Does anyone here have figures for how much of government welfare is actually used erroneously?
But look at the policies that are long term helpful or harmful to the country, and don't look at just specific politicians or commentators that back those policies, but look at the general run of the people who back specific policies. The US has moved a vast distance to the right on economic policy in the near 30 years since Reagan was first elected. And that's most of the Democrats as well as all of the Republicans. And look where that's gotten us? Not only do we have more debt than ever before, but we have less ability to pay it.
Well, what has been deregulated in such times? Only things I've heard of are some stock and banking things during the Clinton and Bush administrations. Any other examples? I don't consider bailouts a right wing thing btw.

Nope, we are trying to be first in the world in justice, not trying to let us sink to third rate or worse.I thought you were a liberal? Isn't a liberals whole thing that we should just lay back and become a second-rate nation? After all, why do we have to be first in anything?
Pretty much since the founding. That's no excuse to accept further backsliding.We've been lacking in justice for a long time
It could get much worse if the galts gone wild get their way.It'd be pretty hard to be getting worse.
Where are the lynch mobs??
Which is quite an ironic statement given that capitalism is supposed to always be more efficient than socialism. But the US healthcare system has never been capitalistic. If it were, we would no longer have the drastic shortage of trained medical personnel or the lack of viable and competitive alternatives when it comes to hospitals, pharmaceuticals, testing laboratories, and insurance providers. Instead, what we really have is a government-controlled and subsidized scheme to defraud the taxpayers and the insurance customers, all so a few individuals (mostly doctors) can get filthy rich.
Through the government which deemed the AMA responsible for those decisions.That's not right. It was the doctors themselves that limited the supply of doctors to push up their incomes.
Which are largely owned and controlled by doctors, as are the hospitals, medical labs and the insurance companies.Big Pharma manipulates the patent laws to push up the costs of meds.
That's not capitalism. if there was capitalism, we would be able to select the doctor, the hospital, the medical labs, and even the insurance policies based on competition instead of coercion.All of these things, and millions more, are what capitalism does to drive up the costs of health care.
