I would like to see some conservative braniacs that don't mind being called names develop a plan for the federales to gradually extricate themselves, and US from this black hole. There has GOT to be a better way and someone, somewhere has the brain power to figure it out. I'm not one of 'em...
With my plan you could theoretically raise the level of stop-loss on the fund until it was no longer needed. At least the free market could get a foothold and charities. Also the tax credit system for covering the poor would get started.
