The cost of war

OH GEESH!
I don't see a connection on healthcare and a war "that is killing my
children". I sure would like to see something done about healthcare, how to
fix it is a task and a half to say the least. Mostly because some blame the
gov., others blame the doctors and some like myself blame the insurance
companies. Maybe the answer is to have the gov provide a cheap insurance for
people that can not get insurance from employers? Of course I think a
reasonable premium should be charged in the hopes to offset costs, but like
the man said the gov could lose money selling beer! HAHA I got a laugh out
of that.
As for the war, would you rather a rag head kill your children here? For
years they have gotten bolder and bolder with their attacks. I remember when
I was a Marine and my brothers were killed in the attack in Beruit...seems
the senators could not get their heads out their butts then about the UN.
And sure couldn't about us defending ourselves. And of course they all
thought it would never happen in the US. Well it did! I know there are those
who feel the Iraq thing is just totally wrong. But the fact is, it will not
stop unless we go into all of those "snakey" places and as Barney Fife would
say " Nip it in the Bud". People do not like to admit it but this is a jihad
against a crusade. Be all lovey dovey and nice to everyone if you want but
if you want this nation to have that attitude towards these people ( if you
wish to call them that..I prefer DOGS!") then your children will be blown up
in their schools right here in this country just like a bunch of Russian
children were the other week. You may not agree with me, and I respect that
...but I have been there and I have seen it first hand. My children are safer
because the killing is going on over there and yours are too. In another
year when my boy is a Marine then he will help protect your children too.
It's out of control Islamic idiots that will harm your children and yourself
, not the government.
As far as trusting the government, well i don't think the founding
fathers ever meant for any of us to "trust" them. Keep them in check! I beg
everyone to do that, but be open minded enough and non- partisan enough to
see truths instead of political spin from either side. it's all the partisan
spin that has to be waded through to get to the truth and when everyone is
"spinning" that's when they can't be trusted. Right now it's coming from one
side just as bad as the other. To bad both parties are worried about
partisan propaganda more than protecting this nation.
I hope you will say a prayer for those Marines and other service men and
women throughout the world whose job it is to make sure your children are
safe, and to make sure you have the right to speak out against anything you
wish . It's sad , and it breaks my heart, but miliary people die to protect
our rights and country. I fear this will all get worse before it gets
better. Iraq has been easy compared what it yet to come...rest assured it is
coming. Iran , Syria and North Korea...oh my!

Semper Fi !

The bigger issue might be when the government runs the healthcare

they must also set the salaries of those in the industry. Just how

they should earn?

Whatz gnu?
The HMO's are in effect setting salaries now...
and the effects are observable as we speak.

If govt takes over, I'd guess salaries and costs
would rise while quality of care heads south.

Where do I get such an opinion?
If the govt were in the beer brewing business...
a six pack would cost $25 and Uncle Sam
would still be losing money. g

You guys wouldn't trust the government with your health care but you'd
trust
them with prosecuting and running a war that's killing your children?
