| ckmlb said: Typical extremist overreaction, the guy has been president less than a year, he hasn't even passed health care reform and they already think America is doomed. Then you have the great congresswoman Virginia Foxx (yes two xxs) who said health care reform is a bigger threat to America than terrorism. These are the same people who said if Kerry (and Obama) get elected, we would have more terrorist attacks on the US. So I guess they forgot about that since health care reform can hurt the poor little insurance companies. I mean they are just barely making a living by cutting people's health or denying coverage for ridiculous reasons. |
It probably is... despite what it's being made out to be terrorism isn't really that big of a risk to the country. I mean, how many terrorist attacks have hit the US? Not that many... and most of them are domestic.
A bad piece of legislation can do way more damage then any attack could.
For example, which has done more damage to the US... Terrorism or Legislation that caused the bank meltdown crisis?
Terrorism or the War in Iraq?
Terrorism or Legislation that will cost everyone a lot more money, runs up the national debt, and won't get meanifgul benefits for 10 years (White house estimate) and may never actually produce realilizable benefits. (Opposition estimate.)
I'm going legislation every time... the first two killed more people, and this healthcare bill could ironically end up doing the same despite its goal being the opposite. (through effecting peoples pocket books negativly rather then positivly.)
