The reality is democrats are saying they can give everyone healthcare and GOP say you cannot.


The point is if Americans want European and Canadian style health care they need to start paying far higher taxes overall.

 

 

Or, just a thought, we could stop being one of THE biggest military spenders in the world. The US spends more on "defense" budget per year, than most of the other top countries combined. It's not even close. If we stopped spending many billions on "defense" every year, there is an AWFUL lot those resources could go to, actually helping people here at home.

That'd be great but its no secret that a significant percentage of the US Defense budget goes to protecting many European countries, many of which got to florish because they don't have to worry about spending truckloads of money on military. Cut the budget and we'll see many unhappy countries who haven't invested much money into defending themselves into a precarious position.
