ROMAN RUIN: Medicaid Stalemate Tests Cash-Strapped States - WSJ.com: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

I like Medicaid providing 'free aspirin'! Just unbelievable.

It boggles the mind to consider how so many people are being 'ruined' by this sense of entitlement.

(In one way it's a stretch, but one of history's comments on the cause of the 'Dark Ages' was that previously 'democratic' areas of Europe, such as Gaul, had spent so much time under Roman imperial rule, that all sense of democracy had vanished as Rome fell and they had to govern themselves. It reminds me of how people being responsible and self-reliant and working and saving is being destroyed by the liberal/Democratic view that everyone can just ask government for anything they need - and, they don't need to work or pay for it! Someone else will provide.)
