re: man was never meant to fly

Tom Brosz — 7/28/2004 7:24:04 PM (archived)

I gave my reasons, and showed, among other things, the universally-consistent past history of entitlements to back them up. You can argue with these if you like.

I have no argument with optimism, but when someone who thinks humans can fly keeps jumping off a bridge with feathers glued to his arms, we aren't talking "optimism" any more.

Nationalizing health care is not going to work for more than a few years before the system collapses. This is no more difficult to predict than that someone getting ready to pour a quart of gasoline on a lit grill to get the coals hot is going to regret it.

Remember, we've been through this before. Please go back and look up the debates over Medicare. Look at the reasons and numbers given by supporters, and those cited by opponents. Who was right?
