Madville Trusts the Government
How often do you trust your life to someone who constantly takes money from you and gives you the least amount back as possible? Well, the Professor is giving John Thune ‘the business’ for suggesting you shouldn’t trust government. Then he goes on a ‘it’s Bushs’ fault’ rant making his opinion OK. I didn’t know that’s how debates were conducted, if you can’t win play the “W” card and all other arguments are moot.
Most people don’t trust anyone they don’t know personally. But there has been a rash of trust the ‘acceptable groups’ just because they are popular. Trust should be earned. Being that Obama hasn’t spent much time in Washington or really in government how are we to trust him. Then add the legislation being passed and the picks the President has gone through for his cabinet. We actually shouldn’t trust him or the congress.
What secret information does the Professor have, that we should trust this Administration or this Congress? I didn’t hear that they stopped working on Health Care Reform, but I haven’t heard any news on the progress of it!
Trust Government??? Who’s the nut, Professor?

lol, well, I guess you and the Professor have the same thing in common. You both rant and rave. He plays the W Card and you play the Obama Card. Frankly, I wish you would both shut-up. lol

If you can’t trust Government, trust Capitalism. Trust the Enrons in the economy, trust the bankers, trust business to do the right thing. Trust the economic system to not get the US into hawk to the Chinese. Trust GM to make huge vehicles that Americans want and assure the US has an auto industry. Let them all take the jobs outside the US for the extra dollar in profit. No need for government to meddle in the economy.
To heck with the police, hire Blackwater killers instead. Put out for lowest bid for firefighting or maybe let California burn. Who needs the coast guard, the armed services, public schools, medicare, medicaid or any of it, they are all government run and we should all be against it. Or, do you think government can run an insurance entity okay. Just maybe?
Nah, you’re right. We TRUST that our private, for profit insurance company will save us if the need arises. And we don’t need no government regulations saying our insurance company can’t bounce us from coverage if we get sick. We are individuals who take responsibility for ourselves and should not be a drag on insurers profits. You go Repubs!

(I had a hard time approving these posters, because I wasn’t sure I could track them down and see if they really had a point of view)
Mac, Obama isn’t the problem. It’s those who voted for everything that he’s giving us! Obama was going to do just what he’s doing, now.
Popalot, Capitalism isn’t trusting in business’. It’s trusting that the public will refuse business practices they don’t approve of!
Government gets their hands in the process - then a regulation designed to bring in more ‘revenue to the government’ causes the production cost of the item to be more than the item could be sold for, so it either has to stop being made or be sent somewhere else to be made.
If you have to give the government $5 for every tomato plant you have, it’s not worth raising tomatoes. So, you buy under-ripe tomatoes at the grocery store which have ecolli. Then it’s your fault for your kids being sick because you didn’t raise tomato plants. But we don’t care that the government shouldn’t be taxing ‘growing tomato plants.’
BTW, We had firefighters, keepers of the peace, education and doctors before we had a government! Americans take care of Americans no matter who they are. The US Government is telling us who you can take care of and who’s left out.

Well, if the President is “not the problem,” as you now claim, can you please shut-up about him, now?

Obama is what happens when people stop trying. He’s the symptom of the problem.
Mac, It sounds like Obama is a sore spot for you! What could possibly be bad about voting for a President based on the color of his skin - or - so he/she could do something for you, that should be your job?
September 3rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
he’s not a sore subject with me at all. I like what the President is doing. It takes courage to forge a new path and he is doing the best with what was left to him. As for “jobs,” you need to get one of those and stop complaining about Obama.
September 8th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Yeah, (broken record) it’s Bushs fault, it’s Bushs fault, it’s Bushs fault…
The ‘new path’ he’s forging is contrary to what we as Americans agreed upon. Freedom from government controll, freedom to speak our mind without persecution, freedom from taxation to the point of hurting our prosperity. I think we can all agree that Obama has done these things - Czars, ‘Fairness Doctrine”(I think he’s got a Czar for that, too), He passed a stimulous package at least equal to what was passed under Bush and is going for MORE.
You have been warned! Don’t complain to us when you finally figure it out.

So then should we put our trust in faceless health insurance companies who seem perfectly happy to bankrupt their customers?
September 10th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Where do you get your information, Haggs? It costs a lot of money to care for the critically ill, it costs less as the conditions are less severe. Do you think the severe patient pays more!?
Your information is based on propaganda. Insurance conditions could improve a lot; but no insurance company is set on bankrupting their paying customers!
September 10th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Oh and If you get your life saved is it so bad to be bankrupt, idiot!
September 10th, 2009 at 9:44 am
It also costs a lot of money to get the record profits that health insurance companies have been making lately. I’m sure they don’t want their paying customers to go bankrupt, but that’s what happens when they keep raising prices to make such a huge profit. A government insurance option, by comparison, would have no interest in making a profit.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Politicians don’t want money! lol At least insurance companies go out of business.
You are a hoot, Haggs!

“Government gets their hands in the process - then a regulation designed to bring in more ‘revenue to the government’ causes the production cost of the item to be more than the item could be sold for”
Regulatiions, yeah bad thing.
Facts Man, Facts. Why is Healthcare way less expensive in other counties that do have government involvemt? and if you say I have lousy care. I know the facts, I’m Canadian. Obama was great with the kids and great with the members. Your side looks pretty damn silly.
September 10th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Popalot, what is your point on reulations, you want goods to be made in China!? - awesome!
Not all Canadians need Health Care. I survived half of my life without it. When you need it, going to the government for approval, sometimes the wait ends in death. No wait with the current system! What a concept!
Your side looks ignorant and gullable.
