Reply #38: What value is the Left? define the problem to be solved [View All]

[Jose Diablo]

The value of any point on the political spectrum has more to do with the problem thats to be solved and what is considered important.

For example, if you define the problem of health care as how to maximize profit with a given cost, then what we have today is the best system.

However, if you define the problem as providing the best health care for the most people at a given cost, then the Left view to provide health care via social method for providing the cash is better.

You could say the same thing for any number of problems.

Another example would be how can we get across that river. What will be the economic method to obtain the cash to build a bridge and after the bridge is built, how much will be charged to use the bridge. Every political view will have a different view.

The real question is, what do we consider the important things to consider in the problem to be solved.
