Lets keep healthcare reform discussions away from this one. The government fails on many respects. That does not mean we should completely do away with every policy and plan. By that logic, we should ban the government from partaking in any war. </p> <p>Kudos to you for keeping a $1200 clunker going. The cheapest I have seen a car related expense is $200 a month + insurance. This is in the case of a car that was owned and maintained for 10+ years. New cars usually cost $8000 annually or more in payments, insurance, maintenance and gas. Jacksonville almost imposes a 'Car-Tax' by not having decent mass transit. I wonder who owns a large number of gas stations in Duval!</p> I am sure there is an ulterior motive to stimulate car sales for stagnant stock.

Apply the same math to a single payer health care system and see what kind of waste you find. Great post though. I'll keep my "clunker" at around28 miles per gallon (highway) that I bought for $1200 a year ago. No new debt and I'll most likely be able to sell lit for a profit (around $100-200) if I put a little money into it with basic upgrades and maintenance like plugs, wires and a tune up. And my yearly operating cost is probably less than $100 a year instead of God knows what on a new vehicle with scheduled maintenance and what not.</p> So, if I understand correctly here, you agree that the Governments plan to reduce carbon emissions in the United States fails miserably, and yet you still think they can run health care?
