STPR
After the recent shortages in Cuba and Venezuela, Obama has announced
an initiative to stockpile a vital commodity so as to be able to send stocks to areas experiencing shortages so as to prevent civil unrest. "The STPR will provide a cushion against any market bottom and in the end we will all appreciate this reserve" a whitehouse spokesman said. Our new Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve will be located in New Orleans. |

Cuba, a country that produces vast amounts of sugar actually has sugar shortages. They could process all their sugar cane waste into pulp to make toilet paper but of course there is no incentive so they now have shortages. Iran, nearly drowning in oil actually has gasoline shortages because the govt runs the industry there. The same is true of Venezuela, shortages of fuel. The Soviets were great at building BFR (Big Fokkin Rockets) but were unable to make any necesary consumer products. Government running of large portions of an economy has been tried many many times and has always been a miserable failure so we really do not need to do the experiment again. |

I for one am not really interested in debating what you think are your policy points. You and the other righties are simply seeking platforms in which you can distort the truth about the need for health care reform by raising false, b.s. issues about abortion, government control, rationing, euthanasia, and so forth. You righties had control of the White House and government for the last eight years. Your side never seriously addressed the horrific issues we have regarding health care, coverage, and paying for same. Your side also ignored or made worse other serious problems this nation faces. Now, suddenly, you're interested? Bull****. |

Yeah. Medicare is a big failure. Right. D'oh. Medicare is a good demonstration of how expensive government medical care is tho. They spend 3% of every wage earned in this country, covering about 15-16 % of the population and they are going broke doing it. The people covered still need supplemental private insurance. All you are doing here is pointing out areas where Medicare can be improved. Yes, Medicare is a failure with a 30% fraud rate. |

And you think, that when the government nationalizes the health care industry, the fraud rate will go down? With government health care there will be NO oversight to prevent fraud. If you want to see fraud look at some of the current government programs. With government insurance, the government will take 40% or more of your income to pay for it, remove your input into your medical treatment, and return less insurance coverage than you get now. That is if you are considered a productive individual, otherwise you get nothing. |

And who is committing most of the fraud? Providers in the private sector. The fact there is some fraud does not make medicare a failure. |
