Did the Post Office discover the internet?

The libs want a govenrment monopoly for heath care...and it doesn't get any worst than that. The "free" care will increase demand and naturally long lines result. The government will then determine that the cost is way too high. Then the pharmaceuticals and doctors will be told how much money they can keep.

-- That's already happening in the UK (rationed care) and just around the corner in Canada.

I read a theory a while back that stated that political markets are no different than any other kind of market. Politicians offer handouts and protection, and the citizenry bid on these services with votes and campaign contributions. In the UK, liberals have essentially saturated the market with large social programs and there's not much left to "sell" without destroying the market itself and going full throttle to marxism. Since they have nothing left to "sell", they're instead focusing on cutting costs.
