  • Single payer seems to be working well out here. But then again, the population is relatively wealthy.

    You also don't have racial minorities (which helps to explain the whole *wealth* thing).
    Spot on.

    This why I always chuckle when the we see "rankings" of anything in the US vs. other nations such as Japan, Switzerland, Austria , Germany, etc. yes, let's compare math scores with Japan. All of the US vs a much smaller homogeneous country.

    You can't expect us to compete with Japan now that they're serious about math!

    HAHA, Right wing fanatics never believe or acknowledge that markets fail because of sociopaths…they just “correct”. Consequently, regulation is unnecessary, because everyone deep down is a good guy. Failed markets correct because the government steps in and bails out the failed market by insuring the losses are socialized out to everyone and by promising vast new regulation. Without regulation, these markets won’t correct.

    CDOs, credit default swaps, bond rating agencies, insurance companies (AIG, etc.) basically anything in 2008.

    Asset Management -> Madoff Investment Securities LLC, Stanford Financial Group

    Tourist Industry for The Buddhas of Bamiwam

    Iranian Nuclear energy program

    Inevitably, all forms of Paper money...

    Right wing fanatics? Good Christ. Stop being a partisan fag. The fact you think a free market system = right wing fanatic speaks volumes.

    So you don't have examples of free markets failing? You haven't given a single example of a free market failure. Clearly you have no understanding of financial markets. Madoff free market failure? Lol. Just stop. Here's a hint, when government steps in to rescue their fuck up, that isn't a free market. None of 2008 you listed were free market enterprises. Government handouts, government special favors, cronyism, corporatism, government policy, government intervention....certainly not free market principles.

    Fiat money isn't an example of the free market, it's another example of government fuck up.

    You're very good at redefining...but it's inevitably a worthless cause. As I already stated before you did it, right-wingers always redefine that a market failure is a market "correction".

    BTW, I'm merely a pretty, moderate fag.

    So currencies are not exchanged on a free market?
