You expect her to go through her life drugged every day, even though she can't afford it? That doesn't sound like a winning plan to me.
Taking care of your life, is like growing a garden:
*YOU have to prepare the ground, not a bureaucrat from Washington
*YOU have to plant the seeds
*YOU have to water and pull out the weeds, and keep the pests away.
YOU - not a federal bureaucrat, have to take care of your garden, and YOU should have the food it produces - not the gov't.
You probably believe this is an insane idea, but for most people, it's common sense. And it's VERY efficient. Central control from the gov't will

grow a garden as well as you can.

Wow.
Well thanks, but I tend my own garden (omg what a trite analogy) and all this waxing ineloquent has little to do with this reality you pretend to espouse. I know, right? That I have my own good job, and take care of my own life...and that I STILL have the audacity to believe that as a society it shouldn't be "i got mine now you get yours" is mind-boggling, isn't it? However, I know that I am not an exception to the rule.

Funny, I don't recall saying anything of the kind. You grab onto talking points that don't actually exist in the post you are 'responding' to.
I say this with the sense of inner self that makes me realize I am lesser, that I do want to be just like you, that you have the answers...or at least the general idea of what the answers should be...and I and my god are completely envious of your insight.
Oh, and I'm The Great Sarcastic.
I do wonder where my like-minded fellows are when you post such an abberration, such an over the top conglomeration of disrespectful bullshit, in response to my comment?
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
