And how do they propose to pay for all of it?

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

AGREE and I am getting to old to support more of those that think anything from the goverment is free.

Not that many rich people to pay for all. So most of the money comes from middle class, 48% of my money goes to pay for all these hand out.

48% of your money goes to handouts huh? wow

impressive

ohhhhh my god that is so sad. was that yesterday or today, i have not herd that yet on the news. What happens to those that a flu like syptom and no coverage? (like myself) I dont have any syptoms but it makes me think. I dont have coverage, im a pca and they dont offer any yet, and i had free care but my hours when up 10 hour a week and then i lost them, that when they cut my free care, so now i have no coverage lost the extra hours. They should set up free clinics to test for that flu if someone is haveing flue like syptoms. (sorry for the rant)

I am in total agreement with setting up free clinics for testing.....not necessarily because of the uninsured (they fill ER waiting rooms every day anyway, most are NOT going without care) but because I think they need the suspected flu cases FAR away from our regular Dr's and hospitals. I am terrified to go for any reason right now because the waiting rooms are nothing but germ boxes.

Well taxes, sure alot of that goes to pay for what people think is free from our goverment.

I agree..."flu clinics" would be a great idea, I think.

The girl that died here in Houston - I don't think this should be considered a "US" death. She was brought here from Mexico to be treated. I want more details about how she got here and who she might have infected along the way!

Not trying to blame this on the Mexican that cross our border, just the fact we cant control who cross our borders, how are we to control a major outbreak of this swine flu. That is in Mexico.

So would you suggest that US citizens who have gone to Mexico (it happens, you know) be refused re-entry and be detained in Mexico?

I agree with this:

please do not use this as an excuse to berate Mexicans who cross the boarder that is not what this is about ..this is about how we pull together as people and get through something not blame

BUT I also think that we shouldn't expose ourselves. What would it hurt to completely shut down the border/ and stop all plane traffic from MX for two weeks until it blows over?​

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the illegals!

If we can come up with trailers for Katrina Victims, why can't we set up quarantine trailers at the border for our citizens who are trying to re enter the country? I think in two weeks it will probably all blow over.

At least, I hope it will.

I KNOW he is talking about illegals which is my point exactly. It isn't illegals who are spreading this here, it is US citizens who have travelled to Mexico. Looks like Mahonri got it though.

And yes, that might be a decent idea.
