Americans have long resisted socialism. This includes Hillary Clinton's attempt at socialized medicine in the 1990's. The current brouhaha in Congress is just another attempt to expand same by piecemeal methods. I think President Bush was wise to veto this bill. We have spent not millions or billions but TRILLIONS of dollars on the poor since Lydon Johnson's "Great Society" programs were launched in the 1960's. Anyone who thinks these have been a rousing success haven't been paying attention. People who fall under the current government income guidelines are hardly impoverished.....not to mention that they want to cover "children" up to the age of 25. I am also quite sure that a great many of these people will be illegal aliens.
