The issue is that despite being the single most powerful man in the country--even if he
was going to live up to that, there are two other branches of government full of politicians who will deal with lobby groups, who have connections with special interest parties, etc. Not just Republicans, not just Democrats.
And I'm not saying a Federal program is the answer, not by a long shot. The government--at every level--screws up a lot of things on a regular basis. But I'm just sick of the "Oh, SOCIALISM!" cries from people (not those in this thread) who have no idea what is actually going on, who have no facts and just complain because Fox News tells them to.
