You could count through your whole life (day and night) and never get to the billions, nay trillions, which are now owed by me, you, us, companies, governments, sovereign nations to - well, to whom exactly? That's the other thing that does one's head in. Not to mention what happens if we don't pay i ...

Just finished reading Tom Naughton's Debate With A Leftist Pal, Part Nine. I enjoyed it as usual. I wanted to highlight one of Tom's closing paragraphs.

Finance woe 'will prompt major NHS revamp'. Time after time it has been shown that governments cannot run healthcare, yet, people still push to have it happen. Financial difficulties will force NHS services in England to undergo major reorganisations which could hit the poorest the hardest, MPs say. ...

The problem as I see it exists from the highest levels of our government, all the way down. ...

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch! You tell him Tom! I've really been enjoying this series of articles. Debate With A Leftist Pal, Part Seven I do not understand why so many people just can't seem to grasp the concept. It's not "free". Someone is going to have to pay the piper, and not to mi ...

John Naughton points out that TANSTAAFL still applies, even to “free” services on the internet like Facebook and Twitter: Physics has Newton’s first law (“Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state ...
