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.
You should be ashamed of your intellectual dishonestly.

I don't know what you expect me to conclude from your presentation of
"facts". Spend a few days with that web site. Drill things down and see
if you truly and honestly can say we are on the road to recovery based
on what you find.
Using your web site. I just took a look at how my county benefited.
Supposedly there were 3 contracts awarded and 3 jobs created for a total
cost of $21,471. Thats amazing.
I am not ashamed. You need to wake up and smell the garbage.
