But the free market can still take care of health care if the government covers the shortfall for people who have no insurance. A national insurance scheme for the poor doesn't = government employing every doctor and managing every hospital. |
Yes, but if we're all paying for this health care system then eventually we'd all opt out of our private health care because why would people pay for both? Eventually we'd all be feeding off the government in my postulation. |

what about military spending?
Darwinian perspectives do not work in a society where you are not born equal. A more intelligent, stronger person born in a poor environment can still not have as much chance to achieve the success that a stupid weak individual from a higher income background does.
Humans are not wild animals.
If you need proof of this just look at the current President. |
elfreak talks sense when he's not slinging ! :) :) |

The US federal and the state budgets need a FULL revamp but no one wants to sit down and go through it all and make sense of it. |
Actually thats exactly what Obama has promised to do over and over for the whole campaign. |

Because you want more care than the basics that the government plan would give you? A number of countries have hybrid insurance systems, btw, like Germany. |

this is known as construction of the consitution

what is 'welfare'?
what is 'justice'?
who are 'ourselves'?
what are blessings and liberty?

I'd rather education be privatized but I know that won't ever happen so I don't really delve into it. As far as military, I think that ought to be government oriented, but I do want to strictly maintain the second Amendment. |

"Can", maybe, but I don't have as much faith in that happening with the United States government. |

one can hate blacks and still have black friends. just as i hate conservatives but still have conservative friends. having black friends does not excuse one when making racist remarks. |
If you was a true racist, why would you have black friends if you claim to hate them, that makes no sense.
If I hated black people I certainly would not befriend them! |
