[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1226124, member: 42270"] Personality flaws don't really bother me in elected leaders because -- quite frankly -- someone needs to be a bit of a narcissist to run for national office. Lyndon Johnson had one of the most narcissistic personalities in presidential history (quick anecdote: he gave everything, including his daughters and his wife's nickname, the same initials he had: "LBJ".. he even named his dog "Little Beagle Johnson") but did more for working people than any president since FDR. Granted, he sent thousands of their sons to die in Vietnam, but still.. An incremental increase/greater expansion of Medicare would have worked so much better. Rolling it back from 65 to 55, then to 50, then 45 while raising the "floor" to qualify for benefits would have done so much more than throwing government money at health insurance companies, who spent most of the last two or three decades making billions by letting thousands of Americans die who otherwise might have survived with proper care.
