Well, it's true. The whole system is messed up. Good luck overhauling it though. Healthcare is a massive industry that employs millions of people.

Chris Christie must be getting bored of hearing about bridges.

If you believe that, Puck has a bridge to sell you.

Of course the media is out to get him. He's the only republican with a good shot at 2016.

All of you under the age of 30: you're stupid and you don't know what you're talking about.

It's almost as if several million people have conflicting views.

I thought it was common knowledge that young people are politically freaking retarded

Which is why most people on these boards likely tend to agree with them on most political issues

[Badger]

There's a faulty implication that the same (or equally silly) contradictions don't exist in every age group.

You are living proof of that statement. Now shut up and freak off out of this thread until you've turned 30.

Say what you want, but the political views described in that article sounds far more like you than me.

Some of them. Did you actually read the article, or did you just read "blah blah blah liberal bad"?

People tend to mature throughout their 20s, and their political views are no different. I was a borderline communist in HS, became a right wing nut in college, but steadily became more and more libertarian as I got older.

meh I dont know if I buy it.

Sure people in their 20s are naive morons

But so are people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

You still got people on the left who are grown derriere adults that think everything happening right now is Bushes fault and Obama is the greatest president ever

And people on the right who still think the rapture is coming, and that anyone who doesnt praise jesus is evil as well

People are insane, irrational, idiots at all ages and sides of the spectrum.

now the stupidity might change from social issues, to healthcare and finances as they get older

But its still stupidity
