- ... proposed one of his Great Society programs, Medicare. Medicare would allow those who were severely disabled, elderly or poor to receive quality medical treatment without worrying about the cost .

Medicare, along ... Medicare] should definitely be means-tested, without a doubt." By means-tested, Senator Danforth means each potential recipient of Medicare should be screened: the more money one has, the less government support he/she should receive.

In a communist world, doctors receive the same pay and respect ( as a far as the government goes ) as a farmer. Why should someone subject themselves to such a difficult occupation when others simply throw seeds on dirt? The answer is that they are forced to by the government. Therefore communism is equal but unequal. Overall, communism is a very difficult subject. It seems like it would be the best thing for everyone, yet it has never been ...

The press, of course, could change the "popular ... organized from the grassroots upward, not only to elect Jackson but, so it was said, to reaffirm the principles of republicanism of the Jeffersonian variety--that is, debt reduction, minimal government, and states' rights. In the election of 1828 these broad issues were addressed only in policy, internal improvements were never dealt with directly by either the candidates or the ...
- 2765: The HOPE Bill
- ... cyberspace and virtual reality actors, politicians, and the "keepers of life" will participate along with others. We will be able to raise most of the money but will need the government to contribute its share to fund such an aggressive and comprehensive program. A government sponsored program is needed if we are to attack poverty. Every country will need to contribute a certain amount of money. How many people it has, what its financial status ... the rest of the world to join forces and agree with the program to better improve their economic status? Private enterprises will try to submarine the program because now the government will be producing food and reducing its profit on the monopoly privately controlled. A solution is that this proposal would get people off welfare and unemployment; therefore, they will ...

- ... in peace under political arrangements of their own choosing. We take specific note of the remaining major obstacle to settlement-Hanoi's demand that the United States overthrow the Saigon government and impose a Communist-dominated government on the South Vietnamese.

Millions of jobs -- real jobs, not make-work -- need to be provided.

Then that money is put into a savings fund where it is held until you retire. When they retire money is ... they retire they will depend on the workforce and so on and so on. Which is fine when you always have more workers then retirees. This is the problem the government will face when the Baby Boomers retire in the year 2010. In 1950 there were 7.2 workers for each retiree. Today there are 3.2 workers for every retiree, an by the year 2020 there will only be 2.4 or less for each retiree.
