What is the status quo in the Taiwan Strait?

A. Look we are in debt up to our eyeballs !!! The fed government cant even fund the entitlement programs they have now such as medic aide, social security , education and SCHIP. And some nit wits want to pile so called "free health care" on top of it all. Does that make any economic sense to you ? Lets get spending and government under control balance the budget cut taxes , un needed agencies and programs then maybe we can afford "free health care".
