Fortunately in my 60 years
You and I are both young, but you are younger than me. ;-)
I think you and I agree on most everything here. And, I suspect that you, like me, will know when it's time to go.
I didn't mean to say, if I did say, that government is the cause of high health care costs I will say again that Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare are unconstitutional. I will also say that it is a fact that too much of the Medicare money is used to create the appearance of life in old folks who are not in any meaningful sense still living. And, I will also say again that the entire system is bound to collapse financially because so much money is wasted in that sort of fashion.
But, I still believe in liberty and so I believe that if some old fart wants to continue "living" for an extra few weeks or months with tubes emerging from every orifice, then i think he should have that right so long as he pays for it.
I must admit, that does surprise me.
If you mean that too many Americans act in selfish irresponsible ways, then yes I agree with that assertion.
We need to look at how our decisions affect others, especially if that decision requires others to pay for it or even assist in paying for it. Either way it is not our government's responsibility to force people to support other people. Either here are abroad.
If the government would stick to the Constitution we would not have a lot of the problems we currently do have. At least at the Federal level. Too bad many Americans do not see this reality.
However, I still disagree with how you choose to presented your argument. Not that you don't have a right to present it how you deem fit, but I think if you try to present it in a different fashoin you will find less blow back. Just a suggestion.
