@ABSpryteCube You're so right its sad, really--because the bad parts of the system have basically co-opted the populist impulse against them, to the point where people get sucked into supporting "reforms" which do little more than entrench the same interests they're meant to displace. Fucking lawyers...

@thereinliestherib Fiscal responsibility hasn't worked for the past 3 decades, and sure as hell won't work now, education, regulation of food industries, striking down the lobbies, putting more money on healthcare, less on the fucking 500 billion dollar military budget all these are KEY to ending our problem

Thankfully, Ron Paul will disappear LONG before any popular healthcare programs like Obamacare, Medicare, or Social Security disappear.

@ABSpryteCube I will grant you this though--the corn, potato, and soda lobbies are predominantly responsible for creating economic policies/subsidies to keep downward pressure on sugary crap and soft drinks, which truly is an acute example of what you're talking about. Other than that, personal choice transcends availability--if that weren't the case, then why am I not automatically fat by way of being "poor"? Because I make my own damn choices, DUH.

@ABSpryteCube That's such a load of BS--people know the consequences of their health choices, and healthy food is FAR cheaper than unhealthy junk/snacks. But of course, that's why you falsely assumed helahty food has to be expensive "organic" crap. A big reason I eat a healthy diet is for the very fact that I am poor and it is CHEAPER!!! Don't pee down my leg and tell me its raining, when a glance in anybody's shopping cart these days shows only unhealthy garbage.

@Premier112 I salute you sir

@thereinliestherib I don't mean to lecture you but it's more complex...Why are Americans so unhealthy? the reason why is because it is much cheaper to buy an order of Kentucky fried chicken, McDonald's, burger king, etc. then buy healthy ORGANIC food, for the poor this is the difference...the lobbyists in this Country are what ruin our health, did you know that in public schools PIZZA is considered a VEGETABLE? some people in our country SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD TO BE HEALTHY!!!
@Helptheherd
Obamacare is not free. No sir. What you want is a single payer healthcare system like Vermont. With Obamacare, you still buy insurance. It doesn't control costs. It is just mandating that everybody buys insurance which in hindsight is not bad, but it won't solve the healthcare crisis. WE need a public option.
