On Cost and Healthcare





Here are some things I'd love to have:


College tuition for each of my three children, sitting in interest-bearing accounts.

A larger sedan as the children have to uncomfortably smush themselves in the back seat now.

A nice swimming pool in the back yard. Public pools gross me out but I love to swim.

The ability to take a year off work so that Andrew could focus on his career.

A house at Smith Mountain Lake, for convenient weekend escapes.


I want each of these things, but I can't afford them. So I don't get them. Obama wants a $1.5,000,000,000 reform package. It would be nice to be able to afford this, but we are not enjoying high financial times. Can't afford = don't get. Why doesn't the government have to abide by simple economic principles like the rest of us do?
