Iraq and government health care.
Even though I am working for medical insurance, I have some real problems with government healthcare. Considering our governments recent accomplishments. We invaded a country that had weapons of mass destruction on good advice from our intelligence agencies. We destroyed the existing army and its infrastructure. We underestimated the number of American troups needed to maintain order. We didn't understand the idea of extended families and how they will protect their members. We didn't realize the countrymen hated each other as much as they despise us. We assumed that after years of training, their army could control its internal population. We believed that a democratic government was right for every country on the planet. We touted that we could do a background check on foreign nationals in 24 hours, and issue a passport in weeks. Believe me, the one thing we don't need is our government involved in health care. Lately the government ain't doing so hot. In fact, I can't find many things that our government does efficiently anymore. Politicians wonder why their polls are low...

Islander,
Once again, you're on target. Also, add to your list, on the top, I might add, the voting public who put those leaders in the positions & the people who didn't bother to vote. Also, a press that absolutely failed the job, and in the process failed us. A compliant, rubber stamp Congress did all they could to add insult to injury.
To make matters worse, the current Congress doesn't seem to have much in the way of direction. I won't put all the blame on them all at once. After all, it is usually found to be true that it is much more difficult to fix the screw up that someone else made. They do have that on their plates & the plate has been overflowing for years.
