Mindmeld, > In fact, I'll say it is an much better investment than spending the $1 trillion in Iraq that Bush and the GOP did.

The ten year cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will easily be dwarfed by the ten year cost of Obamacare. Let's not forget that we'll be out of Iraq and Afghanistan eventually, but universal health care will be forever. And it will cost us.

The Baby Boomers are also retiring starting this year. Social Security has now entered the red. Entitlement spending is exploding.

How much longer are you going to pretend that socialism is an "investment" instead of a drag on the productivity of society?
