Something else we don't have, a real mental health system.Thanks GOP

Helping those in need should be at the top of the list for a country aspiring to be great again. Now that we have a decent human being as president after this four year trump disaster, it might happen.

Nah, you commies would rather give the money to illegal aliens.

.
I try to be polite but with texas white trash like yourself it's not possible, so go fuck yourself.


Yeah, you commies love to deflect when you have no legitimate response. You know xiden is showering illegals with welcome gifts in the form of taxpayer money and they're aiding the cartels by providing the illegals bus and airfare to complete the last leg of their trips. All in violation of US law.

Showering illegals with gifts will encourage a lot more illegals to make the trip.

Once they get into America, they make callls back to their friends back in their Shithole countries and tell them what they can expect.
 
so 26% of Americans have mental illness and there is really no mental health system. Just pills. Just might have something to do with all these killings and insanity on airplanes etc etc.

So why are we the only modern country without a living wage health care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations ID card to end illegal immigration? No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots from paying their fair share.

An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. In particular, depressive illnesses tend to co-occur with substance abuse and anxiety disorders.

I agree a good portion of the population needs mental health treatment. Of course you blame it all on the GOP, when in reality mental hospitals have been shut down in droves over the last several decades in blue cities and states.

By the way, what are all these other “modern countries” with “living wages” and cheap college?
It is simple... Tax Cuts... US has been cutting taxes for the last 75 years... They have now no money for Services...

As for Modern Countries
  • Germany
  • France
  • UK
  • Sweden
  • Norway
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • Ireland
  • Netherlands
  • Belgium
  • Switzerland
  • Australia
  • Italy
  • Israel
  • ......
All those have living wages... The main reason is they have safety nets and support like Healthcare, Education, Parental Leave, extensive social security net.... They have higher taxes but those taxes are used to help everyone, thus they have less crime especially serious crime..

That is a country 1/4 the size of US and they used 85 bullets in one year...

By the way that country Germany also ran a surplus from 2012 to 2019 and a sizeable one as well, they run a debt to GDP ration almost half of the US, They have free college and maintenance grands to poor kids, entry to college is on the students performance only and not how much there parents make... The best universities are public in Europe (not opinion, fact)...

The US used to be like this, back in the 1950s, taxes were high but they also had great services, GI bill as a good example... US used to see try and help people, the GOP policies of demeaning the poor as some some kind of twisted logic is now coming through... They try and pretend it is tough love when it is cruelty and detrimental for America.
You seem to be forgetting that those are all very white countries. And yes, when a nation doesn’t have tens of millions of minorities that commit a disproportionate amount of crime and use up a disproportionate amount of welfare, then it can afford such welfare programs because so few actually use them.

Mental illness is not a joke, the only( out front) politician I can remember who closed mental health hospitals was Ronnie Regan

The closing of insane asylums started long before Ronaldus Magnus.

Really, the start to the whole decline of nut houses really began with the discovery of Thorazine in the early 1950's. It simmered down lunatics enough that they could be safely treated on an outpatient basis.

Further psychotropic phamaceuticals later came on the market to allow even more basket cases to be treated at home or in halfway houses.
But Ronald Reagan did it more than anyone and replaced it with nothing. No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots GOP rich from paying their fair share...
so 26% of Americans have mental illness


We call them "Democrats". Trump Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental health issue for our country.
Perhaps there is a connection to the 26% approximately who believe all GOP propaganda and can't change the channel for crying out loud.

Sorry this is not political this is about our crap GOP society of the last 40 years. Stress and hopelessness growing all the time...
how did reagan do that?
Tax cuts on the rich and giant corporations, and a flat tax system we have now. Giant giveaway to the rich screw job for everyone else and the country.
You can use the GOP rule of reconciliation for tax cuts and program cuts. Quite the scam
And of course the GOP filibuster rule to block anything. Quite a scam the last 50 years.
well the filibuster is more the 50 years old...it dates back to the Roman Empire...and used in the USA long before the GOP existed
It's a bit different when all you have to do is say I am filibustering that. They also have another rule where one senator can stop everything. Great job!
that’s not a new rule...the senate majority leader can still bring it to the floor and allow the perso to filibuster something

as far as your other rule...what is that? never seen that...
The filler buster used to be like in Mr Smith goes to Washington where it only lasted as long as you could keep talking on the floor. Now all you have to do is say I'm filibustering it and then those being filibustered have to overwrite it with 60 votes. Lol. I wonder how that slows things down lol.

Reconciliation rule is great for cutting taxes and programs on a budget. Then they only need 51 votes and that is how the GOP has been screwing you for the last 40 years. You really should try looking around the world's media instead of just listening to garbage from Rupert Murdoch and worse on the internet. Try Google News or the BBC or France 24 or anything but Fox News the New York Post the Wall Street journal the London Sunday times and the London sun. That is the Rupert Murdock GOP echo chamber that you listen to on Fox etc etc. None of which Is respected anywhere outside your bubble of bologna.
And the helpless little democrats never could figure out how to change any of that. Silly little creatures, cute sometimes, but you keep voting for them, even though they never give you what you want.
I am sorry Hillary didn't win in 2008 because I believe Barack Obama was scared to do too much and being an uppity negro. Not that it mattered with the filibuster anyway. Why don't you look at the policies that would affect your family and friends and make an intelligent decision instead of listening to phony scandals and conspiracy theories about Democrats...
I do remember that Hillary was a multiple loser, culminating in her humiliation at the hands of TRUMP!, who sent her into retirement. Good days, good days.
to be fair when trump bwater her she was only a one time loser

That is the fault of the GOP propaganda machine and ignoramuses is like you. Perfect doop of the greedy idiot GOP rich.... It is getting obvious enough so that I think the Democrats can get real control pretty soon. At least we survived Trump so far. That's the way it goes forever in the United States....
Just wait til next time!!! It is to laugh. You do know, of course, that if they do change the rules to benefit themselves, the Republicans will just use the new rules to their own advantage and you'll once again be proclaiming everything to be owned by the GOP. Convenient little memory purge you have going on there.
All they care about is cutting taxes on the rich and giant corporations and cutting programs for regular people. So it wouldn't make any difference. And only brainwashed functional morons like you would vote for them as always.... Poor America

One of the things that is misleading about tax rates is that most other countries just have a Federal rate. The US has Federal, State and Local. The combined State and Local tax burden is almost equal to our Federal burden.

We spend almost 40% of the GDP on the friggin combined cost of government in this country and that is despicable.

It is, and add to that the reality that Uncle Sam provides defense services for a lot of those countries, allowing them to spend less than they otherwise would on defense. Thought experiment, what do you think would happen if America pulled all her military presence out of Europe? Does anyone think the French REALLY trust the Germans and would not quickly ramp up their own forces "just in case"? It would quickly lead to the loss of the lavish Nanny states, as tax revenue would be diverted into building up the militaries of these countries and since taxes are already extremely high, there would be little room to raise them again to cover it.

That is the Rupert Murdock GOP echo chamber that you listen to on Fox etc etc. None of which Is respected anywhere outside your bubble of bologna.
And the helpless little democrats never could figure out how to change any of that. Silly little creatures, cute sometimes, but you keep voting for them, even though they never give you what you want.
That is the fault of the GOP propaganda machine and ignoramuses is like you. Perfect doop of the greedy idiot GOP rich.... It is getting obvious enough so that I think the Democrats can get real control pretty soon. At least we survived Trump so far. That's the way it goes forever in the United States....
Just wait til next time!!! It is to laugh. You do know, of course, that if they do change the rules to benefit themselves, the Republicans will just use the new rules to their own advantage and you'll once again be proclaiming everything to be owned by the GOP. Convenient little memory purge you have going on there.
All they care about is cutting taxes on the rich and giant corporations and cutting programs for regular people. So it wouldn't make any difference. And only brainwashed functional morons like you would vote for them as always.... Poor America
I know how horrible....allowing people to keep more money they earned so they can be independent and not dependent on some Govt program...the horror
Dependent on and controlled by.
 
so 26% of Americans have mental illness and there is really no mental health system. Just pills. Just might have something to do with all these killings and insanity on airplanes etc etc.

So why are we the only modern country without a living wage health care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations ID card to end illegal immigration? No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots from paying their fair share.

An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. In particular, depressive illnesses tend to co-occur with substance abuse and anxiety disorders.

I agree a good portion of the population needs mental health treatment. Of course you blame it all on the GOP, when in reality mental hospitals have been shut down in droves over the last several decades in blue cities and states.

By the way, what are all these other “modern countries” with “living wages” and cheap college?
It is simple... Tax Cuts... US has been cutting taxes for the last 75 years... They have now no money for Services...

As for Modern Countries
  • Germany
  • France
  • UK
  • Sweden
  • Norway
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • Ireland
  • Netherlands
  • Belgium
  • Switzerland
  • Australia
  • Italy
  • Israel
  • ......
All those have living wages... The main reason is they have safety nets and support like Healthcare, Education, Parental Leave, extensive social security net.... They have higher taxes but those taxes are used to help everyone, thus they have less crime especially serious crime..

That is a country 1/4 the size of US and they used 85 bullets in one year...

By the way that country Germany also ran a surplus from 2012 to 2019 and a sizeable one as well, they run a debt to GDP ration almost half of the US, They have free college and maintenance grands to poor kids, entry to college is on the students performance only and not how much there parents make... The best universities are public in Europe (not opinion, fact)...

The US used to be like this, back in the 1950s, taxes were high but they also had great services, GI bill as a good example... US used to see try and help people, the GOP policies of demeaning the poor as some some kind of twisted logic is now coming through... They try and pretend it is tough love when it is cruelty and detrimental for America.

Yep, who doesn't want to pay MUCH higher income taxes. Get a fricken job, damn leech.
  • Germany 47%
  • France 45%
  • UK 40%
  • Sweden 52%
  • Norway 25% + 25% VAT
  • Denmark 55%
  • Finland 66%
  • Ireland 52%
  • Netherlands 49%
  • Belgium 50% + 20% VAT
  • Switzerland 48%
  • Australia 45% + 10% VAT
  • Italy 47%
  • Israel 50%


The US government also performs financial assrapery on its people too, you know.

If someone goes out and gets a side-hustle, they have to pay 25% marginal rate plus 15% for both ends of social security plus state and local income taxes which are very high in Liberal Shitholes.

We are the richest country in the world easily and can do better than that. Is worth it to have great health care infrastructure paid parental leave daycare cheap college and training great retirement. You just love being brainwashed by greedy idiot mega riçh GOP swine.... Rupert Murdock and some real scumbag internet crazies.... Things like a living wage great vacations don't cost in taxes so??? Just the brainwash I guess...
 
When government is finally in charge of mental health we can have all the crazy people put in asylums where they belong.
 
Mental illness is not a joke, the only( out front) politician I can remember who closed mental health hospitals was Ronnie Regan

The closing of insane asylums started long before Ronaldus Magnus.

Really, the start to the whole decline of nut houses really began with the discovery of Thorazine in the early 1950's. It simmered down lunatics enough that they could be safely treated on an outpatient basis.

Further psychotropic phamaceuticals later came on the market to allow even more basket cases to be treated at home or in halfway houses.
But Ronald Reagan did it more than anyone and replaced it with nothing. No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots GOP rich from paying their fair share...
so 26% of Americans have mental illness


We call them "Democrats". Trump Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental health issue for our country.
Perhaps there is a connection to the 26% approximately who believe all GOP propaganda and can't change the channel for crying out loud.

Sorry this is not political this is about our crap GOP society of the last 40 years. Stress and hopelessness growing all the time...
how did reagan do that?
Tax cuts on the rich and giant corporations, and a flat tax system we have now. Giant giveaway to the rich screw job for everyone else and the country.
You can use the GOP rule of reconciliation for tax cuts and program cuts. Quite the scam
And of course the GOP filibuster rule to block anything. Quite a scam the last 50 years.
well the filibuster is more the 50 years old...it dates back to the Roman Empire...and used in the USA long before the GOP existed
It's a bit different when all you have to do is say I am filibustering that. They also have another rule where one senator can stop everything. Great job!
that’s not a new rule...the senate majority leader can still bring it to the floor and allow the perso to filibuster something

as far as your other rule...what is that? never seen that...
The filler buster used to be like in Mr Smith goes to Washington where it only lasted as long as you could keep talking on the floor. Now all you have to do is say I'm filibustering it and then those being filibustered have to overwrite it with 60 votes. Lol. I wonder how that slows things down lol.

Reconciliation rule is great for cutting taxes and programs on a budget. Then they only need 51 votes and that is how the GOP has been screwing you for the last 40 years. You really should try looking around the world's media instead of just listening to garbage from Rupert Murdoch and worse on the internet. Try Google News or the BBC or France 24 or anything but Fox News the New York Post the Wall Street journal the London Sunday times and the London sun.

And you still think the democrats are out to help you. How precious.
They already have in every other modern country, brainwashed functional moron. Only Republicans are so dumb misinformed and pathetic.....

Because prison helps scare people into working for low wages.
