What attempt at socialized medicine? The public option didn't even make it out of committee, and single payer (which still isn't socialized) wasn't even discussed in committee.
Lots of tax cuts, a few token cuts in spending, while increases in others. Biggest cuts in social spending, decreasing buying power.What likely legislation would they actually pass into law?
You have more than a year of unemployment benefits, what more do you want?
Its not the government's job to pay for your living, its your job.
I wonder if we would lock up White American boat people...
Yes, it would be terrible if we abandoned the "only the rich deserve care" system.
Well, you are called Evil AbeYes because all conservatives are rich, and all who are rich are evil, and us rich evil conservatives wish to oppress the peasantry!
Yes, because all liberals think alike, and all consider conservatives evil, etc etc etc.Seriously? Is this how liberals view conservatives? Our system needs some changing no doubt about it but I don't trust the government to make health care decisions for me and I hope it never comes to that.
You know what would happen?
Meet the new Boss
Same as the Old Boss
The American political system is so hedged in with checks and balances the scope for any sort of radical departure from the same, centre-right social development as has characterised the country for several generations is very, very difficult. Obama is a classic case. The man wanted to entirely rip up the play book on health care and has been stymied at every turn. So much so that it's hard to see what real benefits accrue from the bill he's managed to pass o nthe matter.Problem with that is that the new boss in this case would have half the brains and sense of GW Bush.
I disagree, its the worst thing that is going to happen to the US and the only values that are being brought to the table is "pamper the rich, screw the poor".It would be the best thing that could happen to the USA. Our great country would go back to its core values.
http://washingtonindependent.com/102482/tea-party-patriots-lay-claim-to-the-political-center-in-debates-to-comeThe Tea Party Patriots, one of the the largest Tea Party umbrella organizations, with over 1,000 local chapters, hosted a press conference this morning to offer its reactions to last nights elections and its vision going forward.
Co-founder Mark Meckler tried to pre-empt expectations among the faithful that Washington would shrink and the federal deficit would close overnight, instead alluding to a forty-year plan that the group was busy working out with its members. The plan, according to Meckler, was a highway with four lanes, only one of which was explicitly political. The other three were educational, judicial and cultural.
All civilizations and empires have fallen because their cultures became decadent, Meckler said. We need to lift up conservative culture, family values and wholesome things by supporting conservative musicians, writers, artists and producers.
