You have a strange misconception in your head whereby not having the last word somehow equates to running away in your mind.......
We know that a flat tax, on the revenue side of the ledger, can work, ie. fully fund government operations, if the rate is high enough, or expenditures are low enough, or some combination of both. We may not like the rate, or the expenditure cuts, but that is immaterial to the equation. Therefore it is logical to assume that an expenditure like universal healthcare can be fully funded without raising the deficit, if other budget variables are adjusted accordingly. In fact, the deficit could be shrinking while you are spending more on healthcare, if other expenditures are cut even more. There should be no objections to that, since so many of you want smaller government. Not to mention that we have not addressed (here) the supply side of healthcare, eg. the AMA is currently supporting (and I believe this is rare) the idea of creating more doctors. I sincerely hope that some stimulus dollars were spent on growing medical school classroom space and seats. In any case it is not necessary, strictly speaking, to borrow from the future.
Sorry Ricter, i like you but this is definately one of the stupidest things that has ever been said on elite trader......
Ofcourse, name calling and running away after making stupid assertions are all fine as long as you don't get called out for it.
Everything you post is stupid. You calling someone stupid is a hoot! You should head on over to the DailyKOS you prick.
