Surprise quote of the day - -- "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition. They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations." -- Sen. Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978. blog.american.com Sadly, he only seemed to apply this logic to transportation, not to education or health care. thelibertypapers.org h/t TF

No, my speakers been on the fritz. I haven't heard it. Did he say how much of his family fortune he'd spent on health care for people being ruined by catastrophic illnesses? BTW I had a cousin die of pancreatic cancer last year. Not employed, no insurance. He wasn't denied healthcare - he petitioned his doctors and hospital, provided copies of tax returns showing little income, and they cut their rates. Did him little good health wise as he died anyway.
