• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Not if they are administered properly. If we get some sort of administration decree of who can be part of the exchange you are correct. If instead the exchange is set up to more clearly explain the elements of what you can buy and helps with comparison shopping so to speak then it can serve a useful purpose.

If it does go that route, I hope we can at least keep the exchanges. Some more competition and better-informed customers couldn't hurt.

They already existed before the government tried to start them.

Why is it now necessary for the government to manage them?
