题目: Re: Why are you and others trying to steer USA to what you think is good and proper?

GTCharlie: It's not just those outside the USA, Clinton's wife tried when Clinton was in power to get reform sorted on healthcare..... but those lobbying on behalf of healthcare firms paid out millions in backhanders to keep your current system. I even heard a rumour that Hilary even had a price and got bought off, as in shut up and don't rock the gravy boat.

Various other Presidents have tried, but American businesses have protected their interests .... I still remember the case of Nixon being persuaded to delay seatbelt legislation, as the cost of fitting belts upset the manufacturers.

No-one wants the USA to fail (not any sane person anyway) ... The ramifications of a USA gone nutz or under is a terrible thought.....not sure how much is taught in the USA re Euro history...but we've seen plenty of countries go through hell from some sort of collapse... the last very big case was Germany through the after treaties of WWI..

.. That led to Hitler......
