| but you dont get it because all you see is the issue of healthcare in America in his post, and the issue of oil/fuel prices in the original post But what this is really about, at the core, is the proper role for our federal government, specifically should it be meddling in things that are outside its carefully deliberated proper roles. You clearly havent read the constitution, nor the federalist papers because you would already know this if you had. There is nothing new here, these outcomes were predicted and have hashed out time and time again not only in the last century but all the way back to the days of the Roman Empire and various Greek confederacies. In everything government gets involved in where it shouldn't, problems and eventual disaster arise. The federal government has no business telling oil companies where they can and cant drill, how much they can and cant charge, where they can and cant refine, etc etc....just like it has no business trying to run a free/semi-free healthcare system for people. The results are inevitably bad. "Great minds focus on ideas, average minds focus on issues, small minds focus on people"
