Perhaps Washington won't "solve" our US health care crisis...in the old fashion way this year?
You know, by telling American companies to relocate to nations that already have national health insurance...like Canada, Europe and parts of Asia.
Or to parts of the world where workers are simply slaves of the government like in China.
The US trade deficit will not come down until American companies get the health insurance monkey off their backs...
Curiously, the trade deficit may bring universal health care faster than common sense or any other motive...especially in the current money and bribe obsessed envirnoment in Washington...
WITHOUT NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE THERE IS GOING TO BE A COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR CAUSED BY THE "STRUCTURAL" TRADE DEFICITS THAT ARISE FROM THE UNCOMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT IN THE US...AND THE START OF THAT DOLLAR COLLAPSE COULD BE AS EARLY AS 2007....
AND THAT'S NOT TO MENTION THE HUGE DECLINES THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED...AS EVIDENCED BY THE PRICE OF GOLD AND OIL IN 2006
