Hey, "Made in the USA". That is another problem with SS. With all that money you have put in, your rate of return is terrible.

So would you trust them with socialized healthcare?

absolutely, unequivocably no.

Private enterprise is more efficient. MUCH more efficient.

It's a mess with private enterprise running it. Can you imagine how bad the govt could f**k it up?

The problem is that some people can't see how bad it really can get, so they're looking to Big Brother to make it better. The thing is, it will only get worse if the idiots in Washington get ahold of it.

Right now, market forces are creating drastic effects. The docs aren't getting rich, none of the other health care professionals are. It's private companies that are. It will change, but if the govt intervenes, all hell will break loose.

The Dem voting base is partially made up of people that depend on the gov't to take care of them

Gee, guess all those rich people at Bear Stearns were Dems ?

Such simple views. Get real. More money has gone from the government to rich people and rich companies than all the rest of us combined. Socialism for the wealthy is the law of the land. The rest is just to keep mid-level government employees looking like they work.

Here's the news on Mr. McCain's economic adviser -- more of the same, I guess. Rich get ... etc.
Kevin Hassett has been advising Bush on the economy and is now John McCain's prime economic advisor.
Broad Street: I'm glad you're not managing personal investments Kevin - but did you say you're advising Bush and now McCain?

While what you wrote sounds so bad, the last time I checked it wasnt the poor who employed people.
