Z, teddyjack, CJ, the rest, think government is the solution to all problems

When you try to argue from a point where the end justifies the means, it's clear where a lot of the responses come from, thin air. Or a nervous laugh like Obama and Hillary.

When you call their bluff, their reaction is predictable. Definitely not intellectual heavyweights, hell, anyone with some common sense can defend their opinion, *if* it's defensible, theirs are not.

What we think is that government CAN be run well, there are examples where it IS, and it doesn't suffer from the need to make a profit and have perpetually rising stock prices. There are some needs that are best met by government, and health care is one of them. The military is another.
