Economic Politics

This is something that has an interesting phenomenon to it. Have you read the NY Times this week? It is filled with Econ related articles. From Pakistan training European terrorists, to the pain killers being banned in Sierra Leone. This is in fact what I'd like to comment on.

I think it is horrible that the rest of the world doesn't get to have the same resources we do here. For all the problems our society has, we can at least get the medications we need. I felt so bad for the people in that article. Health Care is a basic human right and as such we should either demote ourselves to their level or raise them up to ours. My vote is raise them up to ours. We need to actually sit down and come up with a solution to this, because right now those with the money get all the care. This is a fundamental problem and contributes to the rise of terrorism. See people don't think these things are related to each other, but they are. Life doesn't happen in isolation.
