"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Panel Calls For ?Fundamental Changes? in Veterans? Care
""The commission charged with overhauling health care for wounded troops called Wednesday for ?fundamental changes? in the system and ?aggressive treatment? of the Iraq war's signature wounds ? post traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries." Expanding war socialism leads to expanding health care socialism. If I burst into someone's house with guns a-blazin? and the people who live there shoot back at me, can I demand that the taxpayer pay for my medical treatment? (Remember ? all those troops we?re supposedly obliged to support volunteered to go off and kill foreigners for Uncle Sam.)"
