Will Obama pay a political price for his lies?

[Jim in CT]

Good debate as usual detbuch. My fear is that in the absence of government programs, more sick people will suffer than I am comfortable with. The government programs, however, must be well-run, and our federal government doesn't do much well.

Some famous person said something to the effect of "that government is best which governs the least". I subscribe to that. One of the limited things that I'd prefer that the government attempt to do, is help people, especially those who are suffering through no fault of their own.

There are a lot of people out there, doing incredible charitable work, but I'm assuming there's not enough voluntary charity to help everyone who needs it. I'm no expert on these things, but I wouldn't mind paying some tax dollars to help relieve the financial burden of our neighbors who weren't born as lucky as I was to be healthy.

My view on a strict libertarian is someone who believes everyone should be left to their own devices. I always found that to be self-centered.

Thanks for the kind words.
