Also why is Obame putting so many radicals, and even a comunist in key positions. (VanJones is a self proclaimed radical and comunist. Damn near every one he has appointed is a radical. I am a very old man and I learned a long lime ago not to listen to a politican, but watch what they do. And Obama has been doing a lot of lying and taking over to many businesses. He has control of the banks, auto industry,says how much they can earn, and now he wants control of the health care industry. When that happens he will control damn near every aspect of your life. Wake up America, can't you see that him and his goons want to control you? I saw this comming even before the election and I am a registered democrat, but I would not and did notvote for him. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10356','Glenn'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10356','Glenn','What I do not understand is why is the ECIU helping write the stimulis package and more than likely Obamas health care plan(s).

Note that this argument is frequently used for any number of government iniatives/intrusions into our private lives. Why does no one challenge this statement by noting that the US is the wealthiest nation on earth precisely because the government does not step into these areas? Why does no one point out that our choice is really between a system where 1) there are vast disparities in health-care options and usage, but overall the opportunities for health care is better at all levels and 2) there are not disparities in health-care options and usage (so-called "fairness") but the resulting government control (rationing by any other name remains rationing) will not lead to better opportunities at any level?

Why does no one point out that our choice is really between a system where
1) there are vast disparities in health-care options and usage, but overall the opportunities for health care is better at all levels
and
2) there are not disparities in health-care options and usage (so-called "fairness") but the resulting government control (rationing by any other name remains rationing) will not lead to better opportunities at any level?
