Health care for all would never break this country, but some of the following would:
Pouring out to other countries money that we don't have.
Making some countries winners and rich when I was under the idea we were the winners in the last big war.
Trying to fight brush fires in so many parts of the world at the same time (this costs millions that we don't have).
Big talk on Haiti but no action. It would be a big mistake and very costly anyway. Forget Haiti!
Forgiving foreign countries the billions they owe Uncle Sam, which would just about pay for most of health care.
A $350 million building we don't need that few in Congress knew about anyway - no wonder we don't have a good health-care bill.
Too many committees appointed to study this or that (including Congress). This cost millions.
Millions and millions for illegal aliens already here and still coming, and we pay for all.
I could go on and on, but you know the story.
