from Obama's speech last night

The new health care program is going to get 2/3 of its funding from cutting already-existing government programs.

Here is my question ...

Why not cut those programs, and instead of funding this massive idiocy, reduce people's taxes, so they can afford health care on their own?

Just a thought ... probably too rational to go anywhere, I'm sure. :(

Ever been involved with a government program before? Now ... try to imagine going through that hassle in order to deal with a health-care emergency.

Kidney stones in line at the Secretary of State office ... just picture it. :(

I want to laugh at your joke but it is too close to being true.

Isn't the government already paying for your health care? They do mine. Yup. Sick call at 6 a.m. and -- after a three hour wait -- they give me (free of charge) a bottle of advil.

And of course when the Gov't employees have those furlough days then everyone will understand that they can't get seriously ill that day right!...

You know ... a 3-hr wait beginning at 6:00 a.m. for a bottle of Advil seems very prophetic, doesn't it? And the idea of the entire health care system going on furlough ... yep ... that too.

Yikes ... can't wait for the 2010 elections ...
