I already wrote that I can’t wait to see the new Michael Moore movie–the following clips show why. Especially pay attention to the Colbert video: if we had universal health insurance, we wouldn’t be in the middle of this economic crisis right now.

So I made this movie to do a number of things. One, to just go head on at this system. I’m not a reformer. I’m not looking for Congress to pass a few new regulations, which, by the way, it’s been a year since the crash, and they haven’t passed one of these things, which is what they said they were going to do right away, right? “All we need is a few rules. Don’t get rid of capitalism, just a few rules, and we’ll get everything back in shape.” Of course, they have no intention of doing that, and the banking industry has lobbied them successfully over the last year to leave them alone so that they can keep doing their crazy schemes. That’s one reason.

I wonder what the politicians (and my Libertarian friends) response to that assertion is.
