I have often said that Bush was talked into this mess because advisors "sold" him on the value of "finishing the job" his father started and the military establishm­ent felt it ws time to give a new generation the battle experience they feel each generation needs. Off-budget wars, not Declared and unsupporte­d by Congress are a bad idea in a Democratic society.

I also agree about not negotiatin­g drug prices; absolutely a giveaway, no matter the defense of supporting drug company research. Most drugs today, many for treatment of the same group of symptoms, are for symptom relief, not cures. It is more profitable­, WAAAAAYYY more profitable­, to treat symptoms than provide cures.

Please don't include me with Republican­s, I am Independen­t.

Greece DID spend themselves into this mess with bloated public sector employees, many of whom work half-days, only a few days a week, if they show up! Others have "no-show" jobs, awarded through political influence. Greece could operate just fine with a lot less corruption and bribery, and 40% less public employes and still get vital jobs done!
