How long did the radical right ACTUALLY think they could keep pulling the wool over the American electorate? Sweet suffering succotash! This country is moving to the left out of self-defense; the ravening beast of corporatism is threatening to devour it, enabled by the unclean Republicans.

And, no, you're not EVER going to see a suggestion from me as to how to pay the really rather minimal expense of single-payer healthcare. I freely admit I don't know enough about economics to even make an uneducated guess...but if we can fund a filthy Oil War and a missile defense system that HASN'T WORKED YET, I think we ought to be able to cobble together a few billion to get it off the ground. I only know that what we're doing now--which is, in essence, privatizing healthcare--isn't working and more of the same is only likely to accentuate the problem.
