What Is The Most Destructive Liberal Policy In The US Today?

[blastoff]

The LeftLibProgs are not clueless about their economics. They know exactly what Iron Lung Economics do to societies. They wreck them all, every single one, while funneling all wealth to the members of “The Party.” You know, the ones driving their limos in their special lane in the middle of the road; the ones on the private plane far, far overhead that never experience the proctological moment at the airport’s security checkpoint. Gerard Van der Leun

Oh c’mon! Next you’ll be telling us the daughter of a dead South American socialist honcho somehow ended up with billions of dollars in offshore bank accounts. Shame on you.

Paying poor people to make more of themselves.

Do you think a nation can expand with negative birth rates?

It shouldn't matter to a nation what it's birthrate is if it is a fiscally responsible nation.

All the debt load we have today were made using calculations figuring on the 10 and 12 kid families that were the norm back before the industrial revolution, and because the government refuses to ever cut money from programs let alone the programs themselves, they have to import 3rd worlders who DO have 10 and 12 kid families, as well as paying people here to pop them out, under the theory that even though 2 or 3 will be on the system their whole lives just like their mommy and daddy (of the week), 2 or 3 will become wards of the state in the prison system, keeping that industry afloat, and 2 or 3 should become productive taxpayers getting ganked for 80-90% of their pay.

All this because the government refuses to live within a budget, and let people decide for themselves whether or not they want kids. A standard 2 or 3 kids per household would be fine, IF this government lived within it's means and didn't have such a debt load it needs lots of people to help pay off.

And what you are not aware of -- SPECIFICALLY because you are stupid --- is the second part of my question...

What conservative policies would you replace them with? Or do you think just being against progress is enough? Do you think just maintaining the status quo is enough? If so, you are the establishment you pretend to be against

We don't like government. We don't like politicians. Not even our own and we especially despise yours.

Governments go to War, not people. Governments sanction slavery, not people. Governments created hardship and poverty.

Government is, always has been, and always will be, the enemy of The People.

Which is why we founded this Country based on the principle that "The Least Government is the Best Government". You really should look into that...

You, OTOH, see government as the creator of everything good. Everything good comes from government as far you're concerned. It is the Sacred Cow to you. It is what you worship. It is your God.

You believe government should ALWAYS be more powerful than The People.

You are the antithesis of Americanism.

42+ Democratic Accomplishments You May Not Know About

I often hear how liberal policies have destroyed America; mainly because liberal policies are intended to harm the bottom 90% of Americans while protecting the top 10% -- but I wanted to get your thoughts on what liberal policies destroyed America the most?

Here is a long list of what I am sure are some of the most well-known and destructive liberal policies in world history.....which one would you like to see ended the most and better still, why haven't these destructive policies been replaced with smarter more effective conservative policies?

And again, when I asked questions about policy, I want to talk about policy -- not how you feel about Obama or Bernie or the people who made fun of you back in high-school...I just want to talk about policies.

By the way, liberal doesn't always mean Democrat, and conservative doesn't always mean Republican....I know this is a hard concept for some of the members here to grasp.

Clayton Anti-Trust Act
Workers Compensation Act
National Labor Relations Act.
Social Security Act
GI Bill of Rights
Civil Rights Act of 1964
Medicare & Medicaid
40hr Work Week & Overtime Pay
Age Discrimination Act of 1967
Creation Of the EPA -- (Just kidding that was Nixon)
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act 1994
Welfare Reform Act (Clinton signed it right?)
Affirmative Action -- (ooops, that's Nixon again)
Family and Medical Leave Act
Earned Income Credit
Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009
Affordable Care Act <<--- (Or as Ben Carson called it, worse thing since slavery)
Credit CARD Act
Consumer Protection Agency
Elimination of tax incentives for companies shipping American jobs overseas, and creation of tax incentives to businesses bringing jobs home --- (Oops that was blocked by conservatives)
Health Care for 9/11 Emergency Responders -- (Oops that was blocked by conservatives)

You are correct. All the shit on that list is either worthless, a disaster, oppressive or just plain downright stupid.

The worst Liberal policy? Big government that robs us of our wealth and liberty.

You didn't read the list did you?

 

[Defiant1]

I vote the civil rights act.
It got the ball rolling so groups of minorities could get together and steamroller over an individual's rights.

So you were ok with individuals rights being DENIED -- as long as those individuals didn't look like you?

By the way, I hope you aren't one of those folks who will later claim on a different post that conservatives passed the Civil Rights legislation

I vote the civil rights act.
It got the ball rolling so groups of minorities could get together and steamroller over an individual's rights.

Civil rights act only increased individual rights.
Outlawed discrimination based on race, or religion or national origin. Voter registration made uniform. Ended racial segregation.

The government cannot discriminate, it is an individual's right to discriminate.
My property rights override your "right" to my property.

You didn't read the list either....

All you did was have a big hissy fit because people took the constitution seriously when it said "promote the general welfare" -- and they didn't just mean the welfare of corporations and the wealthy elites either...no matter how much you want otherwise

 

[Natural Citizen]

The monetary policy. But that's going by that modern screwed up definition of liberal which I assume you're using here.

How do you show that your property is yours?

Did the government have to give you some kind of deed or enforce some type of contract?

and yes, the government does discriminate, yes, the government does pick winners and losers -- or are you saying when you idiots whine about how the government is doing this or that to you, you are just bullshitting?

What the **** does the preamble have to do with anything, imbecile?

The preamble exists only as a justification for HAVING a Constitution, not as right or privilege.

This is just more of your "I hate America" bullshit.

go away

OH, so that's why you support abortion on demand.

Kill em because nobody wants em.

and you can add;


gays are out everywhere

pot is being decriminalized

divorce is easy to get (just ask the twice and thrice divorced republicans!)

everyone has sex outside of marriage(especially conservatives and republicans)

christians can no longer indoctrinate ALL of our children in our public schools

the number of secular Americans is rising while the number of christians is shrinking

interracial relationships are common

all because of liberal policies.....

Obamacare is the worst. It was said to save us $2500 a year, instead it took healthcare away from working Americans. Before Obamacare you paid for healthcare and went to the doctors for free. After Obamacare you pay for healthcare and then pay for treatment up to the $10,000 deductible!! WTF? That's paying twice!
They need to get back to healthcare means no deductible.

You go to the doctor for free after paying an insurance fee? How again is it free?

"went to the doctors for free" meaning no deductible or a very low co-pay.

They need to get back to healthcare means no deductible.

When I worked almost 20 years ago now (retired young) for a corporation, my portion of my Insurance was $8 every pay period, two a month.... so $16 a month, the Insurance deductible was $100/$200 for whole family , and the Insurance covered 80% of the bill. Prescriptions were $10, $5 if generic... and there was not a doctor around that did not accept the insurance policy.

After I retired, I had to go on my Husband's health Insurance policy that he got through his work.... His was only around $39 a month for his share, with pretty much the same coverage as mine, for him alone, but when I was added to it, it became a family plan and was around $100 a month....

in less than 5 years later, the fam yrly deductible was $1000, $500 each, and the policy was $300 a month, and it only covered 75% of the Bill after the deductible....

Then the deductible went up to $1000 each/ $2000 a family, and the coverage went down to 70%.... Prescripts were $20 and $10 for generic

This was ALL before ObamaCare was passed... prices were rising astronomically....

I agree with you on the deductibles now....they are ridiculously high!

You can pay more a month with a more expensive monthly premium and have lower deductibles and out of pocket expenses... if the company you work for has different level plans to choose from.... And some policies or most I believe, cover prescriptions immediately, and do not have to coe out of your deductible

but sheesh, it is a spin of the money wheel on which one is actually better for the two of you....

Every year I struggle on what to choose, policy wise.... and I always misjudge...

like I chose a plan that I thought was good for us, because neither of us had any prescriptions or monthly meds to take, with a $30 copay for prescriptions... then through the year, the hubby had one daily med to take and I was told I had to take 2 different meds.... so the plan I thought I would be saving money on in a slightly lower premium, ended up costing us an additional $90 a month for the prescription costs.

Yes, health care costs are a real issue, especially the deductibles and out of pocket expenses...

But KNOW that the larger deductibles and out of pocket expense was actually a Republican notion that the Dems picked up from them and their Republican health care plan they were proposing when Hillary was trying to get her health plan passed when Bill was President....

SUPPOSEDLY having high deductibles and out of pocket expenses on the individual, would give incentives for individuals not over using their health insurance, or basically putting pressure on the medical providers to not raise their prices or keep them lower... because the policy holder had a stake in the costs of medical care with such high out of pocket expenses....

this experiment of trying to ENGINEER a free market with these high deductibles, fails to do such, imho
