Yes to Socialized Economy, no to socialized medicine, If it helps the banks its Ok to compromise your philosophy, If it helps main street, well then the free market gets in the way. Dope Stupid brain!

Think of it as a lawsuit settlement, Azmat. Congress made banks set aside free-market rules. Now the country pays a penalty to keep vital institutions from going under as a result. Sounds fair, doesn't it?
Carter and Clinton should have had the balls to institute the social engineering directly and let the taxpayers decide whether to give them another term or send them home. Cowards always make their charitable contributions from someone else's wallet.

Azmat is proof that Obama's words are meaningless. Why would he support someone who would take unilateral, deadly action against Pakistan? He wouldn't.

And now that you are in Canada, how's that socialized medicine working out? Too early to tell?

I'll end with some words that are sure to become Azmat's favorites--

"But you say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak? What strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscles. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think. Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is made- before it can be looted or mooched – made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced. " Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged--as 'spoken' by the character of Francisco d'Anconia.

The countries vital institution's in case you have been asleep have gotten where they are because of the crisis in health care. And just like you cannot see human resources and their health as vital to health of the economy, so is the case with many American institutions. Secondly, why would I care about anyone taking action against Taliban's as if that is not being done already?
There are many ways to misinterpret Rand, and clearly Darrell her work is not for you. I have one for you as well. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it." Now take some responsibility for the evil you create.

So it was all caused by a crisis in health care? I did not know that. You could have chosen Cuba instead of Canada and had a mouthful of cement fillings by now.

I'll leave the misinterpretation to you.

I did not create you. I give you no sanction. Diabolus enim et alii dæmones a Deo quidem naturâ creati sunt boni, sed ipsi per se facti sunt mali.

"Devil and the other demons are spiritual or angelic creatures created by God in a state of innocence, and that they became evil by their own act" So it is by your actions that you become evil Darrell. And I thought that Angels did not have the power to act on their own.
