Many people have rightly asked, where is the funding going to come from? Many say they will cut spending in other areas to equal out.. however, anyone who has watched government and closely listened to it.. knows otherwise. Any time they give an estimate, you know it'll be much higher, or if they say it will equal out, it most certainly will not.
However, there is a way to save a trillion dollars a year and use it on Healthcare. Bring our troops home! Shut down military bases in all foreign countries. Not only will this save us money that we continue to borrow, but it will change our perception throughout the world.
We won't be the country who bosses nations around. We will be the nation who is benevolent and shows the world an example of a humble and great nation. We ought not to be the nation who demands people be like we are, we must show them how to act and let them choose for themselves.
The healthcare bill obviously has its flaws and is definitely not constitutional. Yet, that's not the biggest problem, it's the mere cost. The costs are not actually proven where the funding will come from, most likely because there is none. At the same time these wars won't end, and I don't see how we expect all these money sinks to be sustainable.
We have so many money sinks and this is just another one. Greece is not an anomaly.. Spain, Portugal and Ireland are potentially there. America might be years from such a prospect... but years isn't really that long of a time. You can't change over night, it's a grueling process and while Americans might not want to take it, it will happen one way or another, the Greek way is definitely the harder way.
