I'm sure it's not as bad as I typed it, and I hate looking like some paranoid kook. heh
The problem I see is trying to implement it. Whoa boy...people are used to what we have and trying to change it would be scary for them. But I don't see that happening any time soon.
Anyway, on to other topics that I brought up in here.
Obama won a platform of change. So even though it may be have been "scary for them" people wanted something other than status quo. More Americans are in favour of health care than opposed to it and many wanted more than what was implemented.
The long and short of it is, we all want to be happy, healthy and taken care of. And government has a role to play in making this happen for its citizens.
Well sure people wanted change. And that's what I'm asking in my original post.
Are those who voted for him and exclaimed him the next big change here in the US happy?
I don't see any change here, but that's just me. That's why I asked.
Part of me wonders about this "taken care of" part. Sure, retirement and medical costs would be nice not to have to worry about it. But there is only so much I would want to government to "take care of" for me.
Taken care of = social services, education, health care, infrastructure, fire, police, retirement = responsible government. As previously stated, we cannot barter this stuff for a chicken. We pay taxes and trust the government to administer the programs appropriately. Indeed, it can always be done better, but not doing it, is a crime.
We're like MicroSoft now... too big, unstructured, lumbering and unable to extricate ourselves from any quagmire. Every time a question is asked... 23 parties have to be involved.

I agree with the quagmire example. And because of that very little gets done. It does, however, keep politicians in a job.
As far as I can tell the GOP is always claiming government is too big. Why don't they/didn't they do something about it?
The only thing I see that they really care about is abortion, gay rights, god, immigration and no taxes for the wealthy.
