Socialized Health Care

[Rolling Thunder]

It was 'Stache who said that, not me. Why are you putting my name there as if I said that? I completely disagree with him.

Because your post ID happened to be left over in my Reply box, that's all.

Socializing medicine would, in theory, fix most of these problems right there and that's why i prefer it to what we have now.

"Theory" is the operative word.
In theory, Soviet-style Communism would lead to paradise on earth. Look how well that worked out.

In theory, American-style Democracy would lead to freedom from sea to shining sea. Look how well that worked out. At least, compared to every other system.

Let's not forget that America is a grand experiment by a bunch of eggheads who thought the theories of philosophers like John Locke and Adam Smith were right.

Could you imagine if Obama started talking about some kind of "invisible hand" as a reason for why his polices would work? How people would freak out on him? Yet that idea is at the core of our economic ideology.

And if he cited 'Deficet finance', despite that is what he is/should damned well be doing. Humans are stupid, and should be treat as thus.

Are you going to refute my argument soon, or do you have more unconnected and unsupported assertions to make?
Incidentally, America was conceived as an isolationist state, and the founding fathers didn't really agree on anything economically.
