Well, aside from certain ownership issues have2 corrected for you, you did manage to get something right in that mosh pit of a thought process:

It's because the way it's run in our country is fucked, it's not exactly "capitalism" that's the problem, it's the crony gangster corporate monopoly strangle hold that we have.



Watching a naive ideologue with no experience become president, all the while making grandiose promises about how he was gonna squash special interests and get real reform. Then, his center piece, health care reform, has sweet-ass back room deals for every involved industry and constituency with well-organized representation you can think of... There's too much power in lobbying. Simplifying the tax code, control costs in health care, I'm really starting to realize it's just not gonna happen till there's real campaign finance reform.

After Obama's failure in conquering special interests in health care reform, he damn well better say something about campaign finance reform in his upcoming state of the union. Otherwise, it's going to be way too obvious he's not willing to fight as much as he campaigned saying he would.

Oh, and the reason our military is spectacular isn't because govt is an efficient manager. It's because we spend ridiculous sums of money on it. Given your liberal bias, I can't imagine you don't have better examples of the rampant spending on the military than I do. Especially with the Afghan and Iraqi wars going on...
