What we need is a cut in government spending. The waste is incredible. If people from Hollywood want to help the poor then they can give money directly to whatever cause they feel appropriate. They don't need the government to distribute the money for them.

The notion of subjecting politicians to lie detector tests is particularly appealing!We have had a national health service here for many years. Everyone, including illegal immigrants qualify for treatment free at the point of delivery.

I don't trust the government with my dog, let alone my healthcare. We have an HSA, since we are self-employed, and it works out great. What we don't spend on healthcare is in an interest bearing savings account. We're still covered for the big costs and emergencies and it is very affordable.Vicki G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06095548245444758990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793067567367118849.post-76649373276006036842008-10-05T10:27:00.000-07:002008-10-05T10:27:00.000-07:00here, herehere, hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793067567367118849.post-74523652549682428752008-10-05T10:17:00.000-07:002008-10-05T10:17:00.000-07:00There were so many things I could list, but I had ...There were so many things I could list, but I had to quit at some point.

It hurts our economy so much by not providing jobs to Americans. I would approve a tax break to companies who keep 100% of their jobs in America.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061053212125980892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793067567367118849.post-14294302934372518832008-10-05T09:42:00.000-07:002008-10-05T09:42:00.000-07:00Since I agree with most of your post, I am only go...Since I agree with most of your post, I am only going to remark on the items I disagree with (but as I said, I agree with most of what you wrote!)<BR/><BR/>Tax increases - they need to happen for big business and the wealthy. Too many businesses and the wealthy find too many tax shelters or off shore bank accounts. They need to be appropriately taxed to help ease the burden on the middle class and the small business owners.<BR/><BR/>Socialized medicine - well, OUR government running healthcare is scary, but as a whole, socialized medicine is a much better way to go. Living where I do, in such close proximity to Canada (and working in healthcare myself,) I have come into contact with many Canadians who have shared their views on this topic with me. The Canadian system is so far and above ours, that it is sad. Everyone gets the care they need and there are less "major" problems because everyone gets the preventative care they need. They also never have to choose between seeing a doctor, buying their medicine, paying for insurance and eating, having electricity, paying their rent, etc.<BR/><BR/>Lie detectors - I think all politicians are so good at lying that there wouldn't be any noticeable changes in their pulse rate, etc, that the lie detector would be ineffective.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061053212125980892noreply@blogger.com
