Let me begin that I will reserve the right to respond to what and whom I wish, when I wish-lol. so, please no demands. And I repeat,, how is it all other western democracies can afford universal health care and free or near free education e.g. The Education Index, published with the UN's Human Development Index in 2008, based on data from 2006, lists Denmark as 0.993, amongst the highest in the world, tied for first with Australia, Finland and New Zealand. [3] <<I have no objection to this idea provided the free education is: 1. Based on demonstrated ability. Passing of tests and maintenance of grades That isn't education that is like training a dog. 2. not provided for nonsense courses of no economic value Understanding Plato, existentialism and Zen is much more important than an economics course. 3. Part of a new system that eliminates the waste in the current system. There is little waste, that is a myth the right wing spins to cut education.
