The "I Hate Obamacare Because Reasons" Demographic...

[Arianrhod]

Conservatives are really dumb...They don't realize that most of the regulations, laws and infrastructure that makes their lives better then say some third world shit hole is government maintained.

...summed up in a single image:

On radio stations that are privately owned.

FORD Motors received a bailout?

Paying the taxes that fund the highways.

Went to private schools and private universities while my parents were still paying property taxes that funded public schools.

My water comes from a well

While I have visited a national park, I pay the taxes that fund them. Does everyone that visits one pay those taxes.

And your employer provides you with health insurance. How many decades was Ford in business before the bailout?

My coverage is part of what I am compensated for doing for my employer.

Backtracking with FORD?

So you've mentioned, numerous times.

Backtracking with FORD?

Are you? I thought you'd find it easy to determine that Ford was started in 1903 and the bailout occurred over a century later.

Not certain what that has to do with the PPACA, but I await your explanation.

Just as you've mentioned how all those examples in the cartoon which you call socialism really aren't.

I mentioned FORD because your cartoon listed riding in a vehicle made by a company that received bailouts. FORD didn't get one and I drive a FORD as does my wife and my daughter.

This is a little outdated (Ford may have paid the $5.9 billion back by now), but q.v. paragraph 2:

Like the article said, let's be honest. It wasn't a bailout.

They took money from the government that, as of 2012, they had not paid back. You can split hairs over terminology - call it "a loan," if you like - but the net result is the same.

I call it a loan because it is one. It's the same concept with education. Loans have to be paid back while scholarships, grants, and the like do not.

It's not splitting hairs. If it were the same thing, there wouldn't be two different terms describing it. Again, use the college funding example. A scholarship is different from a loan though the net result is the same.

So Ford got a "loan" but the other automakers got a "bailout"? Both had to be paid back, correct? Is there any difference in the terms or is it just a matter of semantics?

And you're right, scholarships and grants do not need to be paid back. They're usually based on academic merit or an ability to toss and catch a pigskin. Not quite sure why you'd object to students being rewarded for achievement.

If they were the same, the same term would have been used. Guess that's two words we can add to the list that you don't know.

I don't object to students/athletes getting the based on merit. I have a problem with this:

Have you ever seen white only scholarships advertisements? Neither have I.

So you're saying the other automakers didn't pay back? And if I asked you for supporting data, you'd have that I'm sure.

Or maybe you've confused "automaker" with "Goldman Sachs."
