Well this conservative is just about disgusted with people calling themselves “conservatives” while they defend a RAT socialized medical system like MediCare, just to win an election. It’s pandering, it’s dishonest, it’s protecting the queen of all entitlements, it’s unconstitutional, it’s intergenerational theft, and it just doesn’t work.

Well, not only that, it set us up for all this medical cost inflation in the first place.

"just to win an election"

What? You want the President to win this election??? You can't turn this entitlement avalanche around in "one fell swoop!" Or in one election campaign. The addiction is far too well established for a correction to happen quickly.

In fact, it's getting harder and harder for any major correction in anything to happen quickly unless we were to abandon our democratic process with a revolutionary dictitorial process and even that would cause decades of painful disruption...

LBJ's great society ain't workin out too well and neither is Greece's, so ours will likely be just as warped for the forseeable future as their's is. At least it seems that way to me. Sometimes incrementalism is simply a necessary evil or we really would just lose it all in "one fell swoop!!!"
