How is privatizing Medicare a solution to the issues were discussing? 100% agree with investing in infrastructure.

It'd cost far less money (Medicare around 30% to waste/fraud/abuse, while private HI loses less than 7%). And, it employs people at higher pay rates. Insurance employees make far more than Federal Medicare employees.[/quote]
If your contention is that it would cost less money, then it has nothing to do with allocating revenues from tax increases on the rich. That said, the infrastructure plan is a great idea.

And then it pisses me off to no end to read shit like this:
http://thehill.com/policy/transportatio ... er-changes
Truck drivers are still limited to working ONLY 70 hours per week...
LOL. But now there will be no mandatory time of sleep between 1am and 5am...
Sometimes you just have to laugh at this country.
