10. what i love most of all is whenever
the topic of universal healthcare came up over the years, the requisite answer was "It will bankrupt the treasury! There isn't enough money!!!!"

we need to whip up the country in the same fearmongering state about the national consequences for EVERY american if we DON'T fund a national health plan....
