Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
"A WW 2 GI bill bred a whole generation of educated people who were quickly beaten down with the commie scare of Joe McCarthy. Reds pinkos liberals commies Jews, N'ers were put in their place as soon as Republicans got the white house back.

It worked then so they will run that play again, you can rely on it.

"The moment WW 2 was over in Britain the fisrt thing the people wanted and got was National HEalth care.

"It is taking a bit longer over here because the corporate mentality is more deeply ingrained." Donuel

Good god, Don. It appears to me that your thesis doesn't even get near the water, much less hold it. First you say that the GI bill "bred a whole generation of educated people" then you go on to say how quickly these same educated were "beaten down with the Commie scare, etc.

Question: What is the solution? I gather that education isn't it.
Speaking of presidents and "as soon as Republicans got the white house back." here is a list of the pertinent years:

# Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1933-1945
# Harry S Truman 1945-1953
# Dwight David Eisenhower 1953-1961
# John Fitzgerald Kennedy 1961-1963
# Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963-1969
# Richard Milhous Nixon 1969-1974
# Gerald Rudolph Ford 1974-1977

I fail to follow your reasoning.

Second Question: What are you implying about Britain?
