Reply #66: I'm rather centrist -- I have just two 1) that dog of a healthcare bill --

I'm pretty centrist, but I can see the wisdom of single-payer or at least a public option. I can also see the stupidity of mandating that people give money to the health insurance companies, as well as the stupidity of having the government subsidise private insurance.

Number 2) -- I would have liked to have seen a stimulus package that actually gave people off the street JOBS -- what's wrong with an FDR style CCC, WPA, etc?

I'm actually pretty much cool with everything else. Not that enthused about sending Dubya to the Hague, combat operations in Iraq are over, and there are far fewer of our troops there now, plus, Obama always said he was going to try to win in Afghanistan.
