On Budget & Economy
Rejects free market vision of government. (Oct 2007)
??? From the sounds of it, he doesn’t believe that we should have the choice of where we go for our pension investments, healthcare insurance, education, or child-care. The state will tell us where they decided to invest our retirement monies (spooky, because of what’s going on right now in Chicago with the state pensions). The state will tell us where to take/send our children for daycare ~ he has lots of Early Educational program plans in the making. The state will tell us where to go for our ‘free’ healthcare (again, HMO ring any bells?) and rest assured that the working folks WILL be paying SOMETHING for this service ~ it will only be ‘free’ to folks that aren’t working. Last, but not least, free education. Well, not exactly free ~ BILLIONS of tax dollars will be going to fund this.
**Having gone to a private college, i can tell you that it just isn’t that hard to afford ~ between the student loans, work-study and some scholarships (grants are also available), i had a little garage apt. and used car, some groceries in the kitch, beer in the fridge, you know.
