we can disagree on a lot of issues but I respect your viewpoints. we need to stop labeling all liberals or conservatives as a bloc. we should consider grey along with black and white. we live now in a complex geopolitical and economic environment;there are no easy answers. Pete Petersen of Blackstone Group on Charley Rose program: "we have no healthcare budget. we have a perverse incentive healthcare system. we should think of the patient in an integrative way like the Mayo Clinic we pay 25-35% of Medicare budget on the last months of life. we need to reform the healthcare system....overprescribing and overoperating doesn't work." "we need spending caps,pay as you go tax reform so we save more....need progressive consumption tax cut entitlement programs....need bipartisan commission" "educate amd motivate the public.....ask people to give up something .....young people's future is threatened."
