I'll use healthcare. I'd love universal healthcare! It would be totally kickass if everyone could be taken care of all the time no matter what.

I dislike the precedence of government having that much power.
"A government with enough power to give you everything you need is powerful enough to take everything you have."
Not sure if I got the quote 100%, but that's Thomas Jefferson if I remember correctly.

Imagine if we only worried about the problems we could control how legitimately great we could make our country. Then imagine what that great country could do for other nations, not only in assistance, but by leading example.

We are a legitimately great nation. We ARE the top country in foreign aid, in economic aid. We are the largest exporter of food. We basically fund the entire UN. Most UN endeavors are led by the United States in some capacity. Whenever disaster hits another country, the United States is usually #1 in amount of aid sent.
