Hi Scott,

I will try to give you an intelligent answer.
1) I am sick and tired of taxpayers paying everything for all those who feel like they don't need to pay for anything. I realise that part of every tax dollar we pay now goes to cover the un/underinsured. Part of every dollar we pay in copays goes to cover the same. Every bill submitted to the insurance companies and medicaid/medicare is padded to help cover the cost of treating them. Understand please; I am not against helping the truly needy. I am against paying for people who can, but will not work. I am against paying for people who continue to have children knowing they can't pay for any part of their care just to get the free benefits the governmentt gives for having them. I am against paying for people who work under the table to avoid paying taxes yet have no problem receiving benefits from my tax dollar. I am against paying for all the illegal immigrants.
2)I truly believe we can fix the problems we have now by fixing the tort laws, cutting down on medicaid and medicare fraud, and exporting all the illegal immigrants.
3)I really don't want our federal debt to skyrocket any higher. Between the bank bailouts, and the stimulus, our great grandchildren will still be paying this off now. No one seems to realise that for every dollar that is spent, tax dollars have to be paid to support it. Actually, by the time they figure in the interest, that one dollar being spent today will be turned into many before it is all paid back. If anyone can show me where we are getting the money to pay for this I am perfectly willing to listen.
4)As far as the government doing anything right, look at all the money that has been stolen from our Social Security to pay for things it was never designed to pay, a lot of it in "Loans" never intended to be paid back. Look at Welfare. Look at how well they have run Medicaid/Medicare. Look at the VA and how it's hospitals are run. Look at the highway department with all the bridges they have been told are getting ready to fall down and all the stimulus money that is not being spent on them. Look at our borders. Look at all the business that has been run out of our country. Look at the unemployment rate...

Kevin,
Please do me a favor, look back at my posts and let me know where I have put anyone here down, called any names, or acted in anything less than good faith.
