d) whether people would be in favor of the whole ACA process if the federal government could run solvently the postal system without a $15.9 Billion Deficit; Postal Service Loss Of $15.9 Billion Sets Record
e) and whether people would be in favor of ACA if the federal government could run Amtrak productively enough to get a person from Minneapolis to Orlando in less than 49 hours and 27 minutes (look it up).
The whole thing is not so simple as people often make it out to be. |
No. It isn't. Nor are motives. Sometimes those who sound the most altruistic and support the kinds of things that seemingly help others are not so kind. You can feel it in their posts. They are often unrealistic about how things work and can't see that supporting some issues just wastes money that could be spent on really helping people. We need a tad of tough love here in the U.S. We should do it the way we raise kids we love...a little harshly to get them going in the right direction.
