I just never will understand why MOST people are so comfortable being out of money on Wednesday while they wait until Friday for the paycheck....

Get new friends. No one I know is 'out of money' between paychecks.

A lot of people use those payday loan places to make it until next payday. I don't know of anyone personally, but those places seem to be everywhere. Somebody's keeping them in business.

Most people? Not your words, Dixon's words.

If he/she thinks it's most people, he/she needs new friends.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Everything is relative and relative to private enterprise, government is more efficient in this sector. Which is to say that contrary to your belief, private enterprise isn't any more immune from perpetual inefficiency than government.

But inefficiency in the private sector is punished with profit losses, layoffs, and eventual bankruptcy.

The perpetual, in fact increasing, inefficiency in the private industry in the health care sector tells a different story.

I would hardly call the health sector in America a private industry.

AMA, brought to you by government.

FDA, brought to you by government.

HMO, Medicare/Medicaid, all brought to you by government.

Healthcare is probably the biggest government intervention mess of them all.

Didn't we spin on this merry-go-round already?

There are countless regulations that private enterprises have to live with. And most of them manage to run efficiently nonetheless. Except in the health care field where the private industry in the US is outperformed by any government anywhere in the world. The US health care industry is a disgrace and deserves to be tanked. Let the government run it. If the market can do better, let the competition begin.

Depends on how you define "outperformed". Profit-wise, they are doing great.

Always go through a great depression this time of year, have to total up invoices for state taxes and don't even get paid for collecting money for them, then federal taxes, then state taxes, a dog license, and property taxes.

Wasn't talking about my friends. I actually avoid the conversation with my friends - I just don't want to know. Also, in my original post, I didn't say anything about my friends... you assumed too much.

But you quantified your statement with MOST people. Was that purely anecdotal or do you have evidence to support your claim?

Oh Steven, but can you really quantify a statement like that? It was a metaphorical MOST,

like a stroll under a moonlit sky. :innocent:

Au contrare mon frare - 'most' is understood to represent a number. If you said that you just drank most of the water from your glass, no one would mistake it to mean that your glass is only half empty.

Not to be terribly pedantic - but the MOST in that statement was a "Qualifier" not a "Quantifier" :D

:P
