Saw a great meme.  Picture of about a 5 yr old girl.. And at the top it says, My little brother ate all the scrabble tiles... And at the bottom,  And his sh~t makes more sense than Alexander

It’s to be expected.  While the average Marxist peasant lives from day to day, the leaders (Politburo) live high on the hog.  And ain’t it a good thing too.  Bernie and this wee lassie are used to bet

Let me tackle the first one:  In a sense, healthcare is universal.  You work, then you get it or you can pay for it.  Oh -- wait -- you are talking about SOMEONE else paying for peoples healthcare.  It's amazing how the folks on your side are free with MY money!  And what bother's me about it -- is your side has no shame in advocating it!!

Maybe she will come up with nobody paying income tax. Then people could actually live off of minimum wage and afford their own healthcare. What could be more wonderful. No one would need college. We could all work at McDonald's! The government could function off of liquor, cigarette, gasoline, and other assorted “hidden” taxes, including the 70% tax on your $10 millionth dollar.

Funny, my boss walked in our breakroom and caught me playing on my telephone. I told him I was unwilling to work and guess what, he fired me. Seems he didn't understand the new mentality. I am gonna sick AOC on his arse. That will show him.

UT alum,

How is it that I have lived my entire life and never had or felt a need for any of those three ideologies that you look to your leaders to provide?

Constitution says promote the general welfare, not mine. Those are three areas that, when unchecked, can degrade the general welfare.

"General Welfare" is , very much, a relative term.  I am sure that gun control is viewed by some as promoting the general welfare.  Seems like we have survived the last couple hundred years( during which this country became a great place) without universal healthcare.

That’s why congress is a deliberative body.

Could we possibly be a greater place with universal access to healthcare? I think yes.

You think workplace safety or workers’ compensation arose naturally from the free market? I don’t.

You think rivers and air would be cleaner if the guv’mint kept its hands off? I don’t.

Then you are stating that Canada is/ and has been a greater nation than the U.S. ?  I do not disagree on workplace safety but to what extent does "safety" need to be legislated?  Would that mean every house and building be made of asbestos so as not to have fires?  If so, I would love to see a cost/benefit analysis.

With the exception of the military -- what has the government done right?  Have you seen the debt lately?  Unfunded liabilities are over 100 TRILLION dollars.

Here's another one for you.  Concerning socialized medicine:  Do you think that the socialist that will be in control of this socialized medicine will be put under the umbrella of socialized medicine like the rest of us?  Or do you think it'll be just for us and not them?   Remember -- Castro was rich when the people were starving!

Canada has better health outcomes. CIA World Facebook and WHO has good data backing this up.

I don’t know what asbestos houses have to do with workplace safety.

How do you figure military got it right buying $1000 hammers? 

I got to give a shout out to the interstate highway system, national air traffic control, clean air and water systems. A lot of this stuff is contracted out to private industry, but government designs and oversees the projects like any owner. I imagine the Erie Canal was a feather in the government’s cap back in the day. SBA has helped a lot of entrepreneurs. Block grants to states have helped build sanitary systems and transportation systems. It ain’t all bad, Reagan. Anywhere you got gobs of monkey there’ll be corruption, whether it be private or public. Anywhere you got large numbers of employees there will be bureaucracy, private or public. It ain’t us vs them - we all in this together.

Yeah, this is what I want in healthcare.

From the article:

The total wait time that patients face can be examined in two consecutive segments.

From referral by a general practitioner to consultation with a specialist. The waiting time in this segment increased from 9.4 weeks in 2016 to 10.2 weeks this year. This wait time is 177% longer than in 1993, when it was 3.7 weeks. The shortest waits for specialist consultations are in Ontario (6.7 weeks) while the longest occur in New Brunswick (26.6 weeks).

From the consultation with a specialist to the point at which the patient receives treatment. The waiting time in this segment increased from 10.6 weeks in 2016 to 10.9 weeks this year. This wait time is 95% longer than in 1993 when it was 5.6 weeks, and more than three weeks longer than what physicians consider to be clinically “reasonable” (7.2 weeks). The shortest specialist-to-treatment waits are found in Ontario (8.6 weeks), while the longest are in Manitoba (16.3 weeks).

      It’s kinda weird…

      Ok, just for fun, list the Trump policies / actions that make him as dirty and immoral as they come. Please don't use the democrat talking points, actual actions that make him dirty, that never seemed to show up UNTIL he was President. And without a doubt you have swallowed the orange man bad koolaid unlike some of us that can dislike the guy and still not make him the worst thing walking, but that seems to be your way, all one way or the other in a debate. 🙂

      I STRONGLY disagree with this assertion, and you're just making my point for me by trying to say that Biden's corruption is somehow way worse than Trump's with a straight face.  Trump's politics (or at least the politics that suit him) just align with mine significantly more than Biden's.  They're two peas in a pod, but on different sides of the aisle.  I'm sure if I was a diehard conservative all of his issues would seem like minor indiscretions or witch hunts, and if I was a rabid liberal old Sleepy Joe would seem like a strong president who didn't really do much wrong.  But yeah, bless my heart for not swallowing the orange koolaid

      No one that I know is stumping for Trump because he's the poster boy of integrity, they simply know he's the best choice BY FAR between the two and has been the victim of ridiculous witch hunts since before he was President, that's what folks have a problem with, the crooked lying democrats, but folks like to make it more about Trump than the real problem. And to state that Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come is ridiculous, I don't like him either but he isn't close to being as corrupt as the crime family in the White House, and you know it. As far as hating on CB, not at all, but he has been ate up with TDS for a while now and it sounds like it may be wearing off on you a little bit, lol.   Bless your hearts!

      Newton will also have a lot of size, strength, and experience up front. That will probably be the most significant advantage vs Woodville

      There's a lot of irony in this post.  You're right, if he was a lefty the liberals wouldn't say a word. But because he's a republican, the righteous right is giving Trump a hard pass on stuff that they've absolutely bombed the left for doing for as long as I've been alive, and are actually feigning indignation about the left criticizing his behavior.  Y'all can hate CB all you want, but he's correct on this one.  the conservative outrage over the left's character assassinations of Trump is hilarious.  Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come, and it's a real mind bender watching conservative Christians stump so hard for him, especially when Christian values and morality has supposedly been the backbone of the republican party all this time.  And as always, I'll put in my disclaimer that I thought he did a decent job as president and will be voting for him in the election, so nobody throws TDS at me.
