Seems like it's all the same inference for the various arguments.

Government cash for clunkers....

Sigh....

With all due respect to both KD and Aunty, my post was not meant to be used as a hammer maliciously thrown in the direction of a specific party. A stated conclusion was intentionally excluded in hope of something either broader in context or more distilled would be forthcoming. Perhaps a cold G&T is in order for the latter, or this for your consideration of the former....

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. -- Noam Chomsky

Hankster, the point is it's a very very lucrative business. We're not talking 10% profit margins here more like 200% to 300% or more. Raping and pillaging us at all levels of care even on your death bed and you don't seem to disagree with that. The doc get's maybe a couple hundred to be responsible for life and death decisions but send me over to Radiology and they gouge out $1,500? It's gotta stop. That's why I call for a regulated industry just like we regulate health care insurance. Blood suckers should be ashamed of themselves.

"When you consider that the alternative would be to cut you open and take a look, I'd say that's a bargain."

Btw, that's pretty warped logic. The alternative is to force you to extract less out of our pockets. Your "we" would still be turning an envious profit. Just not an insane one.

Do you believe in the easter bunny, santa claus and fairies too?

I can't see how anyone can trust Congress knowing they're pulling this crap year after year. We should be threatening each incumbent with replacement.


Ron Paul is quite real. I voted for him so that he might be a replacement for the status quo a-holes we were offered by the big two/one party. He also stands for exactly the opposite of the sloth and greed of corporate america and their lackies, our government.

and if you have a problem with the easter bunny and santa claus, take some ex-lax since you don't like bran flakes. moose fairies are real by the way, just ask Hankster. wink rofl

Who pays the huge R&D costs? The Canadians?

Is it R&D or is it mostly to cover the costs of being sued when 87 yr old Aunt Mary has an adverse reaction?

One of the Docs I work with had a bad hip. He loved that stuff because he could take a pill and wouldn't hurt all day. On the day we had to get rid of all the samples we had, he came in early and took them all home with him. About a three year supply.

My Fiance is a nurse and would bring home sample packs, that was the only non narcotic that would rid my back pain.

Who wants to bet that yet ANOTHER self-imposed ban is a comin' shortly?

The reasoning of course will be that EVERYBODY ELSE is making too many personal attacks.

The clunker fund has run out of money. I got 19MPG on my last tank with no car payments so I guess I will keep driving my 12 year old Ford.
