Last time I checked roads were built with DMV fees and gasoline taxes. If I am wrong then I’m wrong. But that is the way it should be…not an argument to justify more control by a very incompetent government.Let people decide for themselves to be healthy or unhealthy.
Whoever said your indoctrinated is right. You refuse to say whether or not you think those in Congress are competent.
And if you do acknowledge that they are incompetent then you are outright insane since you want them to handle your health care.[/quote]
I believe the interstate highway system was built by the U.S. government. The idea is that interstate highways benefit the country as a whole and make it stronger. But if you left it up to each state or county to build their portion of the highway, no one would want to pay for it.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that congress will run a public option with supreme competence. But remember that the goal of the public option is to pay for your medical expenses when you are sick. The goal of a private insurance company is to not pay for your expenses. So the public option might be incompetent at trying to pay you. But private companies are very competent at not paying you. Who would you trust more?

Wars are temporary and a excellent example of the kind of thing that should go on the “credit card” since they can not be budgeted. The health care reform act is a LONG term expense that many people agree will cost the country much more than congress is saying. I can see the memo now. “Dear world, please do not attack us. We have decided to spend our money on health care instead of wars. Sincerely, USA”[/quote]
I’d like to point out how stupid your analysis is. Wars are not temporary expenses. We still have about 100,000 troops in Japan and Europe. We’re still paying for a war we fought over 50 years ago. And when soldiers come home, you still have to pay their medical expenses. Wars are definitely a long term expense that will cost the country much more than congress was saying. “Dear world, please do not attack us. But even if you don’t attack us, we might decide to blow a trillion dollars on bombing you anyway. But don’t worry. This is the kind of trillion dollars that is okay to put on a credit card; not the bad kind.”

ParticipantThe US has had a number of real estate bubbles throughout its history. But until this century, all the real estate bubbles were local. This was the first time that a real estate bubble went national.
I would highly recommend reading the latest edition of “Irrational Exhuberance”, by Robert Shiller. The book does a great job of analyzing speculative bubbles and it contains a lot of info about the history of real estate in the US.

ParticipantDefinitely issue the credit card dispute. That’s about the only way you’ll get some money back. Plus, its pretty simple to do and fairly hassle free.
Go to the Sky Point Digital web site and print the $929 ad. You’ll need to send a copy of it to your credit card company later on. Good luck.
