There is a reason why we are the Worlds only Superpower. Sure the Euro makes things look bad for the US economy wise, but it did take 15 countries in Europe to do that. Healthcare... don't even get me started. Social Healthcare is absolutely not the answer. The quality of Healthcare goes way down, the government essentially dictates medicine and obviously gives quite a hefty discount... and what you pay is what you get. I hate getting involved in these off topic talks especially about politics because you cant change my mind and I am not going to change yours but ignorance drives me insane. In a perfect world Healthcare would be free, but here in the real world it just doesn't work that way. You can't have the best of everything! I consider myself a "True American" and I drive a non-American vehicle! What you see on TV is not always the truth... as a matter of fact it rarely is. Sorry for the soap box... but you need to wake up!
