"The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. The radical vice of all these schemes, from a sociological point of view, is that C is not allowed a voice in the matter, and his position, character, and interests, as well as the ultimate effects on society through C's interests, are entirely overlooked. I call C the Forgotten Man.

Himes healthcare takeover already has massive cost overruns. It was to cost only $788 billion. Since March, the price has risen by $115-125 billion, according to the CBO.
Only in DC does one encounter the phrase only $788 billion. Only with followers such as Himes can Pelosi pass laws first and admitting to the costs later. Only if the voters return Himes to DC will we get more of the same: fraudulent accounting of the costs of his votes, wasteful spending, and taxpayer abuse.

Failed ad hominem attack?
Which one was the personal attack?
None.
Ad hominem attacks are different.
My point is correct, you're a hypocrite.
You want the same people who make war to give you healthcare miracles.
My facts backwards? Backwards from your Keynesian reasoning.
Because it's the status quo it doesn't mean it's fair.
When your system fails again perhaps you will not escapegoat any of the politicians and become 100% pro-liberty.

Yes, the US should leave the countries it has invaded... that is just common sense.. of course .. but that is just a failed attempt at an ad hominem argument.
The US is broke, which is why it should adopt socialized medicine. This will lower the deficit & debt and strengthen the economy, which will lead to greater individual freedoms for everyone, just like Jefferson and and the other forefathers would have wanted. You have your facts backwards.

@LifeIsGood63 Its not like he would end the ENTIRE fed, just programs we dont need that just waste money. 10's of millions will be out of work when this economy crashes anyways, which isnt that far off. If we dont do something to boost confidence into our economy soon it could mean the end of the US. I think Pauls ideas could be that boost, imo :D

I know what he wants to do. I respect that. Yet 10's of millions will be out of work and will lose everything. His process will not be that simple. I know we have to do it. Yet, I want to know the plan to circumvent people starving to death. This recovery would take years. The weak will die. Anyone who knows how to survive will be OK. Yet, In this day of electronics who will be left? I may vote for him. God, Help us all..

Whether socialized medicine works or not is not my point.
Other countries do no engage in nation building or invade other countries.
The US is broke and spends too much, socialized medicine wont fucking work, stop being so capricious about it. Why don't worry about ending the ongoing wars and closing the several military bases overseas?
Don't be a hypocrite please, you want health for Americans but undermine the death of foreigners funded through your taxes.

More, more tax cuts! No corporation should have to pay for anything!
If you are poor or had bad luck, or were screwed over, then you deserve to die! That's the American way!
Of course these greedy corporations will make health care cost less than a government willing to operate it at cost like a system that works like in Canada. :)
