Why on earth is medicaid and medicare so screwed up?
The same reason that US soldiers are getting killed in Iraq escorting convoys of empty Haliburton trucks all over the place. The same reason that it took FEMA a week to figure out there was an emergency in New Orleans, when every person in the country not employed by the government knew it was going to happen two days beforehand.
Nepotism, corruption, ineptitude, self-serving bureaucracy. It's the end result forcing 300,000,000 people under a single government which is then selected based on popularity. Nobody cares if anything gets done, as long as they look good for the TV cameras. They can pretend that they're providing healthcare coverage for poor people. They're not. A few doctors are taking care of the poor people out of the goodness of their own hearts, but the congressmen can pretend they are on Meet the Press and that's all that really matters.

The only major threat to majors is that their monumental greed, together with OPEC's shoring up of American banks, will lead to their own demise. I imagine them proceeding lemming like, over a cliff, to the sounds of ringing cash registers.

Well, now you will enjoy the prestige of experiencing the truly unique and unprecedented collapse of civilization; this has no real historical president. Modernist artists and writers of the 20th century, were forever looking for ways to be original. Now, thanks to modern technology and democratic values, we'll all get to be original and engineer the decline of civilization!
