Why can't the US do as well as France, for instance?

And the question remains: the Republicans had over SEVEN years to develop a thorough, coherent healthcare delivery system, and they are still trying to do so. Just possibly Republicans AND Democrats could cooperate to REPAIR the ACA?????????? Or are Republicans fixated on scoring points rather than serving ALL the people?

Careful, George, common sense will never prevail as long as the extremists on both sides are in office.

It is the same concept. The libs are brainwashed into thinking that the rich people are the enemy in any economy.
The free market and trickle down economics works fine as long as government doesn't go in and start tinkering with the mechanics and deciding for itself where the money is supposed to flow.


Sam Brownback the governor of Kansas consulted with Laffer of the famous curve and cut taxes, turning a comfortable surplus into a large deficit. The Legislature raised taxes to fund little things like schools, etc. Brownback vetoed the bill, the Legislature overruled his veto! An interesting experiment in trickle down economics, also known as supply side economics.

Why is it that you liberals keep comparing this country with others ??
This country is not like any other. We have our own Constitution that has outlasted any other form of government.

If you all want what the others have so badly, by all means use the freedom you have and MOVE YOUR ASS THERE and leave the rest of us the hell alone !!

Your comment has nothing to do with my statement.

They could have left with Rosie OD but the planes have weight limits. Rosie alone needs a military transport. Wait a minute. I'm pretty sure she never left. Another lying lib.

Your posts sound as though you believe you represent a majority point of view. I don't believe you do.

When they find out just how good the other countries are, they aren't in such a hurry to leave.
Our goal is to keep them from Massing up what is supposed to be protected.

Do you drive a car? Apparently you use a computer. The world has changed. If the constitution had been treated like you think it should from it's beginning, it could still be treated that way, but it would be much longer and complicated that it now is. I'm not saying you shouldn't lobby for what you think is right. I'm just saying that many people don't agree with you. Probably more than do agree with you, so unless you can make a case that you are being harmed things are unlikely to go your way. Even some of the things you want that might be good can't be realized without a lot of harm being done.

I don't think you understand the concept of what the Constitution is.
Recap:

The Constitution is our nation's law book. It cares not what people want or how they want it. It states specifically what is expected of people and how things are to be done. It doesn't change because people don't like what it says.
It is the law.

You are really misguided. If you take away the FU'ed California crowd you'll find that he does represent the majority of the country.
