Actually, it works just fine, but you'll never hear anything good on the Pub Propaganda Machine, hater dupe. And of course Pubs won't pass any investment in our people or our infrastructure, both slowly ruined under Reaganism and destroyed by the BOOOSH DEPRESSION. HATER DUPES DON'T EVEN WANT TO PAY TAXES OR HELP THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. BRAINWASHED HATERS. GREAT JOB, PUBBIES. SEE SIG PARA. 1.John F. Kennedy once said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". Powerful words and you can see them here,
John F Kennedy 'Ask not' - YouTube
Let us fast forward a few years and see a Kennedy generation child change those words into "How can we, as symbolically the children of the future president expect the the two of you, the three of you, to meet our needs......?" It can be seen here, 1992 Ponytail Guy Presidential Debate - YouTube
Every presidential political debate since Pony-Tail-Guy (I don't know his real name) has had questions about how the government is supposed to take care of people as opposed to how people take care of themselves or how people should control the government. A far distant or opposing position than Mr Kennedy held. And JFK was a liberal.
What the fuck has happened to this country? Why is it that some people somehow now think that the purpose of the federal government is to take care of them like some sort of nanny? Has the majority of voters decided that they want a "mommy" or "daddy" to take care of them? Vis-a-vis the federal government setting things like wages and health insurance mandates?
Grow up people, it's not the governments responsibility to make sure you have a home to live in, food on the table, medical care or anything else. It's your responsibility to provide for yourself and your family, not mine. Quit being fucking children.
It would have helped if you first understood what JFK was saying when he uttered those words.
John F. Kennedys inaugural address inspired children and adults to see the importance of civic action and public service. His historic words, Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country, challenged every American to contribute in some way to the public good.

shortly after he was elected when Obama was at his highest of highs he called for a civilian task force to come together and aid their fellow americans. looks like none of his democratic followers stepped up to the plate and were willing to give up their time

What has changed? Two things come to mind: "It's your money" mentality has changed greed/avarice from a deadly sin into a virtue; and, Sears (for example) used to honor their Craftsman Tool for life and today wants to sell its customers an insurance policy to protect customers from a crappy product (in general business and industry have put profit over customer service).
Since Reagan Unions have been under attack and wages and benefits for the many have shrunk while salaries and benefits of the few have vastly increased.
Since Reagan compassion for the poor has been replaced by a "quit being fucking children" mentality, and assuming the poor are solely responsible for being poor (in other words, critical thinking and panoptic consideration for poverty are no longer part of problem identification).
Really? That's how it used to be done. So the elderly in the past were abused and homeless?If we left taking care of disabled and elderly up to just volunteering and private organization there would be a lot of abused homeless disabled and elderly people.

It was a simple statement, it needs explanation? The government was formed for a reason, infrastructure, security, foreign and domestic, etc., not everything else it has expanded into being. And expand it has.Frankly, other than proving you hate Democrats I am confused by your post. Please explain this sentence fragment: "so the solution is to take tax payer money that should be going to things like education and maintaining the infrastructure or borrowing money from china to put us further in debt?"
Well, Romney may well have lost because of it so I don't see how your point is meaningful. Plus they voted on it. When did we vote on the ACA?Oh, and if ACA is such a bad thing how do you explain that it was originally proposed by The Heritage Foundation, a right wing think tank. And further, how do you explain that ACA is modeled after the same exact plan as the one put into place in Massachusetts by a republican governor.
Improve it, how? It's a clusterfuck and Obama keeps moving the goal posts to keep the Democrat hope alive in upcoming elections. How does that not speak to you?And finally, why has the republican party done everything in their power to destroy rather than improve ACA.
Some of the reasons healthcare is expensive is government intervention, litigation and protection thereof and of course technology where life can be extended until you are almost a mummy. I see nothing wrong with the rich paying for whatever they want but a serious problem arrises when people feel that they are entitled to the best care available for a slong as possible. You blaming the Republicans is nothing but stupid partisan nonthought.Do you approve of people working their entire life and then developing a serious disease and end up having everything taken away from them? Are you for having millions of people having their lives shortened because they cannot afford regular medical care and are forced to emergency rooms when it is to late to prevent the damage that has been done? ...blah blah blah

I thought there were laws against that? Hmmm, maybe a liberal court didn't see fit to put him away? Sure abuse has/does happen, especially with the moral degeneration we've experienced but was this typical of the past? Are you over 90 years old with more stories?Yes. And still are, just not as often.
I can tell you about hundred stories that I have seen first hand.
My personal favorite was the time a lady moved in at a facility I worked at with a broken orbital and nose. Her son beat the crap out of her with a phone, and had been beating her for awhile. Thankfully the state stepped in, got her guardian and moved her into a safe clean place.
Breaking News- When you count ALL taxes and fees, the poorest fifth pay 16 per cent, while everyone else pays 21 per cent.
In the fifties, corporations paid 35 per cent of all taxes- now 10 per cent. Shortsighted Reaganist bs...
libs love to spin doctor the facts don't they
No, but Pubs have sure brainwashed you hater dupes. That chart is FEDERAL INCOME TAX ONLY, and payroll taxes are more than that now, let alone state and local taxes and fees, which have increased for thirty years to make up for cuts in federal aid. You're a perfect chump of the greedy idiot GOP. Functional IDIOT. Change the channel.

Frankly, other than proving you hate Democrats I am confused by your post. Please explain this sentence fragment: "so the solution is to take tax payer money that should be going to things like education and maintaining the infrastructure or borrowing money from china to put us further in debt?"You are concerned about people who cannot find jobs seeking government assistance. You think it is WRONG for the government to help individuals. Okay, what do you think about this: Last year Boeing made a profit of $5.9 billion. Not only did they not pay a penny in tax, THEY RECEIVED AN $82 MILLION TAX REFUND! Their federal tax rate was
-1.4%. I make less than $100,000 and paid +15%. You scream about some people receiving pennies and ignore corporate welfare in the billions. Is it possible that maybe they fooled you into looking at a grain of sand so that you would ignore the mountain right next to it?
Boeing Paid No Federal Income Tax Last Year: Analysis
so the solution is to take tax payer money that should be going to things like education and maintaining the infrastructure or borrowing money from china to put us further in debt? yea, we see what your kind of thinking has done for this once great nation. don't go bellyaching to me about evil corporations. they only take advantage of what government gives them. yep, your people loving democrats too. team Obama just singlehandedly gave the healthcare industry to insurance companies and pharmaceuticals. heck they just took the last major cost burden off the shoulders of corporations too and put it squarely on the taxpayer. smooth move
Oh, and if ACA is such a bad thing how do you explain that it was originally proposed by The Heritage Foundation, a right wing think tank.

Are you for having millions of people having their lives shortened because they cannot afford regular medical care and are forced to emergency rooms when it is to late to prevent the damage that has been done? Do you think people should be placed in a position where they have to decide between purchasing food or medicine? Do you approve of insurance companies being able to pick and choose who they insure so that people with pre-existing conditions are left to die without care? Why do you hate your fellow Americans so much that you could care less when they become sick and are tossed into the gutter because they cannot afford healthcare?
How does that prove that they were abused and homeless? I think we all know that government has grown. and the government doesn't make money, it spends it. How many elederly would have more money if the government hadn't taxed the crap out of them? Where are those stats?47 MILLION…the number of Americans for whom Medicare provides comprehensive health care
51 PERCENT…the number of Americans 65 or older who did not have health care before Medicare was passed, while today virtually all elderly Americans have health care thanks to Medicare
30 PERCENT…the number of elderly Americans who lived in poverty before Medicare, a number now reduced to 7.5 PERCENT
and that proves what exactly?72 PERCENT…the number of Americans in a recent poll who said that Medicare is “extremely” or “very” important to their retirement security
Medicare is a contributing factor in skyrocketing health care costs. How does that translate into "fighting cost increases"? You ignored everything else I said, why are they entitled to the best care for as long as possible? Where is that in the Constitution? And what would the cost be without government micromanaging the care? More? You don't know much about government if you think so.Why is Medicare expensive? Simply, health care for seniors will always cost more than that of healthier, younger Americans. And costs are rising in every health care system around the world, not just Medicare. The United States is doubly cursed because our costs are rising faster and are already twice as expensive as other countries. Though hard to believe, Medicare is a leader in fighting cost increases. Private insurance industry costs are rising nearly twice as fast as those of Medicare. And when it comes to administrative expenses, private insurance is 10 times higher than Medicare. In fact, if the single payer financing of Medicare were applied to citizens of all ages, we would save $350 billion annually, more than enough to provide comprehensive health care to every American.
Medicare is good for our seniors and good for our country. It provides health care far more affordably and efficiently than our private insurance industry. It saves our country hundreds of billions of dollars in administrative overhead. And if we expand Medicare to cover younger, healthier Americans, we would all get more care at less cost.
Ok, you ARE a brainwashed idiot. Read the actual tax figures, tinfoiler.libs love to spin doctor the facts don't they
No, but Pubs have sure brainwashed you hater dupes. That chart is FEDERAL INCOME TAX ONLY, and payroll taxes are more than that now, let alone state and local taxes and fees, which have increased for thirty years to make up for cuts in federal aid. You're a perfect chump of the greedy idiot GOP. Functional IDIOT. Change the channel.
yep, federal income tax only. but it is still taxes on total income. but the same holds true for state, local taxes and fees. and when you get to sales and usage taxes the number is even sku'd far greater to the tax burden being on the rich. the rich are paying an even far greater percentage than is represented by federal income tax alone. see, another snippet of liberal bullshit nipped in the bud. thanks for bringing it to our attention

I thought there were laws against that? Hmmm, maybe a liberal court didn't see fit to put him away? Sure abuse has/does happen, especially with the moral degeneration we've experienced but was this typical of the past? Are you over 90 years old with more stories?Yes. And still are, just not as often.

Moron much? Yeah, I guess you're a moron if that's the way you want to put it. We were discussing Medicare and you shifted into crime to try to make some kind of point.Um, that is why she moved into where I worked. Moron much?I thought there were laws against that? Hmmm, maybe a liberal court didn't see fit to put him away? Sure abuse has/does happen, especially with the moral degeneration we've experienced but was this typical of the past? Are you over 90 years old with more stories?
Wait, you mean the system isn't working and it's the rights fault even though the left has grown the size of government exponentially? Yep. Moron.I worked in in home care and in memory care. You have no clue.
It's like the right forgets history, and how bad it was for the poor, disabled, And elderly. It's like you guys want to go back to those times. It isn't bad enough now? But don't worry homelessness among the elderly is on the rise. Where are the people taking care of them?
A huge recipient of federal dollars, that's a market driven entrepreneur?Medicare has been way ahead of private insurance at controlling costs. Say who? A market-driven entrepreneur.
JFK was an empty suit with empty words. God help us if we ever allow a president to appoint his own brother as A.G. to watch his back but that's the way the Kennedys did business. The liberal media knew of John and Bobby's sexual adventures with movie stars and mafia call girls but they decided that Americans didn't need to know about it. The media knew about Jack's congenital bad back and his reliance on pain killers but it wasn't news. They knew about Bobby's strange obsession with the assassination of Castro but it wasn't news. The Bay of Pigs adventure should have had JFK impeached for using the CIA to recruit, train and equip an invasion army but they decided to downplay it. The Russians knew more about JFK's weaknesses than Americans did.

Feds make Medicare fraud a top priority

Healthcare fraud is estimated to cost the country $80 billion a year, and it's growing, according to the FBI and Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
LOL. Communism's worst enemy. Of course you hate him.JFK was no empty suit. That would be Reagan.
Red flags should go up anytime someone starts out with the authoritarian phrase "we now know...". Post the relevant portion that bakes up your assertion. Do the documents state that the CIA heads didn't disclose vital information and that they thought Kennedy would cave? Or is that a conclusion based on an opinion backed up with an assertion? Sounds fishy. Kennedy had military experience so I'm skeptical that he was that naive.We now knowfrom the CIA's internal history of the Bay of Pigs, which was declassified in 2005that agency officials realized their motley crew of invaders had no chance of victory unless they were reinforced by the U.S. military. But Allen Dulles and Richard Bissell, the top CIA officials, never disclosed this to J.F.K. They clearly thought the young President would cave in the heat of battle, that he would be forced to send in the Marines and Air Force to rescue the beleaguered exiles brigade after it was pinned down on the beaches by Castro's forces.
