Our failure to invest in health and education is shameful

I am amazed and shocked at how instead of leading the world in regards to our health care system we have no national system. We should be hanging our head in shame that we can find the money to wage war against two insignificant nations but we cannot find the money to invest in health and education.

Great nations are not built on the force of arms, empires are and all empires eventually decline. We have the chance to maintain and improve our status as a great nation setting the standards and leading the world rather then an empire trying to order the world.
