Gee, I don't know if I should join the party at Tehran, San Fran, Tijuana or IRS bureaucrat headquarters. Someday you'll be able to tell your grandkids that America was once a special place that people would actually dig tunnels to enter. Back before it became just one of many random socialist welfare states in the UN (NWO Headquarters). Back when people had freedom to do non-pc things like smoke in public, insist on English only, pay for the best (non-rationed) health care if they want or make so called anti-feminist porn with consenting adults. We already give free health care to America's poor. Once we start giving it to the middle class, it's over. You can never undue a government entitlement ("what, don't you care about the children?!"). This has always been the bait for socialism, which takes over economies and ways of life. American citizens who have done this to the delight of America haters abroad and at the UN, I hope you're satisfied. You and your children should get cancer. Go to hell!

Vox populi, vox Dei. America survived Carter, she'll survive Obama. Rich people who donated money to Obama won't allow him to go to far.

It IS different, and we will be lucky if we survive it. There will be so much damage done in the next 4 years that it will take 20 years to undo it all, if indeed it can be undone. At the end of this 4 years people will be tossing the great messiah out on his ear after watching their country turn to ashes. Carter was just a preface to the mess this clothless emperor is going to perpetrate. I hope everyone enjoys "the great experiment"

Sounds like a libertarian rant to me. You are on your own, anything goes.
The world wants us to prosper, it is a global economy. The world wants us to use our power in responsible ways. The world wants us to once again be the shining city on the hill. The small groups of true America haters don't care who runs our Government, they hate us any way, because we are different from them.
You are free to smoke in your own space, watch pron, and pay for the best in health care. You are also free to be as entrapenureal as you wish, as long as you follow basic rules (safety, employment rules, etc.) and contribute your fair share to the common good.
It is time for this generation to become responsible, our parents and grand parents built up an amazing infrastructure that has allowed this free enterprise system to thrive, we must keep it in good repair. Government funded research has given us medical breakthroughs that have saved my life and the lives of many others, it is now our responsibility to make this available without crippling the small business owners and huge auto makers. We can do this while keeping it in the private sector, but some rules definitely need to change. People should not be shackled to their oar because of health insurance rules.
Any decent society has a responsibility to care for the least of their number. This is even more important when the basic framework is economic competition, or capitalism. I am fortunate, I can compete in the job market and thrive. But there must be a social safety net for those who, for various reasons, cannot compete. The real challenge is to get to these populations in early childhood, and try to give them the tools to compete.
We all had help from somewhere. My father, my Army benefits, my employer giving me a second chance. All these "investments" paid off, now I am productive and a positive part of society. I don't mind giving back, helping to lift others, doing my fair share.
It is a call for all Americans to pull together, to level the playing field so those who work, gain, and those who have a great deal of capital to invest, are required to do so within rules that protect the basic financial structure. It is time for the corporations that profit from the infrastructure to do their fair share to maintain it.
Please dispose of the knee-jerk ideological reactions, shutting out the ideas of others. This new day in America will include conversations with fiscal and social conservatives, people who view freedom in a different way, folks like yourself if you will open up to the dialog.
Again, work with it. We can all win here. We all love our country, our visions are not that far apart. We can get there.

I'm not an American and have no direct ties to the US. I've been in the US twice for a total of 35-40 days. There's a lot to like in the US and a lot to, uhm, unlike.
Las Vegas was a great experience; you are blessed with a variety of landscapes that most countries can only dream of. There are a whole lot of friendly, decent, nice people willing to help you with whatever you want. (It's their job, but nonetheless.)
Of course, Budweiser sucks (rice in beer?!?), Wendy is crap and speed limits on a deserted highway in the middle of the night don't make sense. I'm not keen on big American cars either, but that's a very minor issue.
What I don't like is US political leadership (or lack thereof) and the form of society that has been developed by these politicians since Reagan's 2nd term. It's most probably a difference in background, history, upbringing and what not, but I'm appalled by what some US citizens call a 'health care system' and other things that show an absolute lack of solidarity. But that's limited to your own country, so it's none of my business.
Without going into details, I'll just state that 98% of my irritation/anger regarding the US is caused by its foreign policy.
Trust me, the US is very, very far from being or becoming a socialist welfare state. So, no need to hate!

Just give King Barack a little time. We'll be the most PC, Green, Socialist Welfare state on the planet. Our economy will be in ruins, the middle class will be wiped out, unemployment will be at 30% or more..and we will NEVER be a major player on the world state again. In a couple of years you will hear a stunning thud as the entire populace faints with the realization that they have put into motion the complete destruction of the US..and they..the sheeple did it to themselves. There will be nothing for those of us who knew better than to vote for this flash-in-the-pan to gloat over, because there will simply be nothing left. I hope the sheeple enjoy the next couple years.

Fuck that, Mathis is a piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimp.
Haha I gotta laugh at the shit I read coming from the U.S. these days. Half the people are falling at the feet of a guy who hasn't done anything as president yet and the other half are acting like America is going to turn into the USSR tomorrow. Jeez...
While I've found this Obama fella quite charming and whatnot, he is a politician; no more no less. The states will pretty much be at the same place it is now in 4 years: You'll still be bombing people and homos still won't be allowed to marry. If he turns America around in the slightest, that'll be swell. Regardless, I wish you assholes the best. I really do....

PS. The only medical system that might offer the same breadth and capabilities as found in the US is perhaps France.
Paying for services rendered is not the problem, believe me. I'm not that cheap. I know health care costs money and I'm more than willing to pay my share.
What I find lacking in (for example) the US system is solidarity. It was and still is hard to imagine that someone is sick and can't get treatment, because he/she has not enough money. That's where my main problem is, not with the payment of things.
JRV, how did you arrive at your PS about the French medical system?

We have great healthcare for the poor. It's called Medicaid, better yet known as welfare. They get better health bennies than those who work and pay taxes and have to contribute to their own health care bennies. We..the taxpayers give the poor gold-card healthcare. Just ask any hospital nurse who gets the best bennies..it's the so-called poor who live high on US tax dollars. They are the most arrogant and difficult of all hospital patients.

freestylah: Peple can live decades without access to any kind of professional health care, but won't survive more then a few days without food. Now last time I was in the Netherlands I was expected to pay for my food myself! Do you find solidarity lacking in this system? Do you honestly believe it would be better if the state just took say 100 euros every month from every citizen (more from the rich of course) and then redistribute food rations? That's basically how most European nationalized health care system work.

What we need are free minor emergency clinics in poorer areas. Staff them with interns and osteopaths trying to repay student loans. This would take a major burden off of the emergency rooms. Then limit law suits and the amounts that can be won (with a lawyer in the white house, yeah right) this will drive malpractice insurance down. If we were to take these two steps I doubt we would need to nationalize health care.

I think the cost of malpractice insurance is the big weight around the health care systems neck. The health care system is like a real organism in many ways, for it to really prosper there needs to be an absence of parasites. In this case lawyers and insurers.

Dunno what all the resistance is to 'socialized' medicine; maybe because I grew up north of the border. I thank fuck we have it, though. I got great (and fast) treatment when I had cancer and I'm still breathing because of it(insert comeback here).
I know Michael Moore is a douche, but he made kind of an interesting point about how Americans don't pay private fees for police or Fire Dept. emergencies, as they are often a matter of life-and-death. He made the comparison with medical treatment. Maybe that's just naive.
60 minutes once did a story on a program that help pay the fees for medical students on the condition that they'd spend some time working in poor communities once they became doctors (sadly, it was an investigation of doctors who had skipped out on their end).....

As someone who studied economics at the graduate level, I was under the impression that the Keynesian model was discredited decades ago. I've never met an economist who actually advocated the Keynesian approach. I would be astonished that the Obama administration and congressional Democrats believe that growth will be restored to the economy simply by spending a trillion dollars. Of course, they really don't by into the idea. They have bigger fish to fry. They are seeking to nationalize the banking system and create a middle class that is entirely dependent on the government.

Keynesianism was discredited in some respects to economists specifically, but not to other types of social scientists (especially political scienctists and historians). It is still totally overrepresented at most elite schools like London School of E, Harvard etc. It will help justify all the bullshit Obama wants to do for political reasons.
I assume your graduate work was at Penn State. Have a phd?

This explanation doesn't relate to 'a medical system that offers the same breadth and capabilities'. You refer to medical inventions/enhancements.
I have no idea how the french system is organized and what the ratio is between public and private medical institutions.
"breadth" was meant to imply how many diseases can be treated, and how many different options are available for each. "Capabilities" was the wrong word - I meant to refer to how refined each procedure is.
The R&D tie is that R&D tends increases the number of procedures or refine the ones that exist. I'm assuming that the results tend to be available locally first, and that any insurance/socialized system will be hostile towards anything expensive if there is an alternative that is "good enough" in the eyes of the bureaucrats responsible for the budget.
My question regarding France isn't public/private per se but rather how they manage to encourage so much R&D in a (presumably) socialized medical system. You wouldn't expect to see that kind of R&D effort in the socialized medical systems, but it appears France has a way around that.
Quote:
I think the reason people go to the US and/or France has more to do with the enormous private health care system in the US and the ties France still holds with a lot of developing countries.
The US sees a lot of patients from Europe and Canada too, either for procedures not available at home or when the waiting list (rationing/budgeting) is too long.
Quote:

Yes, but the treatment, procedures used, etc, almost certainly weren't developed there. They just used the R&D results paid for elsewhere, and used drugs subsidized south of the border. You need a way to encourage R&D in a socialized system: Canada doesn't, though France apparently does.
Quote:
I know Michael Moore is a douche, but he made kind of an interesting point about how Americans don't pay private fees for police or Fire Dept. emergencies, as they are often a matter of life-and-death. He made the comparison with medical treatment.
As far as I know ambulance calls are billed throughout the US. I know that here it's about $500 per call. The big difference between hospitals and fire/police is cost: fire and police capabilities are cheap and the costs controllable, whereas medical system costs are far higher and cannot be controlled locally (by the people who fund fire/police)
(insurance pays that ambulance bill if you have it)
There has been talk in some states about charging for SAR services (search & rescue) though I don't know if it's been done or not. A SAR search triggered by a 406 beacon can be charged by law if it was a false alert but I don't think it's happened yet.

It wasn't so much discredited but replaced by the Milton Friedman "Shock Doctrine" approach of the Corporation being the be-all and end-all of economic thought, regardless of the thousands of unionists, leftists, middle-class, etc. being "disappeared*" (i.e. executed, jailed, exiled, newly-homeless, etc.).
Given the current economic meltdown (no more bubbles!), I would proffer that leaving so much power to multi-national corporations may not be such a great idea, and that it is a better alternative for a nation's people to manage important industries (e.g. energy, health care, banks, etc.) to ensure that part of the Constitution about the "Right of Happiness" is followed instead of given sarcastic lip service by Rupurt Murdoch's minions.
*-"Chilean court reenacts stadium execution of American journalist
By Bill Vann
17 May 2002
Gunshots rang out once again in Santiago’s National Stadium May 14, nearly 30 years after the Chilean sports facility was turned into a center of torture and execution by a US-backed military junta that overthrew the elected government of President Salvador Allende.
This time the bullets were blanks, fired by court officials reenacting the execution of Charles Horman, a US citizen who was put to death in the stadium after his arrest by the military on September 18, 1973, just seven days after the CIA-orchestrated military coup.
Horman was one of an estimated 10,000 workers, students, political activists and others rounded up by the military regime of General Augusto Pinochet and jammed into the soccer stadium to be beaten, tortured and gunned down."

It wasn't so much discredited but replaced by the Milton Friedman "Shock Doctrine" approach of the Corporation being the be-all and end-all of economic thought, regardless of the thousands of unionists, leftists, middle-class, etc. being "disappeared*" (i.e. executed, jailed, exiled, newly-homeless, etc.).
Gunker is trying to blame free market capitalism for socialism's failures. So typical.

Not only is he ignorant of economics, but also the Constitution. Tell me Gunker, exactly where is that Right to Happiness found in the U.S. Constitution?
By the way, the phrase, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is not found in the Constitution. It's found in the Declaration of Independence.
Guaranteed happiness and the pursuit of happiness are very different, anyway.

Yes, the intent is to provide 'equality of opportunity', not 'equality of outcomes' (which is socialist and must be maintained by threat of prison/force).

MediCAID IS welfare's medical component. MediCARE is the medical component of Social Security...you know, for the people who worked, and paid their taxes so the lazy could collect welfare and mediCAID.
So Medicare is the Madoff-type scheme?
That would be the one!!

It was only discredited in so much as it was misapplied. Keynesian deficit spending is the nuclear option to be used only when a sudden contraction in the money supply occurs, and threatens to cause a deflationary spiral.
Good points. I'm finding myself cringing more often lately when I hear people talking about how great they think it is that certain things have gotten so "cheap" lately (due to the deflation we're already experiencing), and that it's supposed to be good news for all. Christ on a bike.
My mind always flashes to pictures of Indonesian coastline in the moments before their typhoon, where the tide had abruptly swept out and revealed bare wet sand all the way to the horizon - like a giant bath tub that had suddenly drained - and some people took it as their cue to run out and collect the flopping fish off the sand "can you believe all these fucking fish?!", wholly unaware the tide was mere moments from returning to re-occupy it's space, and with a vengeance.

Good point, Ivor. The problem is that during our last period of deep deflation, the government applied the model and failed to produce anything close to a recovery. Average money supply (M1 &M2) in the 30s was twice as high as money supply in the 20s, yet that money did not find its way into credit markets or private investment. In 1939, FDR's Treasury Sec. even said that spending money had not worked and he had no idea what to do next. Perhaps he didn't have any ideas, but the Axis did.

Did you ever meet an economist who predicted the meltdown? No, because the dumb fuckers have never gotten anything right. It's called the dismal science for a reason.

Coakley loses! Happy 1 year anniversary Odumba!
He got elected by running as a tax cutter (lol- talk about audacity)) and falsely portrayed himself as a moderate. As Saul Alinsky said, adopt the language of your enemy.
Oh well, now people know the real him. He hid his true self from the country's dummies pretty well for someone raised by his commie grandparents to hate America.
