    Ooof...I don't know if I have the time to type out a lucid response to that. It's a lot of thought.

    I think that, on paper, the idea of universal healthcare is fantastic. What human being could not like the concept of every person's health being taken care of? That's utopia, if ever there was such a thing.

    The problem with all social policies like this one is the cost of the program. As a country, we simply cannot afford all the entitlements. Get rid of Social Security - then talk about universal healthcare. Do it right. Put tort reform in there. If you're going to want the private sector in there, then you can't do things like forcing them to cover pre-existing conditions and then expecting them to keep premiums low. It's a business, and if they have to take a loss, they go out of business.

    Look what happened with flood insurance. The government got involved to offer a lower cost to flood insurance (because premiums in the industry were really high) and now the government is the only one in the flood insurance business.

    It would have probably been better to give everyone who qualified a tax credit if they bought health insurance rather than to cover them.

    What's the matter, AK? No "facts" to counter any of the information above?

  5. no, you're right bro; you know your current events, and are certainly entitled to your opinions. I have a different view of the matters you cited vis-a-vis Obama.

    Have a good New Year.

    btw: I asked you before what is your educational background and where you went to school; you did not reply.

    Can you explain what is your objection to "Fast & Furious" or "Solyndra"
    F & F: I object to tax payer funded covert operations to supply arms to drug cartels with the intent of making it look like we need more gun control imposed on the very tax payers paying for this travesty. Then having a US officer killed with one of those arms. Then having the AG lie before congress about the whole thing then claim he wasn't really lying due to his state of mind, while he was lying.
    Reminds me of when Clinton told his sheeple that oral sex isn't - sex.

    Solyndra: I object to 1/2 BILLION tax payer dollars being given to a company already all but bankrupt at a time when the US is all but bankrupt itself. It shows this administrations complete lack of judgment or any semblance of even basic common sense.

    "What the fuck" as in WTF would cause anyone with the IQ of a Lima to ask when the answers are so fucking obvious to begin with.

  7. I already did.Your conspiracy theories and opinions do not change these facts







    Fact-Since we are no longer losing 500,000 jobs a month,since the stock market is no longer in free fall,since Bin Landin and 22 of the top 30 Al Queada leaders are dead we are in fact better off then when Obama took office

  8. I know the numbers aren't completely accurate,but we aren't losing 500,000 plus jobs per month that we were when Obama took office

  9. Presidential polices do have an effect on the stock market,not day to day fluctuations but over a period of years they indeed do
