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).

    • Sen. Tom Cotton was talking about all the tents set up at the Ivy League schools. Poor college stundents are so poor they scream to have the debt "forgiven" (transferred to us) but suddenly hundreds of brand new $500 tents show up. That Soros money does a lot.

    • The Bible prophesied the destruction and restoration of Israel and the gathering back of God’s people. I don’t know about the purity of the twelve tribes, but God’s word is true regardless of how man interprets it. God says he will bless those the support Israel. Many consider Israel bullies because they don’t agree with the magnitude of their defense towards their attackers. The Old Testament is full of God’s support of the annihilation of their enemies.  
    • Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!
    • Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
