I was reading through my usual list of blogs yesterday and ran across a comment from another reader. The blog entry was about the coming Obamacare overtake of our Nation's health care system. The comment stated that "in a nation as wealthy as ours, it's a shame we don't provide health care to all of our citizens."
Oh, really? A nation as wealthy as ours?
I thought we were in a recession. I thought our nation was trillions of dollars in debt. I thought we were on the brink of economic collapse.
The United States has had one year with a balanced budget since the Nixon administration. Count 'em. One.
I've heard this argument before. I've never seen it challenged. We are no longer a wealthy nation by any standard. We are the world's biggest debtor nation, and it's getting worse.
