Our health care system, where criminals get better health care than the poor.

This is going to get even more interesting and likely... I suppose.

This comes shortly after Ithaca School's Superintendent writing a letter to Michigan Governor Snyder sardonically asking if he could make his school into a prison to quadruple his meager budget per child.

A bank had at least $1 on hand?  This is big news!

[Darvi]

He should've tried to steal more. Either he would've gotten away with it and could've paid for healthcare himself or he would've gotten even more time in jail.

[freeformschooler]

Yeah... I guess. He can always try again. This is a pretty sad story.

[Levi]

I am entertained!

Its a bad sign at the state of the world.  I'm also curious to see if this will be used as an excuse to cut things like healthcare from prisons.

[KaelGotDwarves]

I forgot to mention the darkly humourous part of the story - the bank he randomly chose to rob was a Canadian-owned bank where they actually have socialised medicine.

Dear people running this country:

Please pay attention to this sort of stuff and get your heads out of your asses =/

*sigh*

I'm pretty sad.

I think by this point that would require plastic surgery.

So wait, it is more likely to be used as a reason to remove healthcare from prisons, than to get public healthcare?
THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!

I think that by this point, they've been doing such a terrible job that they can be sent to jail and have that taken care of, if their plans don't cover life-saving procedures like the aforementioned.

Conservatives masquerading new-age Social Darwinism as fiscal sensibility.

World military spending, source.

I think you could afford it if you stopped trying to play super hero.

Being just a couple days later, I'm going to need some Snopes on this one eventually.  It wouldn't totally surprise me if the guy was actually released for being mentally incompetent to stand trial or something.  What does the state-plaintiff do when a guy wants to go to jail on purpose?

Interesting Michigan letter though.

I agree with this. Why so much military spending, US? Surely there's a way to cut down. But it just keeps going up.
