Of course you should, and I don't think labour did a good job with finances from 2003 to the start of the crisis either but their management of...
Analysis by reasonable economists doesn't lead to questioning as to whether we'd be better off without the stimulus. We better off because of...
Obviously money being well spent is better than money not being well spent- but money being spent on stuff means that the people who get the money...
I certainly hope we end up with single payer, it's just better and cheaper, international comparisons show us this, the fact the medicare is more...
Just a quick note, as I forgot to say at the end of my last post. I'm sure you think you understand stuff and you think this is a great idea but...
Indeed. The good thing about this is, every major republican has railed against obamacare. Now the public might not have quite gotten over the...
Again, just look at the international comparison. Countries with single payer have much cheaper healthcare at equal or better outcomes. The...
Medicare is going bankrupt because it's revenue increases more slowly than it's costs. However it's costs grow much more slowly than that of the...
