The cost of war

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

Once a rabble rousing mal-content, always a rabble rousing mal-content
huh Bob?

Hi 'Big Dick'.

Howz it hangin', buddy?

You ain't gonna' believe it, but I wuz waxing
melancholy about you just the other day.

The left coast bike world of Hardly-Go-Davidsons
must be treating you AOK from the tone of your crap.

Glad to see you can still stir a bit of stink, too.

No Dick, he just has a brain that is working quite well. Name one, just one
thing that the government controls that is not totally ****ed up and cost 10
times what it should. Anyone who thinks that the government could run the
healthcare industry better or cheaper than the current private system doesn't
have a clue. Most of our current run-up in healthcare costs can be directly
traced to and attributed to the government and the stupidity of the medicare
system.

Well Mr. reed I'm afraid I have to agree wqith you. If they can't keep
track of 8 million pounds of explosives that are stored in sealed
bunkers or find a seven foot tall raghead in the desert I'm pretty sure
they would screw up just about anything they touch.

While if YOU were President, you'd have 100,000 troops wandering
around in the wilderness in Pakistan/Afghanistan looking for one guy
who may or may not be there - and you'd personally supervise the
guarding of every single bunker in Iraq, right?

Actually, the POTUS is not here because he has MUCH more serious demands upon
him than wasting time bouncing electrons off a lot of yahoos' minds or excuses
therefor

Yee Haa!

Ya know Bob, in most cases I'd agree with you, but you asked for one
example of government control bettering the free market; here's one:

Google 'Montana Power' or ask anyone who buys power in Montana what they
think.

Here's some food for thought: if it isn't a free market, there isn't a
free market.
