Germany's system is just as much of a failure as France's, England's, Canada's and any other nations who stupidly believe that a lack of services, specialists and long wait times are great things.
You need to get our of your mom's basement more snowflake.
Germany's economy compared to ours is in dire trouble snowflake. It is a nation lacking in natural resources and dependent on foreign oil. It is a nation wallowing in Socialist debt and which taxes its citizens at confiscatory rates.
I do wish you had even the slightest clue of what you are emoting about.

socialism would suffer the same effects of evil people getting power and trashing the system for personal gain
socialism will NEVER work as a system
give up on it as a driving force of a nation
well fettered capitalism
its what our founders chose for GOOD REASONS
it has self correcting elements to it
It keeps the money CHANGING HANDS
it operates on the POWER OF A BETTER IDEA ( IF PROPERLY FETTERED)
the fettering can be adjusted in response to current conditions
socialism runs into a system where the motivations can be easily manipulated by the wrong person ion the wrong place
Democratic Republic henged on capitalism that the PEOPLE can control by REGULATIONS AND TAXES
it works great when you don't have a party ( the Retrumpagain party) aimed at destroying the Union
what we need to rid ourselves of is a corporation that pumps put LIES and calls its self news and a party that cheats to the high heavens to STEAL the Power from the voters
Hello guno,
Yup.
Called it in post 6:
"This is the kind of thread which is usually scrolled off into oblivion in short order. Nobody wants to admit the downsides to capitalism or that we may have better options for part of our economy. If anybody comments, it will be the old meme that we have to choose between capitalism or socialism."
Capitalism and socialism work together to give us a better economy that neither could give us alone.
That has already been happening.
If Trump is supposed to be making America great again, when exactly did he think America was great in the past?
In the 1920's, which lead up to the Great Depression?
The 30's with soup lines and bums with no work?
How about the 40s? The world at war.
How about the 1950's when the USA was king of the world after WWII?
Bingo. That's when America was great.
Lotsa socialism then. We taxed the rich at 90%. We built hospitals, airports and interstate highways with the money. Those things made America great. Work that paid so much one earner could support a family, buy a house, have savings, take vacations, have health care and retirement. And all the time paying SOCIAL Security. Things were so great we had a baby boom. Even WITH the socialism. Minimum wage, forced overtime pay. 40 hour work week. And on and on. Socialism and capitalism working hand in hand. We used our government to TELL TV Networks they HAD to put on the news, even though it was not profitable then. They didn't do it for the money. They did it because the government FORCED them to.
I'll tell ya what screwed up the news.
As soon as it began to turn profits.
Up until then it was just the information.
This happened. That happened. Done. Back to the Jack Par show.

You can call it whatever you want. Germany is a Socialist Republic. Their citizens are heavily taxed and their country has no way of sustaining their welfare state. They import labor to do the dirty work because German youth have discovered they don't need to work.
I was born there you brain dead lunatic.

Do you know when healthcare ceased to be a market ?Some markets are not really markets at all. Like health care. That's not a market. That's institutionalized rip off. The capitalist model breaks down there. It hurts society. That's why we need socialized health care. For the good of society and all that comes from having a very healthy nation. A healthy nation is more productive! That's win/win.
Look up the price spiral and you will see it correlates to the advent of Medicare.
Government is the problem, not the solution.
You want the benefit of smart shopping without the effort. Convenience comes at a cost.

TD: "Using you and Politalker as the example, I would say that the population has not been educated, but rather, indoctrinated."
Jack: Do you support an educational system that is based on payment? Every quarter needs to be paid for in advance?
TD: "Having healthcare paid for by someone else will never make anyone healthy."
Jack: Like Public Schools, Public Health would be paid for by everybody.
