The Obama Shimmer & The Guvment
1. I wish Obama would just admit he was wrong about the Iraq surge. Just say, "I should've voted for it, because it was the right thing to do then, just as it was the right thing to do when this foolish war was started more than five years ago."
The shimmer is fading. Yes, he'll get my vote. No, he won't usher in an era of unadulterated prosperity and fairness.
2. Also, why are we certain that Government-Controlled Universal Healthcare won't be another bureaucratic clusterfuck, as have been other Government-Controlled National Programs, such as Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and FEMA and etc.?
I'm all for universal healthcare. I think it's absurd that people die because they're poor or uninformed. But I can't help but think that ramping up such an incredibly large system is going to lead to what most government-run programs do: corruption, embezzlement, and outright theft of the American taxpayer.
