RW, > Health care spending, and cap and trade, are intended to lower health and energy costs long term. Intentions are fine and dandy, but there is hardly an aspect of big government that wasn't founded on good intentions. I may come off as overly cynical, but I think such a perspective is necessary to counterbalance the notion that government is the best solution if given a chance. If we're going to increase the federal budget by leaps and bounds, I rather have most of that money going toward stuff like the CERN supercollider, genetics research, information security and privacy, and most importantly education. You know, stuff that actually moves us forward as a nation. "Share the wealth" programs, entitlements, and bailouts of corporations "too big to fail" just create more societal dependency on the public largesse. We just end up rewarding ourselves for falling behind in a global marketplace Tenchusatsu
