It's your Dime

What, the 5 billion a month in Iraq?

You don't think that means anything?

So, what's your point? I'm responding to dys' query on "it's your dime."

I don't know all the criteria, but our local hospital invited my former philosophy instructor to join the committee. She declined, by the way.

It should by now be obvious that I hate Terri Schiavo and hope she has a horrific painful death because I am a liberal.

What exactly do you believe that money is being spent on?

Who cares? That's a different topic.

Much of it goes directly into the pockets of thieves and crooks who we contract out, i.e., Halliburton and a galaxy of corrupt sub-contractors.

Some of it goes to pay and support the troops.

There's no telling where the rest of it goes; what do YOU believe the money is being spent on?

And, it doesn't even matter what it is being spent on; it surely isn't meaningless...

In relation to what C.I. is suggesting, it is.

Quote, "In relation to what C.I. is suggesting, it is." In relationship to what Americans are sacrificing, it is "meaningless," but it's only one example of how our government sets the wrong priority for our tax dollars.

Well, I guess we simply disagree. Is that still possible? Amicable disagreement?

YOu can call it anything you wish; that's your right.

I am disappointed that you can only think of the here and now instead of the future and the stability of the middle east and how that will result in a safer, saner future. That's what we are doing. We are providing for the future by offering an alternative to the usual in the middle east.

I'm sorry you are blind to that and care only for yourself.

Actually, how the ME turns out will depend on the people of the ME; not the people sitting in the white house. Your assumption about the future of ME is a blind, myopic, view of people who disagrees with you. As for "I'm sorry you..." does not deserve a response from me.

Perhaps what we need instead are doctors who aren't quite as qualified as they should be. Perhaps require less education and training. That way they wouldn't charge as much and people would be able to afford healthcare. It wouldn't be great healthcare, but who really cares, right? As long as it's free I mean.

An obvious stab at socialized medicine in Canada. Then, according to you McGentrix, most Canadian doctors are less educated, less trained, and don't offer good healthcare? And that nobody cares?

My, you know so much. Tell us more...

Wow! That even took me by surprise! I was talking about Canada? I'd like to know how you deduced that since I didn't even know I was writing about Canada.

Socialized medicine is what you eluded to, Canada was my example. Having trouble reading today?

If you weren't referring to socialized medicine, then what were you referring to, McGentrix?

If it wasn't for all the domestic issues like unions and welfare and medicaid...I wouldn't even be a democrat so I guess there is no need to say where I stand on the issue of the health care in the US.

On my husband's insurance that he gets from his work which is blue cross blue sheild we don't always get to choose the best health care or where want to go either unless we want to pay for it all out of our own pockets. It's a literal fight to get the insurance to pay for specialist and things.

The way I see it is coming down to only the very rich being able to get quality health care and the rest of us haggling or doing without completely.

revel, Did you know that illegal immigrants have better health care than people like you? And it doesn't cost them a dime.

I was referring to getting what you pay for. If all we want is cheap medical care, that's what we'll get. Today we get the best and the brightest because it's a lucrative field. It's still prestigious to be a doctor in America.

Look at all the things the government has regulated and weigh the results. Do you really want them meddling with healthcare?
