Health Care

But let?s go further. The argument ?it will cost jobs? comes up whenever people talk about increasing the minimum wage, increasing workplace safely, you name it. However, that just ain?t so. When wages are increased, when safety issues are dealt with, there often can be a temporary loss of jobs (more often a loss due to attrition, rather than firings), but after that short period, more people are hired because, when people earn more, they can afford to spend more, which allows people to sell more and make more products.

We are not talking about a dollar an hour increase here we are talking about an increase which amounts to 2-3 times the annual salary of the part time employ's.

Full time hourly employs it might not be as drastic a difference but this is nothing like a dollar an hour increase. This is like comparing apples and oranges.

And, if you want to go further, the banking industry wasn?t run by the government and it was on the verge of collapse until the government helped it. Enron and WorldCom fell apart, and how many companies have gone belly up. Do we really want private industry, with its failings, to run our health care industry?

Truthfully the only people I distrust more than these bussiness men are politicians who will sell this country down the river as long as they benifit from it that applies to both parties by the way

These programs are not on the brink of disaster because they are run by the government. The financial issues which may arise in Medicare and Social Security arise because the President and the Congress, ever since Ronald Reagan, used the trust funds that had developed to keep the budget deficit lower. Stop this usage, and you?ll fin that Social Security will be fine for years to come and tweak Medicare rules and all will work. Medicaid is largely handled through the states. Similarly, it?s a bon mot to claim that the government can?t do anything right. That just ain?t so. My national parks run smoothly, my roads are pretty well done, the water that comes to my home is clean and disease free, and I trust the way my military keeps me from harm

You think that will stop if you do I have a bridge here in Brooklyn and I'm selling cheap.
