Comment on Demographic Deathwatch: Credit Crunch & Debt Burden are Just the Beginning

Comments

"… but Good King Barack seems determined to saddle us with the same unaffordable entitlements that have scuttled the rest of the west."

Why not just come out and say it? Letting people spend all of their savings on healthcare and die of disease before they get old is a feature, not a bug.

Interesting idea, but I doubt it will be popular. Not sure what is being suggested here other than that.

Let me help you out then.

Aside from the administration's health care nationalization goal, that you have already illogically and fanboyishly endorsed without even knowing exactly what it is, there are a myriad of other debt producing (tax requiring) instruments that the administration has or is in the process of implementing, thus making the U.S. more "inline" with the norms of western Europe. Now, if you hate America and idolize western Europe, as is the trend among many people today, then you think this is a good thing. The author, however, is of a different opinion.

But hey, one issue voters like you (healthcare seems to be your issue, doesn't it?) are the norm, not the exception, so we're all in good hands.

What's with the personal attack? When did I illogically and fanboyishly endorse Barack Obama's plan? I'm telling you my interpretation of this article. I even went as far as to call it interesting. I think that even if it's logical, I doubt the american people will get behind it.

Furthermore, I wouldn't call one comment on a posting about healthcare enough to make it "my issue".

I think you have me mistaken for your stereotyped enemies. Grow up Tom.

Whereas in a socialized system, we can let the government decide when you are old or sick enough to not be cared for.

America drives the rest of the world in health care, from the best doctors to the best equipment to the best drug company research. Where would we be without that?
