I get shit from the libs everytime I say this, but Hillary is the fast track to socialism.
She believes in groups and not individuals, and at the core that is where she is wrong, wrong. wrong.
Cradle to grave Federal Gov't solutions is where she would take us. I think she is the most dangerous politician in America today!

You nailed it. And this is why she scares the hell out of me. She very much believes anything important should be in the hands of the government not the people.
There are many quotes out there from her where she says people in this country need to quit thinking about themselves and work for the greater good. And there are far too many people in this country that are too narrowminded to realize this means giving up even more individualism and personal freedoms....along with a greater chunk of your hard earned money to pay for an even larger government.
I fear socialized health care is inevitable at this point. The baby boomers are aging, insurance and health care costs are out of control. Even the current working generation is getting a taste of how nasty it is not to have employer benefits with high unemployment rates and more of them being unemployed for long stretchs. Their opinions on socialized health care are being swayed.
If Hillary is elected, I would predict that is one of the first things she'd push thru. And the timing is such that it just might make her as popular as FDR's "New Deal" made him in the 30's for many of the same reasons. The masses like it when the government gives them stuff. It's that top 10% of the earners out there that really pick up the tab. Meanwhile if you keep that bottom 50% happy you'll be re-elected.
And I fear healthcare would only be the beginning....
