Reply #15: They need to have health care. I'm making a point that if you want something you'll find a way of [View All]

getting it.

Your the kind of person that will not think rationally. It's better to enjoy life with gadgets than taking care of your health?

I don't want to deny anybody anything. But there is a hierarchy of needs. The first level is food shelter and clothing. Once that is satisfied you move to the next level. Health care is right there with basic necessities yet people will pay $70 a month for cell phones to text their friends and $55 a month for cable TV and say they don't have $125 for health insurance. Priorities are out of whack.


This economy will begin to put us back where we should have been before the spending on credit bubble burst. I think we will begin to look at how our parents made decisions and begin to adopt some of them.

On edit:

You said "spending every waking hour working and improving themselves." I wonder how you think people improve their lot in life?

I was homeless in San Diego for a time. I came back and almost was homeless again. I'm doing better now because I learned that you have to work to improve yourself all the time. There is no guarantee that if you try something it will work but there is a guarantee that if you don't try things won't get better.
