As a democrat that can't afford the 1/3rd of his check that goes missing every month who is already paying $400 per month for family health insurance that is pretty damn good. What do I think of proposed universal health care ( Read more... )

The war is expensive, just like Universal health would be,... but INSTEAD of killing over a million Iraqis, over 3000 of our own soldiers, paying BlackWater and Halliburton to have contractors over there, paying for detention camps for people to be tortured to death/near death and tens of thousands of dead "combatants",... we're making sure 18% of Americans who cannot afford insurance, cannot go to the doctor when they are sick, spend years paying off when their kid gets a broken arm, or people having to get dentures when their teeth can be saved but its too expensive to do so ( ... )

Justifying this expediture by saying it's the same as the current war in Iraq is not a selling point now is it. If you're telling me that we're looking at a 7% max increase in taxes at this point, I can't help but imagine that would be at least doubled in implementation. Are you actually asking me to trust a poliitician when it comes to numbers ( ... )
