anyone paying attention to the economy going down the fucking shitter?

This is Ron Paul’s exact stance

BUT fund improvements to put us on the path to a “great society” (i.e. universal health-care, affordable university/vocational schooling, etc…)

etc.

instead of universal healthcare could we just cut the rampant corruption out of the healthcare system and drastically reduce people’s taxes so they can afford their own insurance? same with schooling?

I don’t see why the government needs to be involved here.
