Instead of buying medical insurance, go buy a new car or a new house, or go on a cruise. The nanny state is here to stay. The majority will continue to vote for the politicians that promise to do everything for them and take care of them. Clinton won by "feeling our pain." And now that a large portion of the people pay no income tax, why wouldn't they vote for more benefits that they don't have to pay for?
I hate to say it, but freedom without responsibility will not succeed. So we will continue to lose the freedom of choice concerning many things because the government will be taking over that responsibility. If the people that don't know what the Constitution says or care even if they do, can outvote those that do, I would say we are on the downhill side of the great country we once had.
Where'd you come from?
A voice of reason, here? :wink:
The liberals have always worked towards socialism & now many people believe it's their right for you to pay their doctor bills, pay for their child care, even make sure that they have a home in an upscale neighborhood at your expense, (subsadized housing) We can't expect people to work for years to attain a comfortable life. The gov't (with taxpayers $$) must provide care from the cradle to the grave....or so the liberals believe.
You're right though, the cancer has grown out of control now all we can do is feed it.
LSM, how do you determine what a liberal's expectations might be?
