I’m still waiting to find out why we’re really supposed to hate Chavez so much.

He said bad things about Bush.

The police are regulators. Don’t want police? The military is a regulator force. Don’t want a military?

Well put. What “economic conservatives” advocate is nothing more or less than pure anarchy in the economic sphere. As anarchy has never produced good results in any other sphere of human endeavor, there’s no reason whatsoever to believe that it’ll work in economics either.

All of their arguments to the contrary merely consist of the definition of moral evil dressed up to pass itself off as a political/economic philosophy.

But in 1999 the regulations separating various financial institutions passed and guess what in about 15-20 years we have had a major banking collapse. The only major banking hiccup during that time was the Savings and loan Crisis in the 80s and that was brought about by….? You guessed it, deregulation! Regulations provide stability in a sector that is critical to the US economy so it must remain stable.

Also American business has proven that if no one watches them they will do whatever they can to produce the highest profit. They will lie to us, cheat us, steal money from us, poison us, put our lives in danger, wreck the environment, destroy towns and even kill those that stand in their way. If you don’t believe that then you must not know your history.

Yep, that’s of course if you think that Chaves is not a dictator, but then again only a dictator would want to throw out term limits that were ALREADY in place.

The Venezuelan legislature repealed the term limits law. Chavez was re-elected. If he were a dictator, he would have repealed elections. That’s what a dictator is.

I’m still waiting to find out why we’re really supposed to hate Chavez so much.

The system is not perfect. We do need regulations but the basic model works.

No, the basic model of health care is horrifically failing us and taking the entire economy with it.

Tracy__5 Says:

Cap and trade will not work.

Not relevant to health care (did you just lose your mind and start ranting at random?) but I agree. There should be a direct carbon tax, with no free cap or trading.

I should have mentioned nationalized health insurance as to what I was referring to….a rather large chunk of the national economy.

As it is, all businesses are burdened with the employer-provided system. The overhead is spiraling out of their ability to control it, depressing small business growth and pitting large businesses against their own unions.

Why do you hate American business so much?

Tracy__5 Says:

“But, they are for regulation…of public health insurance.”

No the are for running, i.e. controlling private health insurance.

your buds picked quite a racket profiting beyond your wildest dreams on sickness that is guaranteed to strike everyone. it will be fixed or the economy will collapse. current health insurance system is absolutely tyranny.

your shortsightedness is scary.

This goes so far as to be a stereotype of the repubs.

And these asstalking repugs get all kind of breaks while they siphons off the blood and sweat from others.

timmeth I don’t want to live in your world.

And just who represents the “competition” against Medicare and Medicaid?

The consumers will benefit therefore making the unhealthy healthcare system compete for it’s patients, not the other way around.

Ain’t nobody making you have healthcare. Hunt for your care while you are sick or dying. OK? That plan seems right for ya.

Strange how repugs love regulation when it comes to governing citizens and hate regulations when it comes to big businesses.

Actually admitted that his motto is do away with regulation and have survival of the fittest. Who cares about those who are hurt.

This goes so far as to be a stereotype of the repubs.

“Bush just had him kidnapped and held until he recanted”

Bush kidnapped Chaves? Do post a link to this breaking story.

Oh, I guess that never happened in alternate reality. It was just a real world event. You wouldn’t know anything about it.
