I probably disagree with GF and Architect as often as I agree with them.  I realize that you would like to paint me as a flaming liberal, but I'm really much more middle of the road than that.  I think that we need balance in government -- we need the liberals to keep of mindful of the needs of people, but we need Republicans to keep an eye on spending.  I haven 't care much for the "moralizing" of the Republicans of late and if Obamacare is not the solution, I haven't heard a Republican solution that I think would solve the problem.  I don't believe that there wil ever be "universal" health care, but I think a 90% solution would be a fair compromise.  I don't think government belongs in social issues, but should keep to the planning and operating of our country (which neither side seems to be able to do)  I do, however, think that some of the sacred cow social programs need to be restructed. Everything needs periodic review and tweaking or maybe out and out restructuring, and you can't just take things off the table.
