Matt Yglesias, a blogger for the liberal Center for American
Progress,
cites Soviet-era life expectancy data to argue that, "the
dread U.S.S.R. actually did a perfectly decent job of providing
the sort of goods—health care, basic education, subways, nuclear
missiles, vast prison camps, satellite launch vehicles—that in
most democracies are provided by the state."
And yet it would be a "scare tactic" for me to argue that
liberals favor government-run health care.
Once again we get the "Cuba has excellent literacy and health
care canard."
Since when is crapping in buckets excellent health care?

"vast prison camps"
I have heard about those great prison camps in communist
countries. I bet the USSR had some of the best ones along with
Cambodia. Their efficiency probably rivaled those great prison
camps of NAZI Germany.
Only an institution like Center for American Progress could tout
those prison camps and link them to great life expectancy. What a
bunch of idiots. I bet they would like those vast prison camps
here in the USA for us conservatives.

Those who really believe in "Global Warming" (not just the ones
trying to scare people to raise money and increase their
power/control) would love that: Fewer people = less 'dangerous'
CO2.
