Yes; on medicine, schools, infrastructure the whole lobbyist scene, the problem isn’t too few laws and regulations, it is too many. We can’t build infrastructure without letting lawyers wet their beaks, not just once, but for years and years. The nuclear industry in the US is paralyzed by legal vultures. The schools are broken, but there is no solution to the problem, and any attempt is met with frantic opposition. Can;t fire terrible teachers or promote good ones because of the unions.
Americans also get more for the money they spend. There has been a revolution in medical science and capabilities. New drugs with astonishing effectiveness, new treatments for the formerly untreatable. “Health care reform” would end much of that, new treatments are too expensive to give to everyone, so therefore none can have them.
really? even if the repubs are blocking stuff that would help the country? lmao way to defend dragging America down
so you are saying all those laws and regulations are bad for the population and the country ?
so you blindly choose whoever “blocks” whatever because you like it? so i had a bill to protect your freedoms and the other side blocked it, you would like it? silly logic, try again jwka2001.
hahah thanks, i know, brains are hard to find online,, especially for Young Turk videos. They piss me off so much. I mean sure they can have their own opinion, but they hardly ever have any facts/logic behind them. They are of course leftist, just 1 side of the same coin, republicans on the other of course. Libertarians like me try to point out that its just a show, red vs blue. Like how most things have literally a red/blue choice, but overall they are the same Pepsi/Coke as a simple example.
Huh, I at least guessed both those correctly but I didn’t realize the GOP is actually literally blocking everything the Democratic Senate does.
Holy shit, someone with a brain,
i love whatever party blocks bills, usually that means they are sparing freedom just a little longer. During bush, dems blocked bush’s bills, and i liked that, during obama, rep’s are doing it, which i like. Freedom is the only thing important, and any party that will preserve it just a little longer i like em. Thank god im libertarian, but shame most people arent. Including this TYT fool. Grow up cenk.
$2.4 trillion spent on health care in 2008, 17% of GDP. $3.0 trillion projected by 2012, $4.3 trillion by 2016. By 2017 health care will be 20% of GDP. We spend more than anyone, including countries that cover all their citizens. I don’t care who I have to pay, government or private. I don’t care about the politics – deregulate, single payer, whatever. Just do it! This “crisis” isn’t new, it’s been building for decades. Neither party has any excuse. The time to act was 1993!
That is an awesome point, the democratic party message machine has been broken for a long long time. you are doing a great job!
@CmdrTobs, I just read your original post, I didn’t catch that you started your post with quotes from who you were quoting, thanks for the defense and sorry I attacked you without paying attention.
@TheDalinkwent This has been an engaging discussion but I really am wasting too much time on this. So rather than sit here and come up with more arguments I’m going to end it here. I respect your point of view, please respect mine. This whole argument/discussion began because you searched my post history, found one that you disagreed and attacked it. It has nothing to do with the original post.I’m done playing games, if you choose claim this as a victory so be it, I’ll not stoop to that level.
@TheDalinkwent He never liked the idea of sending money to bail out banks. Find a statement where he said that. He at first glance thought that it might be a necessary evil. That doesn’t mean he was a supporter of giving them money. If you’re not trying to trap a man in his words and you listen on a regular basis and know the angle he is coming at it makes perfect sense.
@bigd4316, my arguement is not about wether Beck supported the bailout and changed his mind, my argument is that Beck supported the bailout, and then claimed he “didn’t support giving them money in the FIRST place” he is denying that he EVER supported the bailout. using the phrase “in the first place” means from BEGINNING, START
Example
” I didn’t provide you evidence in the first place”
meaning I never provided you evidence from the start.
@TheDalinkwent I’ve already conceded that Beck supported them at one time he just changed his mind. That doesn’t change my previous stance. He didn’t say he “never” supported the bailout. He just didn’t think they went about it right. Maybe he was right, maybe he was wrong, but this statement is not contradictory. I’d also like to point out that there is a difference between knowing what the best thing to do is and actually wanting to do it. Beck never “wanted” to give the bankers a bailout.
@bigd4316, I can understand people changing there mind, since complex issues take different shapes and forms as it progresses, but Beck said himself
” the real story is the 700 billion that your hearing about now is not only, I believe necassary, it is also not nearly enough, and all the weasels in washington know it”
He clearly didn’t mind giving them more money , changing his mind is not my beef, but denying he ever supported the bailout is.
How can the R’s block anything? The dem’s heald 60 seats. The people stopping anything are the bluedogs, and thank god for them.
@TheDalinkwent You can’t put emphasis like that on one word if the person saying it does not. Even besides that point though if you listen to Beck regularly you know that even when he was for the bailout it wasn’t because he wanted to give them the money, he just thought the economy would tank if they didn’t. He changed his mind. The problem is that you want Beck to have said something stupid so you have another reason to label him as incredulous because you disagree with him.
what’s sadder then those poll numbers? The fact that you Turks don’t even know that the Republicans couldn’t block anything all last year. You talk about the 60 votes, the Democrats had 60 votes. And they still have so much of a majority in Congress that dozens of democrats can vote against the party and the vote will still pass.
Stop trying to blame Republicans for the Democrats being unable to keep their house in order.
Thank goodness the republicans do block all the bullshit the democrats try to foist upon us…now if only the democrats would block all the republican bullshit, the country would be a whole lot better off.
Perhaps if the members of both parties would read, understand, and actually follow the constitution, our country would begin to prosper again.
Oh wait, that’s just too fucking much to ask, as without the false dichotomy and infighting, we the people might actually think we’re free.
Uygur ? Is that a Rhoam name?
Looks like a gypsy, lies like a gypsy….just wondering!
Does the “R” in this title stand for the “R Word” that we can’t say anymore?
Great American Hannity is…………
@frwgt350net, so are you going to go on a Sean Hannity tirade or are you just trying to be funny?
