Thank you.

I will need a new computer momentarily. What should I buy?

Tough question to answer, but you might want to read

the key to achieving a real single payer health care system here is convincing americans to question the premise that healthcare must be a profit making venture. It didn’t used to be.

I don’t think that is the key issue either. Profit or not the cost of the system has to be affordable to whomever pays (individual, company or taxpayer). It has to be an integral part of the cycle of money reflecting the real economy. It has to be a normal part of someone’s standard of living whether their company pays for it, whether they pay for it or whether the government pays for it. Question is, will the Rich allow us that standard of living or continue to demand we live a significantly poor life, so they can keep us under their thumbs.

Then, if that isn’t a big enough question, if the American people demand that standard of living will the Rich fulfill the threat they have always used against union strikers to close up the plant, shut down and go to some other country. There’s growing evidence many of them will. In many parts of the ‘industrial mid-west’ this has been happening since the 1980s and that’s one reason non-rich incomes have remained flat since the ’80s.

Play out that scenario and ask what America does then.

I do recall reading somewhere that he big three could be profitable if they didn’t have the harsh payments for health care. So heres the deal implement a plan whereby all Americans are covered by a single payer government run, cost recovered no profit system and everyone wins, small business, big business, the uninsured no need for the big three loans. The security for Joe and Jane middle class will tip the balance to the future sucess of America

Yep. Funny how nobody’s really told the American public about that stark reality, eh?

we can say pretty closely that there was a point when, economically, we did that, and we’ve been on the fast train to Third World ever since – we just haven’t been able to see it since we had all those cheap goods from Walmart.

Without admitting the situation is hopeless and that only one path is possible…

I think you could look at the Nixon era when they could imagine the end of Soviet Union and Nixon met with the Chinese and they had George H. W. Bush as ambassador to China. They could imagine a future without these countries as enemies. They could imagine the world as it became in 1990.

Or, you could look a bit further down the road to the ‘entrepreneurial’ 1980s when the Reagan-Bush team began down the road to world free trade.

Or you could say that politically the country changed and the Republicans saw that and knew they wouldn’t be able to win again because of demographics beyond their control and so the Dubya era perhaps signals the ‘big sellout endtimes’ for America.

I think that if there WAS a time it had to do with Republicans because Democrats have always been trying to heal and unite America and reach toward the ideals of the Constitution.
