Yep. 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.

Really? In every other country with 'socialised' health care, they spend
much less than the USA does.

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.
