I am less optimistic than I was before.
Many Americans want no part of self-responsibility. They truly believe that government can and will take care of them. The nanny state has become their god.
Our politicians have bought into this state of mind also.
AND as long as the US government can continue to pump out massive debt, at manipulated interest rates, in a totally printed currency - then who is to say they are wrong??
Yes.
The false initial assumption is that the government should in any way take care of our personal, individual health needs.
Accepting that premise means relinquishing fundamental liberty.
