    No, 29,000 people die every year in this country because of lack of health care.

    And no one dies in other countries because of rationing.

    You're conflating elective procedures like face-lifts with essential and necessary procedures like bypass and organ transplants.

    Then prove to me why/how the repeal of Glass/Steagall caused the 2008 mortgage crisis and economic collapse.
    Also, I never said Glass/Steagall didn't impact the load markets. Perhaps you should stop using a Strawman Argument. It shows you don't comprehend debating topics intelligently.

    And you conveniently didn't answer my question so I'll ask it again:

    Do you think Bush Jr deserves any amount of blame for the 2008 mortgage crisis and economic collapse? If so, how much?
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    But they don't really own their homes; the banks do.

    And not sure why you want to tout home ownership since that is what got us into the mess in the 2000's as you tried to juice the housing market to make the economy look like it was growing as a result of tax cuts, when it was really growing as a result of debt, debt, debt.

    No it didn't boom, you tool.

    If it did, then there wouldn't have been a recession or the S&L crisis.

    Have you ever worked in a large corporation? Obviously not because you really don't have the slightest clue of what you are emoting about.

    Obama was the most inexperienced leftist moron to ever inhabit the White House and you want to bloviate stupidly about Trumps experience. STFU

    Medicare-for-All is part of the Democratic Platform now, with several Democrats introducing that legislation int he Senate.

    Ocasio-Cortez won because she campaigned on Medicare-for-all.

    Completely wrong.

    All a single payer system does is administer payments from one premium pool everyone pays a fixed % into, to providers.

    That's it; it's just an administrative change...one that saves us money because we no longer are paying overhead to insurance companies.

    But but but...

    We were told that if we cut the corporate tax rate down to 21%, it would lead to 4-5% growth and a booming stock market.

    That's what y'all promised back in December.

    Now you're trying to find excuses for why your policy isn't delivering on its promises, when excuses are unnecessary. The policy sucks. There's nothing more to it than that.

    What is up over 10%? I don't know what you're referring to.

    And worker pay has declined.

    No answer for that, of course.
