Socialized Medicine

We can't afford it.  Some people like Michael Moore say that we should just divert funding for the war toward Socialized Medicine, but the fact of the matter is is that we can't afford the war either.  We are already borrowing money to finance a lot of the dumb programs already in place.  Government spending is out of control, and we need to exercise budget restraint now, not consider new areas to increase spending.

This ain't rhetoric 101.

But I have a grand idea. Let's not just throw out our grand ideas about socialism/capitalism/socio-capitalism/socio-communism/ad absurdum. Why not go out and do some research, look shit up in reliable sources of information (not teh internets)(unless it's from a respectable souce)(which means you can't reference Congress.) and figure out how much socialized medicine would cost in America. And then figure which part of the budget is going to get slashed. God forbid we lose the Department of Education. Or worse, how much the taxes will be to pay for it.

Now with that information, figure out how horrendous or wonderful it will be. I don't want your opinions.

If I wanted child-like rants and tantrums, I'd go to myspace.
