The problem is that the poster says he wants freedom of choice, and yet he criticizes the availability of choice in the same sentence. How messed up is that logic?
It is generally agreed that college tuition goes up faster than inflation because the federal government keeps pumping money into the system so that "deserving" people can go. They can't pay -- so I get to pay for them. I don't see a whole lot of choice there, since the IRS has a gun to my head.
Look at Obamacare. Lots of federal involvement in health insurance right? And now companies are droppin g coverage for people. And prices are going up. The government is giving healthcare to "deserving" people. They can't pay -- so I get to pay for them. I don't see a whole lot of choice there, since the IRS has a gun to my head.
How's this for an idea: you pay for what you get, and I pay for what I get. I like that.
But government is "paying" for everybody now, and the colleges get nicer and the hospitals get nicer too. I look at that and say "We screwed ourselves. We wanted a free lunch. Now we're slaves."
And you call me an Obama supporter for feeling like that. Really?
