Actually, Pie, I don't.

I've always been very polite to you even though our politics do not agree, so I feel it was quite unnecessary to uninvite me off 'your' thread..'your' thread.

I directed nothing at you. You took it as a personal attack and flippeddafuckout.

People come in here trolling because they think it is a nontopic or they just dislike me.

I was merely pointing out that noone is forcing them to participate in this thread.

Meanwhile your "friends" treat you like shit direct to your face and you say, "please sir, may i have another?"

I don't even quote you and immediately you lash out. If only you defended yourself from actual attacks as much as you do with "perceived" attacks.

you eternal food stamp stooge.
Decade is stretching it quite a bit. More than double. But you never cared about facts. Youve always been about the game.

Im sure you will fabricate an interesting story about my parents next.

It must piss you off that smaller states have bonus votes.

Slaveholders were for direct popular vote too.

Yes because we had a period where we did not qualify because i started school and did not work enough hours to qualify.
I had 16-18 hours a week and went to school. Had to work 20 hours to get FS. Employer would not increase hours.

Its the law. Go to school halftime or more and they require 20 hours of work to receive fs.

You guys assume things without knowing circumstances and laws involved. Not that you ever cared to know.

This is just a game to you.:sleep:

Seriously though pie, if you depend on social safety nets why would you vote against your own best interests? I support social programs. I don't mind my tax dollars going towards helping others. It's kinda ass backwards though... I've never utilized a social safety net in my life, and I vote progressive, and you have relied on social assistance, and you vote for the party that wants to cut you off. What is your main motivation to vote against your own interests?

Not trying to pigeon hole you here, but it's usually issues like gay marriage, abortion, religious ideology, etc that are cited from conservatives as the reasons they vote Republican. That makes no sense to me. How does it impact your life if two dudes want to get married?

This is about the most pathetic cry for attention I've ever seen. Get a puppy if you crave attention.
Did you read all the posts? Buckie tried to make me look a liar to start a pissing match and posted I Joined RIU in mid 2016., when I referred to how things were in the good old days. He knows that's not true. His lackeys ate that up and piled on. I called him and them on it. Doesn't take Perry Mason see srh88 looked it up but wasn't man enough to admit Buckie made a fool of him, or admit the truth. He thought deflecting was good. Buckie used the Ostrich, head and sand dodge and logged off for several hours What would you have done? You punch up overgrowem and post what it sez, you have no dog in this fight.

you did join in 2016 though.

I want there to be more opportunities for everyone. I want our nation to be run without all the waste fraud and abuse. I want my daughter to have a shot at the american dream.

Noone is talking about shutting down medicaid. Vouchers for people to opt out of programs does not mean that people who opt to stay in will get the boot. People in need will have access to medicaid.

I believe in the power of supply and demand. Right now there is low demand for american products and labor. Things need to change.

I think our inner cities need to be rescued. They have been run into the ground by corrupt officials.

I think we need to stop taking care of the rest of the world and concern ourselves with our problems here. Take care of our citizens before noncitizens. Why are we taking in refugees and illegal immigrants when we cannot afford to take care of the people here.

9% of our nation is underemployed. 25% of african americans and native americans live below the poverty level. Our manufacturera are leaving to take advantage of lower taxes in neighboring countries.

What we have been doing isnt working. We damn sure cannot be fucking around with every leader in the ME when they don't want to play politics. We made a mess going into iraq, a mess getting out, and a mess trying to rout out ISIS.

It isnt just one issue with me.

BREAKING: GOP Announces Privatization Of Medicare And The Details Are TERRIFYING

Republicans have long talked about repealing Obamacare and privatizing Medicare — major changes that are terrifying for anyone who’s not a millionaire or billionaire like the Republicans who now have the power to do what they want with both.

According to the chairman of the House Budget Committee, Tom Price, Republicans are planning to privatize Medicare in a budget reconciliation bill this year.


The bad news? Ryan basically has free reign to do it. A majority Senate allows for the budget reconciliation to be passed without a filibuster.

Ryan calls his proposal “premium support,” which includes changing Medicare from a single payer system where the government directly pays for health care to one where recipients would use their government benefits to buy private insurance.

This means seniors would have to fight to navigate private insurance options to ensure they get what they need. To make matters worse, private insurance is more expensive than Medicare currently is, thus critics of Ryan’s proposal fear that seniors will take a hit in terms of quality health care services under Ryan’s “premium support” system.

Instead of a transaction between the government and health care providers, Ryan’s plan includes a private middle man — yet another person who needs a cut of the profits. Despite claims to lower costs, this won’t be feasible without lowering the standard of health care citizens receive.

Ryan’s “premium support” plan is based on his 2011 proposal — a proposal that the Congressional Budget Office found costs senior citizens twice as much under Ryan’s plan than traditional Medicare.

Under Ryan’s plan, the average 65-year-old American would spend 49 percent of their Social Security benefits on health care, instead of the current 22 percent.

But it gets worse.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Congressional Budget Office, older adults can expect to spend even more:

‘Plans would be permitted to vary premiums by age, charging higher premiums to older beneficiaries and lower premiums to younger beneficiaries.’

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, private companies will try to ensure lower utilization rates by putting measures in place to deny clients coverage for certain things. Basically, insurance will become a hassle.

The Kaiser Family Foundation also went on the state that:

‘The CBO believes the total costs of providing a similar benefit package would be higher under private plans than Medicare, and that the differential between the costs under traditional Medicare and the costs under private plans would widen over time.’

Basically, Ryan wants to shift the burden of extra health care costs away from the government and onto Americans, all while generating revenue for big businesses in the process. Like most of his Republican colleagues, he doesn’t want to help anyone — he wants to make a profit.

It’s ironic, isn’t it? Donald Trump yammered on about “draining the swamp” throughout his entire presidential campaign, yet his party is simultaneously planning to profit off of privatized health care while Americans suffer in the process.
