Just know how screwed up it left Canada and Obamacare is just a huge tax

healthcare is cheaper and more affordable than canada's right?

Nothing is free. That is a fleabag fantasy. The question is who and
how it is paid for.


and yet you think american healthcare is free.


Never said it was. But you can change providers if one isn't servicing
your needs.


really? can you?

tell you what. find me someone here in the US w/o health insurance

who can change his provider, OK?


The results are much higher service levels than you see in
Canada. You have more MRIs, you get surgery faster...less likely to die
waiting.


and how long do you wait in americ a w/o insurance?

and where's the proof that 'longer waits' have ANY effect on
healthcare?


meanwhile milions dont have it in the US.


For many it is about priorities.


the right wing bull**** continues. a cliche lin lieu of the facts

guess he doesnt know that.e


I do. I lived in a rental, neighbors told us their experience. Skipped
HC for decades, going to Greece, Italy, Spain, China...every year some
place new. Then he needed a bypass and they had to sell the house.
They had the money.


ah. he comes up with a little readers digest bull**** story about why
the middle class needs to be dstroyed. we're all lazy you see....only
the guys on wall street work hard


Don't get me wrong, I am not against universal health care. I just have
a huge gripe on how it is implemented and run. Ends up being a greedy
government tax grab if your not careful. And rationing sets in even
though they don't talk about it. Even preferences, politicians first,
then workers, the old folks get idle time.


let's see. in america

govt run healthcare....medicare...is MORE efficient and less costly
than PRIVATE heathcare

but the facts dont deter the right

and the right wing IGNORES the fact WE HAVE RATIONING in the US

he's completely unwaware of the fact WE RATION HEALTHCARE


Yep, an no line ups and the best care. We have no choice, government
took it away from in hyper-taxation.


HAHAHAHA the best care?

proof?


Lots. If health care is so great in Canada, why would a premier got to
Florida? What better proof of that do you need.


a reader's digest anecdote in lieu of a response...typical of the
right


well...none. none at all. life expectancy is higher in many countries
like japan with socialized medicine

but he has his fantasies

and line? uh...how long do you wait in the US if you have no
insurance?


No clue, I always was with aid up insurance. But agree here, if
cocaine, heroin and/or booze is more important than your family, why
waste resources on you?


more attacks on the middle class...also typical of the right...


For Canada, health care tuned out to be a government tax grab.


and yet it works


Marginally. But the coverage is crap. Most people purchase additional
coverage anyways. You have to, $2600/year in my case. Just to make up
for what government does not cover. Like travel abroad. Private room
so I don't share with 12 others.


no response about why healthcare in canada s as good as in the
US...even though it's cheaper...


in the US it's an insurance grab. govt medcial care is better AND
cheaper than the free market


Doubt it. Just fleabagger bull****.


HAHAHAHA

let's see...he's right wing so has NO CLUE about FACTS. he makes up
BULL**** and doesnt even know he's WRONG!! he has his MYTHS so the
facts dont matter. that's WHY he's right wing

let's look at US vs canadian healthcare costs, shall we?

http://dailydish.typepad.com/.a/6a00...a62f970c-popup

Remember, I lived there for 10
years and used the system twice for myself. Busted rib and a case of
fly fishing elbow, bursitis (sp?). Know of others, work buddy. US is
consistently faster and in most cases better..


and he comes up with a nice little reader's digest bull**** story.
he's wrong. he wont let facts get in his way. he's coppletely WRONG

but he's right wing so is totally stupid

Don't believe the government numbers.


HAHAHAHA they reported the ppi went up 0.8% in april. he believed THAT

NOW the numbers are all wrong!

ROFLMAO. that's EXACTLY how the right wing operates!


Find a government CPI and check
out cars, homes, gold, silver even flour say from 1914. You will find
CPI is bogus. Keeps unions happy to BS them down. Ponzi number, make
you think a 2.5% raise is good if they tell you inflation s 2%.


unions??

the US HAS NO UNIONS!! HAHAHAHAA


and the teabaggers think we have to cut taxes on the rich because
their income only went up 500% in the last 30 years.

and federal taxes are at a 40 year low

but the right knows none of this


Tax reciepts are but not net tax load. Because over 20% are unemployed
and company are not making money like they used too. No profit, no/low
wages means less taxes.


companies are not making money???? HAHAHAHA the right winger doesnt
realzie that corporate profits are the HIGHEST IN HISTORY!!

ROFLMAO. EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS WRONG.

THAT is why he's right wing!

really? then why do countries that have strong unions have strong

You mean like Japan? Lets examine that.

Unions in Japan DEMAND loyalty or management will not run you off, the
unions will. Unions are also responsible in helping management make a
modest, sustainable profit, and to address employee issues. Hell, they
are more like a HR department than a union.


let's see. let's look at germany, shall we?

30% unionized work force

unemployment is 7% vs 9% here

their manufacturing base is stronger. as it is with much of the OECD.



CEOs are expected to resign when they lay off people for issues not
involving the laid off persons performance. And very rare to see a CEO
get paid more than 10 times the lowest wage they pay.


yep. and here in the good ol' free market US, CEO's get HUNDREDS of
times what the average worker gets


Strikes rare too. As government will step in and tell the unions to get
back to work or quit if demands are not reasonable for the type of work.

You do know socialist worker unions started the Nazi movement right?


uh...no they didnt. you lying sack of **** nazi lover. since when did
you start loving hitler?


Look it up, they did.


i did. the first thing hitler did was to kill the union leaders

Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.

The US gov't was going broke during WWII. That's what the bond push
was all about.

For God's sake, look things up before you quack.


But that was for US weapons not forign weapons....look it up dough brain.


Bozo... we're talking about gov't spending. Gov't spent. The economy
recovered. I know it's a difficult concept for someone of your low
intellect...


With all of the current government spending around the US at the
federal, state and local level why is the unemployment rate at 9%?

and that via a war isn't exactly the best way to do that... unless you
don't mind killing a lot of people in the name of profit of course.

Never mind. You're hiding. I forgot.

It is funny that when some try to tell us that the only way to make
money is to spend money. Yet it just never seems to work with
governments. They more the spend the more debt they create for everyone.

It's funny that you don't know anything about how an economy works.


Governments do not generate wealth. The only thing governments are good
at with respect to money is waste, fraud and corruption.


Wealth isn't the issue. It's the middle class who are getting screwed
and they're not interested in wealth. They're interested in short term
survival.


Wrong, wealth is the issue. Without generating new wealth you are just
moving the same money around.

Do you know where wealth comes from? It comes from natural resources.

We have borrowed and spent our self to near insolvency.


This is a long term problem, not a short term problem. Get real.


The spending has been going on for about 100 years. It needs to stop.


Tomorrow... and screw the middle class who are going to get hurt. No
need to actually fix the problems, just screw over people. Typical
right-wing greedy asshole.


The progressive movement with its ideals that people need to be taken
care of has gotten us into this mess. People need to be told that they

Did my father's income predict my income. Did the fact that his salary
and benefits (BAS, BAQ and pay) predict that I would be earning the same
as him when I was only 25 years old?

I am just trying to understand what you are saying.


-the US has lower social mobility than SWEDEN


Again what is social mobility?


if you dont know what it is

and are truly too stupid to google it

then you're right wing


Did you get turned down for membership at "the good marina?" Was your
lineage from the wrong side of the tracks?



-a college educated person from the LOWEST QUINTILE has LESS of a
chance of breaking into the TOP quintile than a NON college educated
person whose parents are already in teh top quintile


You sure are hung up on this social mobility thing.


AKA the 'american dream'

ever hear of it, right wnger?


I have succeeded in the American dream. I have done better than my
parents.



and yet you right wing MORONS still believe the amercan dream BULL****


I think you have a warped view of success. They guy who used to live

process server. He then went into commercial real-estate. He is now and
executive vice president at an international commercial real-estate

Risk and reward. What are you willing to risk to receive the reward? Are

HAHAHAH he beleives that wall street EARNED the money they stole!


Did you lose money on a stock deal some time in the past? You sure do

although investment is a form of consumption, ONLY MIDDLE CLASS
CONSUMPTION can pull us out of the depression

You can't get consumption without jobs and the only way we get that is
by expansion. It is clear the stimulus money just went into rich

industry. (thanks for a "no stimulus" stimulus bill)

There are plenty of stim projects underway, even if you don't believe

Tax-sheltered retirement income is taxed as ordinary income when

Always was, is, always will be.
It's expected that your income will be less when you retire.
You might be able to use Roth IRA's to some extent if you think working
vs. retirement yaxes will flip on you.
Normally it doesn't work that way.
Basically you've said if you're outside when it rains you'll get wet.

Right now a worker would be paying a very minimal tax on this money
but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way
out of crushing debt.

Depends on income, but you have a point there.
Low income workers could lose by saving.
Here's the bright side.
Low income worker don't have any ****ing money to save.


What if everyone thinks the current tax on 401's is ok, tolerable so
they pump them up, and then "somebody" decides to say, triple the tax on
the 401's????


Why would that concern you? You spend you kid's college fund on
motorbike parts.


Do you have any proof of that, or just another lie?

the contract ON america you mean. the continued war of the right
against the ameircan middle class


Reply:
No the war on the middle class is the insane overspending by almost all the
Congress's for 50 years. And the inflation that it has caused. 1968, a
middle class family had an income of about $14k. Could buy a house and car
and decent vacation. 43 years later, that is 1/2 of poverty level. The
Contract with America was to allow those middle class to have the value of
the money they earned. Not having to keep sending more to Washington, D,C.
to pay for bloated government. One of the only places in the USA that has
not seen a housing bust is the DC area. Lots of money there.

let's get one thing straight

we dont need more INVESTMENT

we need more CONSUMPTION.

although investment is a form of consumption, ONLY MIDDLE CLASS
CONSUMPTION can pull us out of the depression

and wall street is NOT gonna let that happen

You can't get consumption without jobs and the only way we get that is
by expansion. It is clear the stimulus money just went into rich
people's pockets and not much actually got invested in expanded
industry. (thanks for a "no stimulus" stimulus bill)

There are plenty of stim projects underway, even if you don't believe
it or think they're working. They are working. We need more of them.

Name 10 of them.


Look them up yourself.

Pick 10 that were not already in the planning stages before 2008.


Huh? What difference does that make? Never heard of "shovel ready"
projects? Now they have funding, and they're creating jobs. That's the
point moron.

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.

It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.

Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.

The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.

Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.

The US gov't was going broke during WWII. That's what the bond push
was all about.

For God's sake, look things up before you quack.

But that was for US weapons not forign weapons....look it up dough brain.


Bozo... we're talking about gov't spending. Gov't spent. The economy
recovered. I know it's a difficult concept for someone of your low
intellect...


With all of the current government spending around the US at the
federal, state and local level why is the unemployment rate at 9%?


Because 2.5 years isn't enough time to fix the problems created by the
last administration. Unemployment numbers typically take quite a while
to recover.

Bob, do you see the difference?


Greg, do you see that the US gov't was injecting money into the
economy? Do you see why it doesn't make much difference how it does it
and that via a war isn't exactly the best way to do that... unless you
don't mind killing a lot of people in the name of profit of course.

Never mind. You're hiding. I forgot.

It is funny that when some try to tell us that the only way to make
money is to spend money. Yet it just never seems to work with
governments. They more the spend the more debt they create for everyone.

It's funny that you don't know anything about how an economy works.

Governments do not generate wealth. The only thing governments are good
at with respect to money is waste, fraud and corruption.


Wealth isn't the issue. It's the middle class who are getting screwed
and they're not interested in wealth. They're interested in short term
survival.


Wrong, wealth is the issue. Without generating new wealth you are just
moving the same money around.

Do you know where wealth comes from? It comes from natural resources.


So, someone who's barely able to feed his kids is interested in
creating wealth? Hardly. That's a long term goal, not a short term
reality.

Wealth has little to do with natural resources in the modern world...
only by association. Wealth has to do with ideas, innovation, business
acumen, and moral and ethical integrity. Try again.

When my father retired in 1984 as an O-5 in the US Navy, as a graduate
of the USNA and holding a MS from the US Navy PG School, I was earning
the same as he was. I was 25 years old and had no degree from anywhere.

-the US has the lowest social mobility of any country in the OECD
except the UK


Social mobility? What does that mean. I get invited to diner with the

-the US has lower social mobility than SWEDEN


Again what is social mobility?

You sure are hung up on this social mobility thing.

and yet you right wing MORONS still believe the amercan dream BULL****


I think you have a warped view of success. They guy who used to live
next door to me started out as a process server. He was a very good
process server. He then went into commercial real-estate. He is now and
executive vice president at an international commercial real-estate
corporation. He is also on the board of directors for a national
charitable organization. He has also met with, meaing actually talked
with for more than 20 minutes each, about 15 leaders of countries around
the world.

If you asked him for help he would do whatever he can to help you. But,
he is also motivated by money.


our economy today is the result of the richest 1% doing what's right
for america

Risk and reward. What are you willing to risk to receive the reward? Are
you willing to invest all of your money?


HAHAHAH he beleives that wall street EARNED the money they stole!


Did you lose money on a stock deal some time in the past? You sure do
have a hard-on for wall street.


and proof of that is they're better than we are. that's why our
economy is so strong

The proof is that they are out working rather than posting to this
newsgroup all day long, like you do.


really? uh....how did wall street WORK to earn the money they stole
you right wing moron?


Yeah, you probably invested $10,000 and lost it and now you are soured
on the stock market. Too bad you were too stupid to read the prospectus.


Do you think he had that much? LOL.

I have succeeded in the American dream. I have done better than my
parents.



and yet you right wing MORONS still believe the amercan dream BULL****

I think you have a warped view of success. They guy who used to live
next door to me started out as a process server. He was a very good
process server. He then went into commercial real-estate. He is now and
executive vice president at an international commercial real-estate
corporation. He is also on the board of directors for a national
charitable organization. He has also met with, meaing actually talked
with for more than 20 minutes each, about 15 leaders of countries around
the world.

more reader's digest bull****


The guy is really interesting.


Risk and reward. What are you willing to risk to receive the reward? Are
you willing to invest all of your money?

HAHAHAH he beleives that wall street EARNED the money they stole!

Did you lose money on a stock deal some time in the past? You sure do
have a hard-on for wall street.


HAHAHAHAH aint that a shame!

how's wall street doing for us? the US doing OK

you really are stupid, arent you? and PROUD of it!!


I just checked my 401k and it is up 6% for the year.


Mine is only up 4%, but I moved a lot to cash anticipating the market
was going to reverse, and by the looks of the last 3 weeks....

Obama-debt bubble is breaking.

Take all your money and buy tomorrow's newspaper. If that won't cover
it, ask a friend (sorry, I didn't mean to bum you out, since I know
you don't have any), or perhaps find some loose change on the
sidewalk. Then, look for a job. Who knows. Someone might be dumber
than you and hire you.

canuck's moronic view of economics is exceeded only by his ignorance

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.


So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.


It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.


Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.


The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.


Look up the fine print of lend lease. *First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. *Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. *And no government debt for it.

Bob, do you see the difference?


Greg, do you see that the US gov't was injecting money into the
economy? Do you see why it doesn't make much difference how it does it
and that via a war isn't exactly the best way to do that... unless you
don't mind killing a lot of people in the name of profit of course.


Never mind. You're hiding. I forgot.


It is funny that when some try to tell us that the only way to make
money is to spend money. Yet it just never seems to work with
governments. They more the spend the more debt they create for everyone.


It's funny that you don't know anything about how an economy works.


Governments do not generate wealth. The only thing governments are good
at with respect to money is waste, fraud and corruption.


Wealth isn't the issue. It's the middle class who are getting screwed
and they're not interested in wealth. They're interested in short term
survival.


Wrong, wealth is the issue. Without generating new wealth you are just
moving the same money around.


Do you know where wealth comes from? It comes from natural resources.


So, someone who's barely able to feed his kids is interested in
creating wealth? Hardly. That's a long term goal, not a short term
reality.

Wealth has little to do with natural resources in the modern world...
only by association. Wealth has to do with ideas, innovation, business
acumen, and moral and ethical integrity. Try again.


So, D'Plume. by applying your logic (or rather, lack of; ) The CEO's
of the oil companies are highly ethical and moral. Obviously you
praise the Enron hierarchy!

let's get one thing straight

we dont need more INVESTMENT

we need more CONSUMPTION.

although investment is a form of consumption, ONLY MIDDLE CLASS
CONSUMPTION can pull us out of the depression

and wall street is NOT gonna let that happen

You can't get consumption without jobs and the only way we get that is
by expansion. It is clear the stimulus money just went into rich
people's pockets and not much actually got invested in expanded
industry. (thanks for a "no stimulus" stimulus bill)

There are plenty of stim projects underway, even if you don't believe
it or think they're working. They are working. We need more of them.

Name 10 of them.

Look them up yourself.

http://stimuluswatch.org/2.0/


Pick 10 that were not already in the planning stages before 2008.


Huh? What difference does that make? Never heard of "shovel ready"
projects? Now they have funding, and they're creating jobs. That's the
point moron.


Even Obama admitted the "shovel ready" was a big lie... He gave the
finger to the country and admitted he just paid a bunch of voting blocks
off... None of it created jobs, none of it created anything but fat
happy donors...

the contract ON america you mean. the continued war of the right

Reply:
No the war on the middle class is the insane overspending by almost all the
Congress's for 50 years. And the inflation that it has caused. 1968, a
middle class family had an income of about $14k. Could buy a house and car
and decent vacation. 43 years later, that is 1/2 of poverty level. The
Contract with America was to allow those middle class to have the value of
the money they earned. Not having to keep sending more to Washington, D,C.
to pay for bloated government. One of the only places in the USA that has
not seen a housing bust is the DC area. Lots of money there.


funny the rich seem to be doing OK. they had a 500% pay increase in

so why are they doing fine and the rest of us are headed for poverty?
