Oh no, they're saving the planet! Nixon wanted to free us from foreign oil but didn't know how. Maybe Obama does.

Oh by the way, both Bushes and Reagan with massive debt, Clinton left us ahead of the game. Republicans are big government for the rich with spend and put us in massive debt policies.

So do you hate the G.I. Bill, our victory in WWII, the Interstate Highway System, and reliable electricity service in rural areas?

Those things all involved big government and big spending, and they all involved temporay high levels of debt. And they all made America better.

Wise investments are better than unwise ones. That's all I can say.

We need single-payer.

The difference between the US health care system and most others in the rest of the industrialized world is that our is for profit! We have corporations making 100's of billions and insurance companies making 100's of billions of dollars off our health care system every year. That is why an aspirin cost $8 in a hospital. Every cost is so inflated it is criminal.

Dennis Kucinich ran on an not for profit health care system like in Europe, Obama is for an insurance based system. We will go broke!

Investors make short-term investments.

Government has the ability to make long-term investments that benefit everyone.

Both have a role to play.

A church can't set a badly broken leg.

What a church can do is direct someone to go to a hospital and doctors and hospitals in the United States are intelligent enough to be able to do what they do in every other advanced country: work out a system of payments so that the teenager can go back to being a contributing member of society instead of sitting at home for the rest of his life.

Charity is a way of gathering money from good people.

Taxes are a way of gathering money from everybody.

The latter seems more fair.

[dickelliott01]

Those sound like things charity and private scholarships should take care of

All I can say is it's about time!

Now if Obama would just get out of Afghanistan and stop occupying Iraq we could afford to do this!

Peace.

The Federal gov't has the ability to squander money on a scale the private sector can't match, that's true.

[ReliableInsider]

There are a lot of huge investments, good and bad, that have been made by private investors in this nation's history but there have also been a lot of huge investments made by Congress that turned out fairly well.

Such as the Louisiana Purchase.

One wonders how the new Republican Party would vote on the Louisiana Purchase today.
