Your VA hypothesis sounds like something they might think of. And, I agree, people don't seem to realize that the government is not a productive entity. All the money that the government spends comes from taxpayers. The more the government provides to you, the more you work for the government. And the politicians will gladly keep deficit spending and promising more to get elected. Thanks for your insights.

We live in a "free" country so the government needs to supply those things to everyone. The fact that mutual enslavement is required to pay for all this is not to be mentioned in polite, or politically correct company. (And when it is mentioned by rude interlopers it is exactly as if nothing was said.) Hillary just announced, as you predicted, that she will introduce universal health care. She invoked the fatuous work around of requiring everyone to have medical insurance. I might guess that those that can't afford this, and therefore don't already have it, will have to have it supplied to them at the expense of others. Only fair, no? I can't be sure how she'll scratch the itch of her desire for a national system of government doctors and hospitals, but she'll think of something. Maybe the VA system can be opened to those illegally uninsured, and then mushroomed into a full blown, monster system.... Hmm. Best, Todd F. Allison,
