In Australia, the government pumped a ton of cash into stimulus payments for just about everybody, & told us to go spend it. We did, & it kept us out of a recession by the skin of our teeth. In fact, we're the only G20 nation that has avoided recession. The only thing Obama has done wrong is not give /enough/ money to people who'd go straight out & spend it. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

In every other country with 'socialised' health care, they spend much less than the USA does. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

What are the odds of some random guy beating a mega-rich corporation in court? Where's he supposed to find the money to pay for the kind of legal team you'd need to counter the legal team of a major corporation? It's even worse if the reason he needs to litigate is that he's dying of cancer which his insurer refuses to treat. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."
