Huh? I thought "privatization" was the cost cutting mantra of the
Right. You know, how a lean mean corporation was more efficient
than a
bloated government agency. So, does this mean that if we eliminate
private health insurance companies, and go with a single payer
public
option, our health cost would go down? Damn, you're turning into a
Liberal.
Not really, look at the success record of govt "not for profit"
organizations. I would rather pay for something that works, than pay
double for something that doesn't.
Yup. Medicare and the VA don't work. Bummer.
Well, I guess it depends on who is in office at the time. When it was
Bush they sure didn't, that is if you listen to the chattering class.
Now miraculously a 10% unemployment rate is a recovery...
You really need to review the facts about the VA, for example, before you
make statements like this. Check out the person who's in charge of the
VA.
There is a technical recovery in process. Jobs are still a problem and
will continue to be for quite a while. What's your point?

Where is the recovery? The lead in the Dow rise is financials. And they
are going up because of the huge amounts of money the Fed is tossing at
them. The job outlook is bad, the retail outlook is bad, as those 20%+
without a job are not spending. The housing sales increase, but the price
decreased, and the $8k gift from the Fed just accelerated the purchases
and seems as if they are looking at $500 million if fraud with the
program. Look for the Dow to pull back 10-15% shortly. Put stops on your
stocks.
Look it up. It's been all over the news. So far, you haven't said anything
revealing about the recovery or lack thereof.
The recovery hasn't started yet. And it won't until REAL jobs are
created and REAL workers have money to spend on REAL goods and services,
which of course will be provided by REAL people doing REAL work. The way
your party is handling the situation is UNREAL. You should be ashamed of
yourself for supporting The king and his court in their underhanded
activities.
