If libs had their way

[Mr. Shaman]

IN THE YEAR 3000!

IF LIBS had their way....everyone would be covered by health care through a single payer system. This would half our spending on, while simultaneously improving the quality of, health care and have a ripple effect through the economy as far fewer people go through medical bankruptcy.

Can you imagine being FREE FROM THE FEAR of not losing your home if your spouse gets seriously sick? Imagine the feeling of SECURITY you'd have, knowing you would not lose what you worked your whole life for. The WEIGHT off your shoulders. And better care for less money.

That is what would happen if LIBS GOT THEIR WAY!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine the FREEDOM of guaranteed housing, food, TV, games, booze, drugs, elective surgery, cars, cell phones, and anything else you ever want without worrying about working, succeeding, bettering yourself, or any kind of effort, personal responsibility or independence? Oh, what joy!

We are seeing the implosion of such schemes all across Europe. Germany, Britain, and Canada's health care systems are all in crisis, from gov't mandates and controls.

Remove TR from Rushmore? Are you kidding? Teddy was the original progressive. Proposed universal health care for America's children at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Don't know where you get this shit from, maybe the 'gin' at the start of your screen name is a clue.

Teddy was a different kind of Progressive. He more celebrated Individualism than went on Witch Hunts to eradicate it.

One can't get more Totalitarian than Statist Progressivism.

 

[WillowTree]

Oh for chrissake people. Humans have wandered all over this earth for eons and they are still at it. stop bashing CC. get a fucking clue.

Teddy Roosevelt was liberal

Teddy was Republican, Democrat, and Bull Moose. The Statist Progressive Today, would throw him under the bus for not marching in lock step.

I work for a company whose headquarters is in London, at any given time perhaps half the employees will be here for one reason or other.

They are unified in their dislike of the health care system in the UK. Mostly because of the reliance on bribery that's necessary. Unless you have someone "on the outside" to show appreciation, you won't get so much as a glass of water. Which is one of the reasons doctors have been prescribing water.

Square Deal

"Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense."... "We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less.""The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us."
New York State Fair, Syracuse, September 7, 1903

"A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled, and less than that no man shall have."
Speech to veterans, Springfield, IL, July 4, 1903

The real question: should schools teach the truth even when it does not reflect well on America?

What we fail to grasp in the truth of a matter, we are destined to repeat. You tell me what you think should be taught and censored?

They pay less and have better care.

Tell us all again about their gilded cage?
How is a better outcome for less money a gilded cage?

What a bunch of backwoods retards you conservatives are when it comes to this issue.

[Mr Natural]

they would remove Teddy R from Mt Rushmore.

They already have demonized Christopher Columbus - whose holiday was once celebrated

And if cons had their way, they 'd would remove Lincoln from Mt Rushmore for fucking up their free labor scheme.

When I was your age in the avatar - I didnt know what the middle finger meant

It's just a picture, stupid. It's not even me.

 

[bripat9643]

Why are you opposed to teaching the truth, good and bad? You like to be lied to? Oops, you're a Republican...goes with the territory.

You don't want to teach the truth, good and bad. You only want to teach that America is the focus of all evil in the world.

craziest things that the U.S. government is spending money on....


At a time when the U.S. national debt is closing in on 14 trillion dollars, government waste just seems more out of control than ever. The following are 20 of the craziest things that the U.S. government is spending money on....

#1 A total of $3 million has been granted to researchers at the University of California at Irvine so that they can play video games such as World of Warcraft. The goal of this "video game research" is reportedly to study how "emerging forms of communication, including multiplayer computer games and online virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft and Second Life can help organizations collaborate and compete more effectively in the global marketplace."

#2 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the University of New Hampshire $700,000 this year to study methane gas emissions from dairy cows.

#3 $615,000 was given to the University of California at Santa Cruz to digitize photos, T-shirts and concert tickets belonging to the Grateful Dead.

#4 A professor at Stanford University received $239,100 to study how Americans use the Internet to find love. So far one of the key findings of this "research" is that the Internet is a safer and more discreet way to find same-sex partners.

#5 The National Science Foundation spent $216,000 to study whether or not politicians "gain or lose support by taking ambiguous positions."

#6 The National Institutes of Health spent approximately $442,340 to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam.

#7 Approximately $1 million of U.S. taxpayer money was used to create poetry for the Little Rock, New Orleans, Milwaukee and Chicago zoos. The goal of the "poetry" is to help raise awareness on environmental issues.

#8 The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent $175 million during 2010 to maintain hundreds of buildings that it does not even use. This includes a pink, octagonal monkey house in the city of Dayton, Ohio.

#9 $1.8 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars went for a "museum of neon signs" in Las Vegas, Nevada.

#10 $35 million was reportedly paid out by Medicare to 118 "phantom" medical clinics that never even existed. Apparently these "phantom" medical clinics were established by a network of criminal gangs as a way to defraud the U.S. government.

#11 The Conservation Commission of Monkton, Vermont got $150,000 from the federal government to construct a "critter crossing". Thanks to U.S. government money, the lives of "thousands" of migrating salamanders are now being saved.

#12 In California, one park received $440,000 in federal funds to perform "green energy upgrades" on a building that has not been used for a decade.

#13 $440,955 was spent this past year on an office for former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert that he rarely even visits.

#14 One Tennessee library was given $5,000 in federal funds to host a series of video game parties.

#15 The U.S. Census Bureau spent $2.5 million on a television commercial during the Super Bowl that was so poorly produced that virtually nobody understood what is was trying to say.

#16 A professor at Dartmouth University received $137,530 to create a "recession-themed" video game entitled "Layoff".

#17 The National Science Foundation gave the Minnesota Zoo over $600,000 so that they could develop an online video game called "Wolfquest".

#18 A pizzeria in Iowa was given $60,000 to renovate the pizzeria's facade and give it a more "inviting feel".

#19 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave one enterprising group of farmers $30,000 to develop a tourist-friendly database of farms that host guests for overnight "haycations". This one sounds like something that Dwight Schrute would have dreamed up.

#20 Almost unbelievably, the National Institutes of Health was given $800,000 in "stimulus funds" to study the impact of a "genital-washing program" on men in South Africa.

yeah, and we'd all ride unicorns to work, and clouds would be made of pink cotton candy.

Now back to the real world.

Can you imagine being FREE FROM THE FEAR of not losing your home if your spouse gets seriously sick? Imagine the feeling of SECURITY you'd have, knowing you would not lose what you worked your whole life for. The WEIGHT off your shoulders. And better care for less money.

That is what would happen if LIBS GOT THEIR WAY!!!!!!!!

Yes, but then we'd have to deal with the fear of watching the whole damn country swirle own the drain from all the impossible promises that turds like you have made to people.

Worse, neither Our Lives or Our Homes, would belong to Us. Prison offers free medical and housing, for some there may be appeal and security in that.

Terms like "quality care" and "effective care" are vague and nebulous at best. What isn't vague is the survival rate for diseases like cancer or a heart attack, and the medical resources available per patient, such as MRI machines. The USA excels in all those categories.

Your chart is nothing but bullshit propaganda.

 

[Katzndogz]

Liberals believe that if we give the government all our money the government will be honest and fair in redistributing it. Just give the government total control over health care and government will make it all better.

They believe it.
