Re: Healthcare is bad!111

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly, regulated by the US department of energy.

I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility.

After that, I turned the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration.

I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food which has been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.

At the appropriate time as kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved car and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank.

On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the departmental of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, I drive back to my house which has not been burned down thanks to to the state and local building codes and the fire marshal's inspection, and it has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log onto the internet, which was developed by the US department of defence, and post on the free public access website 4chan about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

Can you make strict distinction between local ordinance and federal ordinance?

>This bill forces private healthcare on people,
That's my biggest objection. I don't want to have insurance, as it's a form of gambling. As a Christian and conservative, I feel that not only allowing, but forcing the American public to engage in gambling will lead to a severe moral decay and destroy the Christian values that founded this country.

Put that way it sounds completely logical, if health care can be separated from insurance, and become a institution like the postal service (used when needed to be used) it would be positive, not negative.

Price controls and shifting the burden of non-existent money
This will somehow shave $1 trillion off the deficit
People actually believe this

Also, lol at using the post office as an example of how great government is at driving the price down while being able to send out more mail for less (read: that's so incorrect as to be comical). Lysander Spooner would like a word with you.

This copypasta implies that regulation is responsible for the way things are.

Television would still be broadcast, 'safe' vehicles would still be made, and workplaces would still be 'safe' without laws regulating all of this.

How many people would work at an office building that has a fatality rate around 1:30?  Would you buy the cheap knock off car since they cut corners, or spend the extra 2k for a roll-cage?

Let the people chose, after all, it's only the dumb that will get hurt.

Cool a super-fancy list of things bankrupting America.  Let's have the government do more and make sure it happens faster!

Libertarianism is a mental illness.

Libertarianism is a mental illness is a liberal is the psychiatrist.
Liberalism is a mental illness is a libertarian is the psychiatrist.
I'm disgusted they both are pompous enough to use the same Latin root.

Well, liberalism used to mean what is now classical liberalism, which no modern day liberal practices anymore. Libertarianism was a new name developed to distinguish it from modern liberalism, as it is basically classical liberalism just with a different name.

Don't change these.
