solarhydrocan's Journalwhy is everyone here so eager to bail out bankers and feed the war machine?
None of us here benefit from the policies that caused the US to go into debt in the first place.
It's bailing out the banks (80 Billion /month) and the adventures in the Middle East:
Here's where one and a half trillion has gone:

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare — the system favored by most Americans — continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform.

We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program.

If a republican had done that more people here would have remembered
and been outraged
It's not about "hating Obama". Obama was against Obamacare when he was running
I like Obama. I supported him over Hillary ONLY because of his opposition to mandates. He changed his mind, not me.
I will not be called a hater for opposing that which Obama himself opposed. And doing so indicates a lack of memory.
the US is a Constitutional Republic with Democratically elected reps
North Korea is a Democratic Republic

Can't begin a debate when words mean different things to different people.
In modern times, the common definition of a republic is a government which excludes a monarch. For example, at the first decade of 21st century, Nepal was declared a Federal democratic Republic after abolishing its 240 year old monarchy on the 28th of May, 2008. Currently, 135 of the world's 206 sovereign states use the word "republic" as part of their official names
What do schools actually teach these days?

If a McCain administration had passed a law requiring the purchase of insurance without the promised public option or single payer included that was enforced by the IRS ---- and that had deductibles so high most of the "insurance" would never be used--
Would everyone that supports it now support it then?
Senator Max Baucus Received More Campaign Money from Insurance Industry...(Democracy Now)
Senator Max Baucus Received More Campaign Money from Health and Insurance Industry Interests than Any Other Member of Congress.
Montana Senator Max Baucus, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, is the Senate’s point man on healthcare reform. A new article in the Montana Standard finds that Senator Baucus has received more campaign money from health and insurance industry interests than any other member of Congress. The article says, "In the past six years, nearly one-fourth of every dime raised by Baucus and his political-action committee has come from groups and individuals associated with drug companies, insurers, hospitals, medical-supply firms, health-service companies and other health professionals."

Brilliant. Very well said. + a million. I'm not alone!
Obama is excellent at persuasion
Both persuading himself and others
How many people here would support a law requiring the purchase of a crappy corporate product for their entire lives if passed by a McCain administration?
None is just a guess. In fact there would be marches on the Capitol.
