gmeyers1944, I can think of an excellent career for you. You should write campaign speeches and campaign literature for Republican politicians. I recommend that career, because I trust your integrity. You say what Republican politicians really think. If the voters knew what the GOP really stands for, the Democrats would control the United States.
Costs started going up when the federal govt got involved with healthcare. Just like education.You do not prove that by asserting it.
Every country has different healthcare costs. Twenty-three countries spend more than $3,000 on healthcare per capita based on 2018 data. According to the OECD, the ten countries that spend the most on healthcare per person are:
- United States ($10,586)
- Switzerland ($7,317)
- Norway ($6,187)
- Germany ($5,986)
- Sweden ($5,447)
- Austria ($5,395)
- Denmark ($5,299)
- Netherlands ($5,288)

The other countries have socialized medicine. They have lower infant mortality rates,
and higher life expectancy.
Life Expectancy by Country
Life expectancy is a measure of how long the average person lives in a given country, and these are the countries with the highest and lowest life expectancies.www.infoplease.com
The reason health care costs so much in the United States and gives such bad results is the insurance industry. In the United States money goes to insurance companies, which in civilized countries goes to health care.
We need to get the insurance companies out of health care, and let the government take care of everything, like it does in the civilized world. And do you know something? I do not care that the over rated "Founding Fathers" would have disapproved.
Are you saying the republicans follow the Constitution?
No politician follows your interpretation of the Constitution because he would not be elected. The American consensus has moved far beyond what the over rated "Founding Fathers" had in mind.Are you saying the republicans follow the Constitution?
It was simply a check on govt. The wording is clear for the most part.
Budgetary problems are caused by Republican tax cuts for the rich. Republican politicians pretend that tax cuts for the rich will pay for themselves. When this does not happen, the blame the resulting deficits on the Democrats.Govt cant even do a budget and this dumbass wants them to control our healthcare
Just think, a bunch of corrupt, dumb, farmers and lawyers, controlling our HEALTH.
Americans, by a majority, are stupid as fuck.

Please get a job writing campaign speeches and campaign literature for Republican politicians. The voters have the intelligence to realize that what you recommend will harm them.
IE the govt cant budget. JesusBudgetary problems are caused by Republican tax cuts for the rich. Republican politicians pretend that tax cuts for the rich will pay for themselves. When this does not happen, the blame the resulting deficits on the Democrats.
In 1945 the national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) was 114%. By the time President Carter, of beloved memory, left office this had declined to 32%. The decline continued during the wars in Korea and Vietnam. During this time the top tax rate never declined below 70%, and was often much higher. Reagan cut the top tax rate to 28%. The national debt as a percentage of GDP rose to 50%.
President Clinton increased the top tax rate somewhat. During his presidency the national debt as a percentage of GDP declined somewhat. Then President George W. Bush cut taxes for the rich, while starting two expensive wars he could not win. Trump cut taxes for the rich even more. When he left office the national debt as a percentage of GDP had risen to 129%.
U.S. National Debt by Year
The U.S. national debt grew to a record $34 trillion by the end of 2023. It was just $16 billion in 1930.www.thebalance.com

For years public opinion surveys have indicated popular support for a more progressive tax system.

I agree with the consensus. I do not care one bit that the over rated "Founding Fathers" would have disapproved.
Or i stay here and make people like you look stupid.
You proved me right, dumbass.
I showed a graph and you ignroed it, then have the gall to say this?
You dont win by being an ignorant, regressive, illiberal authoritarian.
What you are overlooking is that the segregated schools were the result of another “popular” SCOTUS decision. Going that route is a really bad idea. The courts must limit themselves and the government to things that are clearly allowed by the Tenth Amendment.
A new constitution would gut the federal government. You see, all those red fly over states would have to approve it and the citizens of those states are sick and tired of federal over each. In a constitutional convention, the population of the states doesn’t matter, just the number of states, one state, one vote. The handful of liberal, powerful states couldn’t use their population numbers to tilt the playing field like they normally do in D. C..
