Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Perhaps you have misinterpreted the quote. Is it possible that this young person is referring to those who view welfare as not only their due, but a permanent way of life? Quite different from...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Well said, my friend. Corporate welfare is just as insidious.

Re your previous post on education - it's nice that we can be in agreement from time to time.

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

It's hard to find a country that doesn't at least make an attempt to provide for its common defense. Since my mention of the U.S. Constitution appears to have offended you, let's leave that aside. ...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Yes. We should not be funding schools which consistently deliver bad outcomes. No parent should be forced to send their child to such an institution. That is why I favor a no strings attached...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

One of the few things granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution is providing for the common defense of the nation. This is an appropriate role for government.

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Money alone is not a reliable indicator of the kind of education children receive. It is not uncommon to find places with the least expenditure per student having far better results than others who...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

You can't insure health. Insurance is meant to provide a cushion against the unexpected and catastrophic. As I have previously stated, the whole nature of insurance changes and is no longer...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Unlike others on this thread you have grasped the gist of it. In actuality, we do fund local schools with property taxes. The biggest percentage of my annual property tax bill is for education. ...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Back in those days I was too young to understand the ramifications. Besides, as my sister, a retired school teacher, would tell you, things have deteriorated considerably since she entered the...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Apparently, you don't read your own newspapers which, over the years, have chronicled a litany of abuses in the NHS. And government-run healthcare does not provide access to equal care. The...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Are you being deliberately obtuse? I think my earlier posts should have been sufficient for you to grasp the point I am making. I am NOT opposed to LOCAL communities using taxpayer dollars to...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

My parents, were they stlll living, would get a chuckle out of your inquiry as to whether or not they were people of means. Heck, no.

I attended schools in Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington and...

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Re: who is this Daniel Hannan guy

Back in the 90's, my parents' Labor MP told me that it did not matter which party was elected to office, there would never be enough money for the NHS. This is the reality you must face. Once the...
