All AAA rated countries have

BTW, not voting.... is a choice in this country.

of course there will be more...

the number of countries with socialized medicine greatly outweighs the number of countries without it. also, somewhat struggling to see the direct correlation between the two. sure, it's a factor but by no means is the medical system the only contributing factor to this rating.

Those who don't vote don't have a choice. Which is the majority of the country, IIRC. Both sides insist on imposing their point of view.

How about the children not old enough to vote who
are going to get saddled with another expensive
program they will effectively be enslaved by??

BTW, not all countries that have socialized medicine
have AAA ratings, so your analogy is laughable.

In a related issue:

A mystery investor or hedge fund reportedly made a bet
of almost $1billion at odds of 10/1 last month that the
U.S. would lose its AAA credit rating. Now questions are
being asked of whether the trader had inside information before placing the $850million bet in the futures market.

There are mounting rumours that investor George Soros,
80, famously known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of
England’, could be involved. He made more than $1billion
on currency speculation when the British pound left the
Exchange Rate Mechanism on Black Wednesday in 1992.

And you know who Soros supports, yep that's right
Barack Hussein Obama.
