[quote=SD Realtor]I don’t want to bang on health care. I guess I am just kind of awed by the reach of the govt. When does it stop and where does it end?[/quote]

I stopped worry about the reach of government once I learned that our attack… er, defense… budget is bigger than the rest of the world’s combined.

We send troops overseas against the will of our Constitution by naming our invasions “missions” rather than wars, enabling us to sidestep our checks and balances. Then we use our wonderful Executive branch dictatorship to strongarm other countries into undermining key peace treaties and environmental regulations, so our corporations can profit at the world’s expense.

But you’re right, those pesky social programs that help people are the big problem. As long as we focus on killing them, it’s ok.
