[...] Political corruption is the root cause of today’s economic crisis. Special interests bribed politicians in both political parties to lift regulation of our financial and credit industries, and Bill Clinton signed the 1999 bill into law. Even with a solid Republican congress at the time, the Dems were complicit. The D’s also pushed to allow mortgages for those unable to handle the payments, and the R’s went along. [...]

Interesting single-payer support from MarketWatch

“Health care

Because the United States is the only advanced country that doesn’t have a national health care system, the Big Three companies (and every other company that wants to attract good workers) must bear the cost of health insurance. The Big Three also cover the costs for most retirees.

That cost is built into the price of every American-built car to the tune of more than $1,500 per car. It’s no wonder that GM, Ford and Chrysler can’t compete with Toyota, Honda and Hundai.

The answer is simple: Get out of the way and follow the people, who overwhelmingly support universal health coverage. Enrolling every American in a health insurance system run like Medicare would extend care to millions of uninsured Americans, cut costs by eliminating unnecessary paperwork, and would probably improve the quality of care.”

Right on Jack;

You got it down—-getting it to the national media and radio talking heads is the real challenge—-they sound like they’re wearing earplugs!

Thanks Clyde. And here we are the day after Michigan’s primaries, with more votes going to Republicans than Democrats. Do Michigan voters not understand why more cars are now being made in Canada than Michigan? Can anybody spell “health care?” Is mandating people or employers to buy health care the solution?

I don’t think so. There is one best answer, and until we accept that, and sideline the insurance industry and their money, it’s going to be more of the same for some time to come.

I’ve always been one of those “independents”. Never been a member of either of the two dominant political parties. But I’m definitely listening, as well as studying and thinking about the tailspin in which representative democracy and U.S. history has been descending for the last thirty some years. Full, effective public financing of elections for all public office is the essential first step which we the people must take to reclaim our nation and its government.
