I Think Freedom Means Freedom

You Know, I've Got Experiences Going Back To The Wage Price Controls In The Nixon Administration Where, In Effect, We Had What I Think Was A Terrible Mistake, In That Case A Republican Administration, Where Moved In And Tried To Control The Wages, Prices And Profits Of Every Enterprise In America. It Was A Huge Mistake.

...and While Everybody Was Tremendously Impressed With The Low Cost Of The Conflict, For The 146 Americans Who Were Killed In Action And For Their Families, It Wasn't A Cheap War. And The Question In My Mind Is How Many Additional American Casualties Is Saddam Worth? And The Answer Is Not Very Damned Many.

I Did My 40 Years In Washington, 40-plus, And It's Time To Pause And Reflect And Think About What I've Seen And Done.

Obviously, It's A Big Problem How Do We Provide Quality Care To The Maximum Number Of People. And It's Not An Easy Problem To Solve.

Principle Is Ok Up To A Certain Point, But Principle Doesn't Do Any Good If You Lose.
