“Chris” called today and asked Jay Severin if this country has the best police forces in the world. (Yes.) Do we have the best firefighters in the world? (Yes.) Then why the great concern over government involvement in health care, Chris asks. And aren’t police and fire departments examples of socialism?
Jay was clearly uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation, so he tried to make it sound that Chris’s question was so absurd that there was no way to respond to it, and Chris was sent packing.
Perhaps a Severin defender would like to use this space to explain exactly why complete governmental over our foreign and domestic defense services are perfectly fine and not at all “socialist” whereas the slightest government intervention in health care is socialist, dangerous, and stupid?
