Why are we NOT worried about the cost of wars but worry about the

[jasi2006]

cost of healthcare? Money to kill but no money to heal. It's insane. Let's stop ALL government subsidies and then see who begins to bitch and cry. It won't be the poor and working class as much as the wealthy corporate farm owners, the media, the wealthy privileged, the academicians, the military industrial complex, and the energy gurus.

1. 'guru'?

A guru "is one who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom and authority".

2. because its all a propaganda war and its all about big big business and profits.

there is big profit in a war.
there is big profit in the healthcare status quo.

3. From the beginning, our country has valued Economic Freedom

of the Individual over Equality. When the Founders were deciding
the type of country we should be; they looked seriously at the
the Social Democracy in France. Finally, we became a Republic
in which Economic Freedom of the Individual was of higher value
than Equality.

The Foreign Minister of France once described it thus;
Both America and France believe in Economic Freedom and Equality.

France tilts the scale in favor of equality while America tilts
the scale in favor of Individual Freedom economically.

4. Because "we" don't want the rest of the world to think "we" are gay.

Taking care of people is "feminine".
Killing people is "masculine".

Sadly enough, I think thats a big part of it.

5. You're gay? Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

Don't forget to pick up your toast oven on the way over to indoctrination.

6. We are leaving Iraq, didn't you hear?

The costs of war will diminish substantially once we withdraw completely. Obama set a goal of a year and a half if I'm not mistaken.

7. Because if we don't defend ourselves many of us will die. Whereas with healthcare . . . .
