Just a quick reality check on how this admin. is intending to pay for national health care. Tobacco taxes did a 300% hike, and a proposed federal tax hike on wine/alcohol of 1500% (no typo!) on top of the state and sales taxes, show this admin. is out to destroy small business and punish smokers and drinkers for its agenda.
My answer: If alcohol and tobacco are such nuissance to society, and the health of its people, then Hussein Obama should just make them illegal, instead of collecting taxes with a hypocritical smile. Let's see who will be the next best industry to create that type of revenue for the fed. Or maybe there will be offshore donations from the same people that contributed to the Obama campaign to offset the losses!?!
I for one will be jobless, not paying taxes and enjoying the wonderful health and wellfare system that is being created. I wonder how many of me the gov will be able to handle??
Good times are coming.... hopefully in 2012
Heck, maybe we can get back to those great Bush/Cheney times, like war, recession, deregulation, etc.
That would be great!
More torture might also help.

are there canadians who actually think like that? jeez, howzat socialized medicine workin' out for ya? you run your country, we'll run ours........
It works quite well in those provinces who actually understand it.
Yes there are waits for elective surgery.
No one is denied health care benefits.
Nationwide our health care costs are lower that those in the US.
From personal experience, emergencies that might be cardio or neural are handled very quickly.
BTW - our regulated banking system also works well - not one failure.

Sorry, but I can't share your enthusiasm about those days either....
Here's a new thread: Who was the last competent US President?
It would certainly induce a lot of thinking, but propably wouldn't get any replies....
no, some things in my opinion weren't done correctly in the previous administration. when you go to war, you do your damnedest to defeat your enemy. they merely put them in time out. yes, innocent people die in war, but that's the way it goes. torture the enemy? if they have information we need, do what ever it takes to get it out of them. needles dipped in pigs blood would suffice. just the threat of sliding one of those under their fingernails will gett'em talking pretty quick. i seriously don't think issuing them a subpoena, and putting them on the stand will do much. liberals are weak, silly people at best. we'll see how long the people put up with this joke of an administration........

I am assuming that you would accept the treatment of US soldiers captured during a war.
You government did not and tried German and Japanese soldiers who used similar tactics.
The evidence on this is contrary to your opinion.
