The fact remains that no one in the U.S. goes without medical necessary
care because of finances. The concern about millions of uninsured in
the U.S. (about 1/2 of which are in the country illegally) is not about
medical care, its about money. Everyone get medical care regardless of
their ability to pay in the U.S.
Mothers and children that do not have medical insurance get better
medical care than most insurance companies can provide as well.

Don't even get me started on malpractice insurance costs, or drug makers
advertising on TV and other places.

They need to advertise profitable products because they are subsidizing
the RND of drugs for the entire planet. The U.S. spends billions on
drug research. Once a new treatment is developed, the rest of the world
demands to receive it for production cost. If you think durg companies
are making money hand over fist, you are perfectly welcome to buy some
of their stock and share their profits. The fact is that the occasional
winfall from a new development comes after decades of pouring money
into research.

For those that want to curse out the peoples of the middleast
because they are making $$$$$$$$ on producing and selling crude
oil I would say this: quit bitching and get busy producing the
stuff yourself and start making money like they are. If you don't
want to do that then shut up and start riding a bike.

Man, is it the full moon, or everyone's time of the month, or what? Jay
never bitched word one about the mid-east, or as you say, "middleast" or
whatever the h*ll that is.

Another for the looney bin.

The lure -- and illusory rewards -- of bribing us with our own money
are far too great for any country to long resist.

If you want to see America's future, all you need to do is visit any
inner city convenience store that sells lottery tickets, right after
the first of the month. It's really quiet pathetic...

Exactly. And it is sad to say, but public (government) schools are
doing a fine job of insuring new generations will go forth with
limited understanding of the real power of economic freedom and
just how precious it is to maintain.

I have a public school education and you won't see me buying lottery
tickets, or participating in any other kinds of bad economic decisions.

Granted, I didn't learn anything until I got out of public high school.

Ok, I have MY "opinion". Since diesel has more BTU's per gallon that
gasoline, my "opinion" is diesel "should" cost MORE than gasoline!!

Only if BTUs are the only important thing.

He obviously does not understand law of supply demand, or laws of chemistry
or physics, 'cause all three of those should have jet A costing less than
Avgas. The only thing that keeps prices high is the ability of the
producers to fix prices where they want, with no other choice being
available to the airlines or business aviation.

From Wikipedia:
The Middle East is a loosely defined term for the historical and cultural
subregion of Africa-Eurasia traditionally held to be countries or regions
in Southwest Asia together with Egypt. In other contexts, the region can
include other parts of North Africa and/or Central Asia.

Stick to piloting. Who pays for immunizations of the "mothers and
children in the US that do not have medical care?"

Some states have free clinics. In other states they do without.

We do subsidize GA in the USA however. Ah, priorities and politics.....

I'd rather have aviation subsidized than some woman with ten kids on
welfare. Socialists suck.

and there is always the
message that capitalism needs to be reigned in lest it go crazy and
crush the weak and weary.

And that is a valid and important message, as Microsoft, Exxon, and Sony
have demonstrated.

Yeah.. it seems whenever people have no real point to make
other than to inject themselves into a thread they will
make a comment about someones spelling or typing.
