>I don't disagree. However, if it is between defending the nation against the threat of Islamic Terrorists and providing for "pre-kindergarten", the choice is, to me, a no-brainer. But it's not. Iraq's not all that dangerous to us (though I'll never be able to convince you of that). It's between liberating another country (which I agree is important) and giving a boost to the future of hundreds of thousands of children. The more time I spend on this board, the more I appear to be talking myself out of being pro-war... >Well, the problem is that if you are going to have the best healthcare system in the WORLD (as we do), someone has to pay for it. Government programs simply cannot support the kind of medical advancements we have. I see it every day. Physicians can't make enough money off of Medicare and Medicaid to render decent services (particularly when facing malpractice premiums of $300,000/year). As a result, I often advise physicians to put limits on the number of Medicare and Medicaid patients they will accept; otherwise, they end up with a disproportionate number of patients who don't pay their ways. Tax a little more, man... it's worth it. -Z
