Thing is, people who are against social services and say they cost too much money are often the same kind of people who go at great lengths to ignore the military budget; ie: the cost of funding imperialist wars around the world.
@STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE Why would you presume I would think ppl should be given everything by their government? Seems that just because I questioned your views you presume that I am a complete lefty. Government should be kept to a minimum no matter what type of politics it runs on.
@Cade57 and, everything I cited in my comments was true and no one can refute it not even you. Everything I said is factually correct and that is why stings so bad for the idealist who thinks peace can exist by thought and everyone can have everything provided to them by their government. When it all collapses, the world is left to Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea who are horrible governments and would cut your throat in a millisecond if needed. Enjoy your freedom today for tomorrow?????????
@Cade57 socialism can not last for hundreds of years. It has been around since WWII? In terms of free healthcare, that is what is driving the debts and other programs. Maybe a few nordic nations are doing well but look at their population size and demographic. The facts are Ireland, Spain, France, Greece, and you nation UK, are in big trouble and my nation has not learned from the errors of your nation. Obama believes in socialism and denies it but he is a socialist. Your govt is socialist. ciao
@Cade57 uh, mate, if you reside in the UK then that is a socialist government when I last checked, right? and, if I recall, your nation is pulling away from its socialist programs also because of the unsustainable costs? Basically, almost all of the socialist governements in europe are in trouble. The only reason your nation is not in as bad as shape is you did not go with the Euro and minimized the damage to the UK economy. I watched your debates for Prime Minister so mate I am aware of the UK
@STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE Well congrats on the big long response, but when you reply without even checking my location it sorta fails. Your fed, your dollars mate. My Sterling are bailing out Greece and now Ireland too. I am not socialist, I am not lefty, I think France is softy state and they should be made to work properly.
and, everything I said is proven by facts. I did not make up any numbers and it is all correct. When the united states govt spends two trillion dollars to help the economy and health care results in premiums going up, over a hundred major employers receiving waivers from it, and the shovel ready stimulus that never happed never stimulate the economy but instead was the noditch bill? In govt, One trillion and almost 15% unemployment rate is a success. In the real world, you get fired as ceo!
@Cade57 That was the dem controlled house and senate. Yes, bush was president in 2007 but since pelosi became speaker of the house in 01/2007, five trillion dollars added to the debt. bush was a big spender. Obama is a bigger spender. he alone has added almost three trillion to the debt since he enterd office. You have a boner for socialism so admit it. On paper, it sounds good. Look to europe and the its failures including health care reform and stimuwaste bill...you are served and owned..haha!
@tackman06 The key benefit I'm seeing here is, that if you get cancer, you won't have to sell your house.
