lead to a government takeover of the industry which it hasn't.
If the US ever does adopt single payer insurance you should consider yourself lucky, it would basically be medicare for everyone. Canada has a single payer system and has a healthcare system that is statistically superior to that of the US. Also under a single payer system $400 billion dollars could be saved every year in administrative fees alone.

Yes you are correct. Many progressives view the public option as a stepping stone to a single payer system. However the public option could only evolve into a single payer system if it was superior to the private insurance. Obviously it would be pretty difficult to implement single payer if the public option wasn't able to compete with its corporate competators in a free market. Besides, back in the 60's people were saying the same things your saying but about medicare. they claimed it would--

right... well if you're ever able to actually refute something I've said then I'd love to hear it. Also I'd suggest you read up on the health care bill since you seem to think its a government takeover of the health care industry which its not.

Oh well, perhaps prison will reform you.

Hehe. Don't bother refuting any of my points that would be difficult. Also don't bother PROVING my supposed ignorance, with facts and logic, just say it with nothing to back it up.
You can't argue with me and your conformation bias will keep you from agreeing with me. This is the real reason you "see no need to continue". Old people seem so set in their ways that most will never change their opinion. Even when the facts are presented to them.

You are ignorant. Perhaps you will understand when you work half of your week just to pay govt taxes. You appear to comprehend nothing from this exchange.
You havn't got a clue on Bush vs. obama spending and the rest of your comments are equally unimpressive.
I really don't think that in your few years of self awareness, that you have been able to detect even a hint of your purety of ignorance.
I see no reason continue.

Also it seems like the purpose of the cap n trade is to encourage the research of clean energy and to decrease dependence on foreign countries for energy.

I posted my reply as new comments to avoid a big mess.

It's true that a lot of the bailout money was misspent and if this was what you guys where protesting then I would say power to ya. However saying that there shouldn't have been a bailout at all, blaming Obama for the bailout or saying that there should not be any health reform is dumb.
I WAS, AND IT WAS AWSOME!

Banks spent that money buying other banks and giving themselves billions in bonuses. It wasn't used for lending purposes. Cap and trade is an energy tax. anything that uses energy will be taxed (except windmills and solar). Imagine buying a new car where every part gets a new tax to include energy used in obtaining raw materials and every step in the process. Nearly everything you buy will layer upon layer of energy tax. Largest tax increase in the history of man. George Sorros' oil co in brazil
