My bit of the NHS is damn near perfect. But then I'm not allowed near sick people, which is probably a good thing.
"Pay a whole lot for health insurance and still get fucked when something serious happens" won't make much sense to us, no.
I'd stay as far away from sick people as I could if I were you. No use tempting fate, no use at all! :Y
>>Have I ever given the impression that I'm only looking out for me?
Yes, when you said you were American. (giggle)
Serious question though - how do you marry the idea of wanting Small Government with also wanting a Government to get involved and sort shit out?
I don't want the government involved to sort shit out. The only shit they need to sort is the fucking messes they create in the first place.
*the previous government.
You said up there^^^^
>>I have no idea why you, and the rest of the world think he's[Obama] doing such a good job.
So clearly you think he's doing a bad job. What is he doing badly, and what do you WANT him to do?
That doesn't necessarily mean Ken thinks he's doing a bad job, just not as good a job as 'the rest of the world' thinks.
He's done plenty of bad stuff, and not done much if any of the good stuff he promised, but he is not doing his level best to summon End Times, like the Repugs want. For most of humanity, that's good enough.
