Sure you did. You didn't post it out of sympathy for him.



Why would I have sympathy for a P.O.S. like Trump? I'm not one of your
fake christians who pretend to have feelings of sympathy for despicable
characters like, oh, Trump or your racist buddy, Herring.

No sir Harry, you're not a fake anything. You're the 'real deal' LOL

LOL! I'll bet even Harry laughed his ass off at that comeback!


Why? Was it funny?

To one with a sense of humor, yes. But, as we all know, your forte' is prevarication, not humor.

I suppose someone should point out to Harry and his gang that his
"single payer" plan would be a huge tax increase to a person who pays
nothing now. Ask Don how much a Canadian family of 4 would pay on
$60,000. I suppose I could look it up myself since Canadian taxes are
pretty easy and there are online calculators.


As I have stated many times, we need to reshuffle our priorities in
this country. We can start by slicing the military budget by at least
50%. Then we can force the medical profession to accept customary and
reasonable rates for services, and pharma to charge reasonable prices
for its wares. The money that now goes to private health insurers could
instead be paid into a national health care fund, with families paying
into it on the basis of family income.

It will never work if half the country is too poor to pay (as we
decided with income tax). You also have the problem that government
managed health care is less efficient than private insurers so it
would be more expensive. Medicare and Medicaid run fraud rates in the
17-19% on top of that. The policy is pay and chase. Chasing seldom
actually works because the scammers are long gone by the time the
chasers even get the case.
The short answer is this is not Sweden or even Canada.

The problem with any cut in spending is it means jobs and the AFGE
would be marching down Pennsylvania avenue with torches.
The same would be true if you actually went after the "cost" of health
care or insurance companies except it would be lobbyists telling us
how many jobs we would lose.

Oh, why is that?

People working in the defense industry tend to be in the half of the
population who do pay taxes and without that work they would be
unemployed. Without the Pentagon, there is no market for that much
technology and certainly not at that price. This stuff is "Made in
America" which means it is 2 or 3 times as much as it would cost if it
came from where the rest of our consumer goods are made.

My fishing partner is a retired LEO. Was a Medicaid fraud investigator for
the state AG. They would turn over evidence of Medicare fraud when they
found state Medicaid fraud. He said the Feds just ignored the fraud.

No, yours is closer to the fourth grade.
