If you are a MD and you earn the same or nearly the same amount weather you see 8 patients a day or 24 how hard would you work ?

Even worse, a lot of the expensive components are made outside the US which is excellent for your trade deficit.
On the other hand the infrastructure in the US could use some attention, powerlines, fibretechnology, bridges public roads etc. Oddly enough there seems to no cash left for those - although it would improve wealth, support growth and even rewards you with a ROI.
Seriously - wtf? There seems to an issue with setting priorities right.
