Patriot_Nikhil Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 @proponents of small government and more privatisation: would you rather have private police and private firemen as well ? Small government != no government...
varun Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Small government != no government... So in which areas should government be present ?
Patriot_Nikhil Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 So in which areas should government be present ? Seriously, am i expected to list all the areas that a govt should function?! Broadly, secure the country, follow the constitution and respect the authority of the state government...

Broadly, secure the country, follow the constitution and respect the authority of the state government... Didn't mean to offend you, just getting an idea of what you think the role of government is.
Patriot_Nikhil Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Didn't mean to offend you' date=' just getting an idea of what you think the role of government is.[/quote'] No no, no offense taken. I am glad that you are being civil though you may disagree with me... Those three areas that i mentioned above are what i believe the role of the federal govt should be limited to...
Patriot_Nikhil Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Both the MA health care reform bill and Obamacare promise the following: 1. Coverage for all 2. Affordability for residents 3. Affordability for the state Care to know how the MA healthcare has performed?! 1. 5 years after being introduced in 2006, the number of uninsured in MA is estimated at 200,000 2. For individuals making $31,213, the cheapest plan can cost $9,872 in premiums and out-of-pocket payments. Whats worse, the low-income residents, previously eligible for free care, have insurance policies requiring unaffordable co-payments for office visits and medications. 3. State spending on healthcare in 2007 - $630 million; State spending on healthcare in 2009 - $1.3 billion Seriously, who won?! The people? The Govt?
yoda Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 It is futile arguing with the right. They are as brain washed as they come. Fox News is fair and balanced. GWB is their pride. Dick Cheney is their symbol of honesty. Sara Palin is their benchmark for brilliance. But let's cut them some slack. Ann Coulter is what they read. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly is what they watch. Can you expect anything but hatred from them?

Is that an ICF translation of "Sorry I cant respond to your points, so ill call u a coo coo"?! :hysterical: Seriously, if you believe that everyone in the right spews hatred, can you point out one post of mine with a tinge of hatred?! You call all conservatives brain washed, say its futile to talk to them and then you say they spew the hatred?! Hmm... Pls do care to tell me what good has come of the MA healthcare reform...
