I don’t care how good the plan is.

Except to prevent crime and fraud, I would agree with you.

There are two ways to handle a broken car ...
1. Crush it in the compactor.
2. Fix it.

So who is the Don Quixoti who is campaigning to let people die in the streets? I can’t find one at the moment.
I agree with you 1000%, but unfortunately the government has been in it since Medicare was started.
I keep saying the progressives have been at this for a 100 years plus, no one man is going to totally reverse this course in one term.
