KT, I'm going to have to start including you in the delusional column. ;-) Seriously, if you can't see that there were legitimate reasons to debate whether or not to go into Iraq, you almost have to be delusional or not understand risk and probabilities. Now granted, a very rational and informed person could easily conclud we shouldn't have gone in (I was 50-50), but to not see that it was a very difficult decision screams a problem in the analysis and understanding. I don't know much about the Schip program, but I can guarantee several things without knowing a thing. 1. The actual cost will be dramatically higher than the current official estimates. 2. After about a decade (probably less) it will managed horribly and there will be little or no way to change things for the better because of jobs and dependency. 3. It's highly likely that democrats are trying to include people that can afford to buy private insurance for their children because they want to maximize the number of people that will vote for them in the future when it becomes apparent it's another government debacle and rational people try to cut it.
