people working so hard to fall off that cliff.

Do you mean arguments like the New Deal never solved unemployment, the public school system is a complete failure, Medicare, Medicaid, SoSo Security are all broke, pretty much anything the federal government does ends up being a disaster, etc.?

You weren't supposed to bring up those so obvious failures by the national government. You were supposed to use the interstate highway system as one of those socialist things. You know the system that was approved by a Democrat Congress at the request of a Republican President? THEY love to throw up our roads as examples of successful socialism without ever mentioning that that system was created to make our system of trade better.

THEY seem to think that the old system of toll roads maintained by individuals like in the early 1800s would be the best for our present system of moving goods. You know like corduroy bridges and low water ones, and so on. Sad as hell but it is what THEY seem to like as what we should have.
