12/12 in the youngest age group and I only completed highschool. I do, however, read The Wall Street Journal.

I missed health care spending and troop level in Afghanistan. In my defense the troop level question did not specify US troop levels, I considered allies as well. I 'm skeptical about the health spending answer and need to do some research to either validate my answer or correct myself.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

What our leaders are trying to assure us is that they can deliver us a superior product for less money. It doesn't work that way. Ever.

Actually, it works that way quite often: most of the time, when government gets out of the way, products improve and prices drop.

It just ain't going to happen with government more involved.

Why would an inferior product be more expensive?

People asked that same question of American car companies in the 70's and 80's.

Euopean healthcare is run by socialists/bureaucrats. They think they can never run out of other people's money. Their idea to fix anything is to pour more money into it. Of course as they increase the money spent on the system they drop coverage to reduce costs. I suppose that causes it to even out.
