"If Obama's health plan is an attempt to kill old people, then what was Bush's attempt to overhaul social security?"


Hm ... Yes -- but old people tend to vote conservative, so only Obama's plan makes sense. ;-)

Well, they may vote conservative, but they sure do like their free money!

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Oh, everybody likes free money. I can't remember who it was that said a Democracy only lasts until the people realize they can vote themselves unlimited funds from their nation's treasury, but it makes a lot of sense.
