1. No, he can’t. He can only advocate for it, and he has.
2. We really have great health care. It’s just ridiculously expensive. So many people have advocated non-solutions (like single-player, without saying what policy changes it would effect, and tort reform, which is a proven failure) that few even have thought to consider what is causing those prices to rise, much less address those causes.
3. And the Democrats have been just as quick to war, and reluctant to cut the military.
4. So because Republicans are wasteful, that means Democrats aren’t? False argument. Both parties love to feed their special interests. They just have slightly different sets of special interests.
5. According to the trustees reports, Social Security is unsustainable. Spin may convince, but it doesn’t repair.
6. Thank you for pointing out where Libertarians are advocating a solution vs the old parties.
7. Right again. The point is?
8. Thankfully, that was the first thing that Democrats did when they got into power, wasn’t it?

One the issue of healthcare, the Democrats solution is not to change health insurance but to just put an end to the idea of health insurance and covert the system into a prepaid health system where young, healthy Americans are taxed/changed at a very high rate in order to fund almost unlimited spending for the elderly.
No risk management, no cost control, not one be of the use of actuarial idea means it is not insurance.
The Democrats have also proposed laying off more than one million health insurance workers and lowering reimbursement rates to health care providers in order to limit supply with no restraint on demand.
Both parties are bad: Vote republican.
No, get off the merry-go-round and pick a party that you believe in enough to help.
I like the propaganda graphics — they remind me of illustrations in books such as this.

In the real world, we must often settle for lesser of two evils, the GOP.
I wonder how agitated the immature are now that spending is acknowledged to be the federal government’s problem, and while entitlements, the core of the problem, still are having reform avoided, it won’t be that much longer before it gets at least discussed widely. The question isn’t if but how to reform them.

Good one. Not only are all things either equal or reality biased rightward, but most facts are really just leftwing propaganda. And good heavens, let’s not forget that science is also left-wing propaganda! So many subversives in our midst who actually think standards should be consistent… Damned rabble-rousers!
Horseshit.
The healthcare is good IF you can afford it. If you can’t, you’d damn well better stay healthy.
Well, those eight are. Which are you denying, that they’re facts, or that they’re meant to advance the left’s agenda?

Not a true blanket statement, for everywhere — that’s notably true in some places. Certainly so in Texas (at least in DFW), as I noticed. (Texas, the humid eastern core, is the South with oil and gas money, you could simplistically say [another blanket statement, yes].) I wonder if that’ll surface if Rick Perry joins the Presidential (or actually-trying-for-VP) GOP contest.
(In “Texas’s annex” [as my Big Tex Gal Pal jokes], New Mexico, it’s the antithesis of being awash in oil money, and the poor payments to providers results in a lot of … scarcity. Made worse by refusal to accept Medicaid and Medicare, of course…often it’s questionable if you get good health care, however you can get it.)
