Imagine if you had a clue. Somebody always has to pay when we lack all that stuff. Guess who that is? -
Lol, so all this other “stuff” just falls out of the sky with no expense. There is a reason Warren withheld the overall cost of Medicare for all. Ask her how that turned out. Couple that with free pre K, college, school meals, and all the other proposed socialist programs and we will end up in food lines. How do expect seniors to not work at CVS when just one socialist program, Medicare, will cost more than Social Security alone or current Medicare and Medicaid combined. Just one program!!! There’s liberal fantasy and the real world.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
“Warren’s estimate is considerably lower than most projections for a single-payer system, as her team acknowledged in its own analysis of the plan. Even at a flat $20 trillion, such a plan would cost more than the federal government now spends on Social Security alone or on Medicare and Medicaid combined. Estimates from the nonpartisan Rand Corporation, the conservative-leaning Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and the center-left Urban Institute have each placed the 10-year cost of a single-payer plan at $31 trillion to $34 trillion.”Comment

Draft dodging Trump said he will bring our troops home and take the U.S. out of Middle East affairs. America is no safer after Soleimani's assasination and now the U.S. is spending millions to send troops to the Middle East to protect against the threat of Iran retaliation.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Soleimani has always caused a threat but we did not take out in the past because it would cause more attacks. We are in much greater threat today than before he was assasinated. Does Iran have reason to take out Trump or other Americans? Will Toughman Trump take out N. Korea's leader next?Comment

A President who starts a war without consulting Congress to try to overshadow his Impreachment is very weak. Other countries have no respect for Trump and America.Comment

Using one small example, here's what happens when we don't invest in healthcare for all.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
When people have affordable healthcare, they get check ups and routine diagnostic care. This preventative medicine catches diseases and conditions sooner when they are less expensive to treat and/or cure.
When people do not have affordable healthcare, they do not have access to preventative healthcare and use the ER as their primary care physician. By the time they feel so bad they go to the ER, they generally have a disease or condition more expensive to treat and/or cure.
BUT
Said person, does not have the money to pay the ER/hospital bills. So guess what the hospital does? Yep, passes that expense on to the people who do have the means to pay.
Here's a bonus one for you.
Bright, but impoverished person can't afford college. Cobbles together a living with a couple of low-paying part-time jobs. Works 50-60+ hours a week, but nowhere that offers benefits to part-time workers. Tries to save up for retirement, but even living on a shoestring budget, has less and less to set aside as prices rise exponentially faster than wages do. Ends up on food stamps while the company he works for gets corporate tax breaks.
Guess who pays for that? Yep, our taxes pay for this person's public assistance for years when a college degree might have avoided all of that down the road.
I won't even get in to the issues of living wages and corporate welfare, but I suspect you might get the point.
Not investing in people up front is just kicking the can down the road. It's like ignoring the oil change and maintenance on your car and then bitching when it costs an arm and a leg to replace a blown engine and useless transmission.
The Republican way may keep more money in your pocket now (well, so you think), but costs way more in the long run.Comment

Starts a war? Hey dumbass, who attacked our embassy and shot down our drones first? When you attack the US embassy, you just picked a fight. Trump doesn’t need permission in the event of an immediate threat only an act of war. Remember what happened to Ambassador Steven? You’re pathetic! I’m so glad you pussies aren’t running this country. You’d probably send a plane to Iran with millions of dollars so they won’t hurt us. Wait, what?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Trump clearly ordered the attack without consulting any experts or thinking through the consequences. He tells Pompeo to go on the Sunday talk shows to claim we are safer, while simultaneously ordering thousands of new troops to the middle east and raising alert levels at every overseas military base. Says he intends to hit cultural targets while his spokespeople desperately try to walk that back to avoid accusations of war crimes.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Every country in the world knows this was a distraction technique by an impeached president. It will be years before anybody else, allies or adversaries, trusts the U.S. again.Comment

Sorry, what makes you think there was an imminent threat? Surely you're not taking the word of a pathological liar with over 15,000 documented false or misleading statements in 3 years.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
When members of both parties on the Senate or House Intelligence committees confirm there was an imminent threat, I'll agree that the attack was justified. Why do you think that hasn't happened yet?Comment

^ let alone the supposed "intel" that we're supposed to believe when all Trump has done is say everyone in "the deep state" is out to get him and we shouldn't believe the men and women who have dedicated their careers to this country.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This is what can happen when our embassies are attacked. Yep, no imminent threat at all. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. How soon you libtards forget. Yeah, let’s wait and let Congress figure it out like with impeachment while they’re attacking our embassy. 😂. Thank God Trump is in charge!!! I couldn’t imagine what it’d be like with all you Iranian apologists running things.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Gee, wonder how Trump knew the target was at the airport without any help from his intel agencies. I wish you could see how stupid you sound. It would be life altering!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The intel on Soleimani's whereabouts was obviously accurate. Nobody is questioning that.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Hey Trump supporters, why hasn't the Trump administration showed the bi-partisan Gang of Eight the intelligence proving the imminent threat? Why open yourself up the Wag the Dog accusations if you were on solid ground? Hmmmm
