58. since it is taxes that pay for it and we will pay taxes whether we get it or not,

Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 10:09 AM by leftofthedial

it doesn't really "cost" anything. We could easily eliminate most spending on war and weapons and pay for it. And improve our national security at the same time. Making the super wealthy and corporations actually pay their taxes would be a big help too.

As many have stated, we already pay for universal, single-payer health care (and then some). We just don't GET it.
