    In response to the opening post, its a distinctly American attitude (exclusive, really), to revere the private sector and hate the government. We love enginuity, and its why we have national icons such as Franklin and Edison.

    In 1945-47, before the Marshall Plan started, American aid amounted to $13.1 billion. Postwar relief through the UN (UNNRA) came to $3.5 billion. Britain received a long-term loan of $3.75 billion in 1946. West Germany (that is the Allied-occupied part of the country) received U.S. goods through the GARIOA program (Government and Relief in Occupied Areas) valued at $1.7 billion. Aid to Greece and Turkey began in 1947 with the Truman Doctrine's allocation of $650 million.[3]

    (Msg 23) Britian is a ethnographical mess, you have no right to assualt american values tom. So what, we got a black president, i sure as hell didnt vote for him, But he;s here so. I dont like him but hes trying to destroy our world, he infact loathes everything to do with europe and people of european decent so i dont know why you support. infact i think hes a anti-semite as well.
    He's trying to make a better place for everyone and what better way to start than by ensuring everyone has access to medical care?

    As adjustments are made to the plan the taxes will come down. That's a fact because it's been proven in every country that has "government medical". The cost per capita is half of what the US spends.

    Also, other unnecessary spending will be cut and channeled into medical.

    Well, you could start with your grammar and spelling, it's hard to understand what you are saying.

    Ok, Evgeny I'll start typing like this. BASED ON THE OBSERVATIONS OF MY OWN GOVERMENT I THINK THAT A ACTION NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO A GOVERNMENT THAT IS BECOMING INCREASINLY HOSTILE.

    I have already tried to point out how generic prescribing would lower medical costs, this has been implemented in the UK and has proved very successful.

    I can't see how using upper case helps, can you?

    Well sorry for that, obviously I should have known the inner recesses of your mind. What was I thinking?

    I thought it was the far left that feared government. Not the far right.
