I joined the forum specifically to introduce for discussion an idea I have had for several years. As you might guess, the idea concerns our nation's social safety net, including healthcare and Social Security. It is a revolutionary plan that would immediately establish cradle-to-grave universal healthcare, gradually replace Social Security with a financially sound retirement plan for all and would actually replace most if not all other entitlement/social programs. What's more is that I think it could be acceptable to the left [i][b]and[b][i]the right! I invite you to read abou the plan in some detail at realsocialsecurity.blogspot.com, then let me know what you think.

Can anyone give a logical explanation as to why the Bush Administration went to such great lengths in terms of military lives lost (4000+) and innocent citizens killed nearly 1,000,000), to lie us into a war over approximately 3,000 fatalities on 9/11, but shows absolutely no concern that we are losing between 80,000 and 100,000 people EVERY YEAR from MEDICAL MISTAKES?
