    I don't see the destruction of Europe.

    At least one difference is that no one in Europe goes to a televangelist for their healthcare!

    The only way inflation will help matters is if wages do not keep pace.

    Only problem there is that a majority of middle class households are already struggling to make ends meet with two incomes.

    Inflating our way out of this mess will only create another mess...

    Not true.

    The government is able to rob us of our wealth because of the lack of a constitutional amendment prohibiting them from borrowing to fund their operation.

    Jefferson wanted it, but the greedy bastards were already entrenched and shot it down.

    Remember one thing pal, a healthy country is a prosperous country, full of industry, ambition and higher consumption.

  9. Once these guys start with it's a human right, I ask where does it end? If healthcare is a basic human right, then so is food and shelter right? Hell, the right to communication must be a human right as well. Before you know it, all of these "human rights" include housing, food stamps, cell phones.

  10. All I can say is "OH YEAH". Socialism is finally being exposed.
    Previously hidden behind the BUBBLE.
