Actually, if we wish to get really silly about chasing back to topics, you've changed it more times than I care to count. I've just let them pass. You may well, for instance, have mentioned Walter Reed in the context of single payer systems, at least in your mind, but we weren't talking about that. Rather, the Republican decision to keep the government from bargaining for better prices on the drug coverage.
I do, as you know, much prefer a single payer system for healthcare. Medicare for all. But that's not the topic you and I were discussing.
As for the style of your argument, it's familiar. Take the worst possible example, the post office, generalize it without supporting evidence, to all government programs. You forget that FEMA was well managed under Clinton, a disaster under Bush. Ah, but we know you think it's evolutionary. Which makes it possible for you to forget that FEMA was a problem under the first Bush, corrected under Clinton, and became a problem again under the second Bush. Looks like a pattern to me.
I gather you won't be sending me your social security check! If you successfully get rid of these government programs, the Nanny state as you call it, you'll certainly have spiff up on the dancing. ;-) |
