They just can't except a new world.

[old man 76]

Gone are the days when medical care was in the hands of a country doctor who may have had less then great training. They did their best but at that time it was the best most ordinary people could expect. Now we have the best you could ask for and every one should be able to receive the same care. Also gone are the poor farms where the old, poor and disabled were sent to live or die under hash conditions. All children have the opportunity for the best education not just a few years of the three R. The old republican notion that the working people should never have more money then they needed to survive one week because if they had more it would ruin the economy is gone. The Republicans want those day back. No matter how they spin it that is the end plan. If shutting down the government is the only way they see to accomplish this end then they will do it. Why because the republicans would rather destroy the country then except the new world.
