Before I offer a rebuttal to your opinion, remember I'm just entering into friendly debate. 1st, I work for Medicaid and Medicare and those two programs are the single largest reason why healthcare costs so much. 2nd, since the inception of the dept. of education the quality and substance of it has rapidly declined. 3rd, the policies that led to the recession were not inacted by corporations but forced upon them by a democrat congress. 4th, the stimulus has only slowed down growth of the economy, Japan has been in a recession for twenty years, studies show it would have ended by now if they stopped passing stimulus packages, unemployment is not down just the amount of people eligible. The problem isn't corporations, it's the government sticking their nose into places where it doesn't belong. Our founding fathers never intended for the government to be the way it is now. The other problem is the American citizens refusal to take responsibility for their life and the choices they make.
