Military and health care costs have spiraled out of control because no
one wants to appear anti-defense or take on the huge $ in pharma,
non-profit (cough, cough) hospitals, nor face the wrath of their
campaign finance coffers.
Medicine spends about 4 times as much lobby money into our politicians
as the military industrial complex.
That says where the $ is, doesn't it. Is there no end to Americans
being shaken down for the enrichment of the wealthy?
Is there no end to hard working taxpayers being shaken down for the
enrichment of those who would rather while away the time until the first
of the month to come around so they can get their benefits.

Sure. That's the heart of the problem. Not the billions spent by the
big corporations trying to get every last dime out of some guy who can
barely feed his family. You're really either stupid or a ****.
I think corporations are at least as smart as Willie Sutton. They are
more likely to target those with money.
They're in a commodity business... 4 billion hamburgs sold. You think
McD's is tarketing Ronmey lookalikes? If so, you're pretty ****ing
stupid.
I don't get people living in the land of plenty and having such a
problem surviving let alone thriving. I've seen immigrants arrive here
not speaking the language and have assets over a million dollars in
twenty years.
Yeah, you don't get it. Most immigrants end up picking veggies in the
fields for less than minimum wage, with no health insurance, and have
to hide in the shadows. Or, they work in a meat packing family until
either they're hurt of can't stand it any more. The immigrants that
you're talking about typically have some sort of support network when
they arrive, like Indians.
North Korea doesn't have those evil corporations, need a plane ticket?
Mikek
I think I'd be happy to chip in on one for you.
PS.
The grim suggestion that North Koreans are turning to cannibalism were
reported by the Asia Press, and published in the Sunday Times.
They claim a 'hidden famine' in the farming provinces of North and South
Hwanghae has killed 10,000 people, and there are fears that cannibalism
is spreading throughout the country.

So? What the **** does that have to do with medical costs? You ****ing
slimeball.
Capitalism and our Constitution built one of the highest standards of
living. North Korea's one party socialism one of lowest.
You lose when I make you mad. Or are you smiling when you write,
"****ing slimeball". :-)
Mikek
Regulated capitalism and unions, along with some visionary thought
built this country. NK won't be around that much longer.
I smile when you identify yourself as a slimeball. :-))
