re: #692 Obdicut

No again, how the hell could I possibly know how to fix one woman’s case when I know nothing about what she did to get where she is. Again you’re saying here is a full blown problem, fix it you naysayer. I’m saying that’s stupid because you have to deal with it as a system, and ask, how can we prevent people from getting to that point. I don’t know what the answer is, I’ve just recommended that we cut back waste because of the numerouse anecdotes of waste and fraud in the system that I know of. This is a really weak form of argument that if I don’t know how to fix one woman’s problems, or other people who are like her, then what? What happens next? It’s patently stupid to expect one person has the answer to a problem that is so endemic to the system. It’s like a massive dam about to break and you’re quibbling with me over how I’m supposed to fix this one crack that’s an inch wide. What point are you proving by hammering on Cato’s neighbor’s case. There is no point there. I can’t solve her and the country’s problem, therefore… (Fill in the … for me please.)
