Why on earth is medicaid and medicare so screwed up?
The same reason that US soldiers are getting killed in Iraq escorting convoys of empty Haliburton trucks all over the place. The same reason that it took FEMA a week to figure out there was an emergency in New Orleans, when every person in the country not employed by the government knew it was going to happen two days beforehand.
Nepotism, corruption, ineptitude, self-serving bureaucracy. It's the end result forcing 300,000,000 people under a single government which is then selected based on popularity. Nobody cares if anything gets done, as long as they look good for the TV cameras. They can pretend that they're providing healthcare coverage for poor people. They're not. A few doctors are taking care of the poor people out of the goodness of their own hearts, but the congressmen can pretend they are on Meet the Press and that's all that really matters. |
SPG can write up a storm, can't she? |

| Quote: | | Well, now you will enjoy the prestige of experiencing the truly unique and unprecedented collapse of civilization; this has no real historical president. Modernist artists and writers of the 20th century, were forever looking for ways to be original. Now, thanks to modern technology and democratic values, we'll all get to be original and engineer the decline of civilization! |

I suggest that member quotes be edited for basic grammar and spelling. It's embarrassing to see unnecessary mistakes broadcasted in this manner on the home page. These quotes are supposed to be examples of our finest thinking. Such errors may distract viewers and mar the message.

I agree. I hate it when I see myself quoted within a thread and to have the knowledge that I cannot go back and fix it really bothers me... well only until I fall asleep, then I don't care and by the time I wake up I don't remember.. but I'm digressing.
By all means either edit them or ask the author to edit it before it goes into the quotes section.

The new reality is the land export model. High prices = less supply. Learn it, get ready for it, live it, it is the new reality. |
