It started in ‘80, and yes, it is time to start getting real about reducing the debt and it can ONLY be done if income, as in TAXES, exceed spending. Health care is a lot cheaper than dropping bombs on people folks- so let’s really get real. BTW, talking to a group of doctors, nurses and administrators, the common sentiment was that PREVENTIVE MEDICINE would be the greatest economic move in health care. Reducing tort risk and pharma costs, and excessive testing are also up there.
I immediately thought Iceland, what with their massive debt and volcanic eruption 2 days ago causing an ash cloud disrupting European aircraft travel.
Their banks’ collapse with huge deposits from British residents, amongst others, “pushed” Britain into using draconian legislation aimed at anti-terrorism to freeze their assets held in the UK as guarantees. The Icelanders are still miffed about that.
