May Our Children Show Us Mercy


Yes, indeed... considering that some refuse to cut defense spending and others refuse to entertain entitlement reform and others who support endless "wars" and others who desire to send deficit spending through the roof for health care "reform," while all we want is more spending for US so we can pass a massive deficit on to THEM... our children will need to show us mercy since they are now footing the bill for the current generations and there may very well be nothing left for them when they retire. Shame on US and may THEY show us mercy.

I register dissent.

I want working class people to be able to be treated for cancer without having to declare bankruptcy.

I'm not the least bit interested in actively trying to screw the next generation.

I have no party-political investment in how the healthcare system is fixed. But it does actually make me incensed that the US doesn't seem to understand how broken the system is. It's like watching a rape and declaring that the couple are on their honeymoon.

Pam,

I don't disagree, but what we currently have in place will not solve the problem. And no one wants to purposely wreak havoc with the next generation, but that is in fact what is going to happen if both sides don't stop the nonsense.

I agree completely.

With respect to healthcare we need to stop believing that capitalism is more important than the health of individuals in our society. (I expect people will read into that all sorts of things I don't mean, but I'm too tired at the moment to explain.)

It seems to me like there has been nothing but on-going political campaigning since the last presidential election. Our elected officials need to start being elected officials and stop being politicians.
