If you think a government-run health care system would be a good thing, you must also think that our government-run postal system, education system, tax collection system and vehicle registration system are all top notch. You might also be an idiot.
In addition, wouldn’t it be nice if the Democrats could answer the simple question of exactly where in the Constitution the power to force every American to buy a health insurance policy comes from? Here’s a list of headlines on just that subject from CNS News today:
• Sen. Lautenberg Declines To Say Where Congress Gets Constitutional Authority To Mandate Health Insurance
• Sen. Bob Casey: Health Care Mandate Constitutional But Not Sure If There’s ‘Specific Constitutional Provision’
• Sen. Nelson: Constitutionally, Congress Can ‘Probably’ Mandate Health Insurance In ‘Same Place’ States Can Mandate Car Insurance
• Alaska Senator Begich Doesn’t Say Where Congress Gets Authority to Mandate Purchase of Health Insurance
• Sen. Sanders: Constitutional Authority for Congress’ Health Insurance Mandate ‘Probably’ Same As Medicare
I would love to comment on this, but it is your blog, and when you get corrected you have a funny way of deleting comments, and taking your big red ball and running home… so I guess I will just keep my comments to myself…. happy new years…
Hey, it looks like Matt has the capacity to learn after all.
Once you feel comfortable enough with the rules of the game, feel free to jump back in and play.
Or not.
I won’t lose any sleep either way.
God grief, more constitution talk. I thought with the arrival of the year and the gradual disappearance of the Paultards we had heard the last of this nonsense.
The Constitution is nonsense!? The constitutionality of every peice of legislation MUST be ensured or we are not doing our jobs as Americans. Just because the House and Senate think it is a good idea to ram a program through, does not mean it is legal for them to do so. I would hope that I will never hear the end of “constitution talk”, as this is what keeps us free. In fact, is is the very document that allows for people like you to freely show your dislike of freedom.
Phillip,
More than just the Ron Paul people care about the consitution. Maybe you should read it some time.
