What if fire departments decided not to put out fire because the costs would be to high and there would not be profit involved. That is why fire departments and police forces are socialized because they are for the benefit of the people.

Hardly.... but since you aren't informed either....it just seems that way to you.... like high magik.

Neither one of you have demonstated you can look at the entire subject with honesty or an educated opinion.

Psst.... and one of you is a troll. :wink:

Hint: NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE comes to RIU and hangs on the political threads right off. This is a place for weed.

You aren't fooling anyone.... so the question is.... how many aliases have you worn out so far? You must be like an Einstein or something eh? :lol:

Do the troll dance for me...

Fire Departments are not a Federal issue. They are administered locally under the supervision of each state.

Same thing goes for Police.

And, big surprise, the same thing goes for Health Care or Health Insurance or whatever term the Proggies are using today. It is a state issue.

And for the record, I never referred to you as a 'stooooopid college kid.'

You took care of that yourself. :twisted:

Shame on you, CJ. You disagree with Balzac89.

You must be a Birther!

Deport Obama!

Politroll strikes again!

Ok....

Again, costs are lower for healthcare in germany and france, everyone is covered and yes, you do have access to world class medicine.

If you consider that the US has 5 times the population of germany, france or the UK, it doesn't really look like we're dominating it. HIV was discovered in a french and an american lab at around teh same time, by the way...

And take it from me...I've lived there. Healthcare is excellent and insurance is affordable for everyone.

I'm not even arguing for obama's plan here. I'm just calling the bullshit of claiming that we have the best system in the world for delivering healthcare. It's simply not true, so by repeating it you are either woefully misinformed (by talk radio and fox news would be my guess...) or extremely dishonest.

The insurance industry sucks money AWAY from our healthcare. How does that make us healthier?

I love how you completely ignore the point and muck it up with your bs. My point was all of these programs had to be socialized to prevent greed. Idc if its on state or federal level. You seem to forget that Federal trumps state.

You are correct, you cannot reduce cost by shifting the cost off to another party or future generations. I agree with you on this topic. No disagreement with your logic here.

Something puzzles me though...you seem to grasp this topic (healthcare) very well yet you think by approving incarcerating a man for 35 years that is an effective way to end prohibition on drugs.

If you can't reduce costs by "adding" costs, how do you advance a cause (ending prohibition) by endorsing the
wrongful actions of the opposition?

I'm puzzled by your inconsistent logic, from one topic to another, what am I missing?
Cracker...Yoo hoo...over here. :mrgreen:

That's fairly obvious. :roll:

And you can look up the 10th Amendment to the actual Constitution.

And you can keep your fake bill of rights ginned up by a Progressive dictator.

/Sarcasm on.

Hey, here's an idea!

Currently, the fire department comes and puts out the fire at your house then goes back to the station.

But what about the poor schlub who did not purchase fire insurance?

It's unfair!

I propose Nationalized Fire Insurance.

If you don't buy it you will be fined, but if your house burns down you may purchase insurance after the fact anyway.

Fuck those greedy insurance companies.

/Sarcasm off.

lol i never said I agree with the current legislation, you just assume so. I support Obamas original bill that called for a government healthcare option. Then the Republicans got ahold of the bill and amended it and cut out public option and added the provision that called for all americans to get private healthcare and pay a fine if they do not. I do not support that and never said i did.

I wonder who came up with the provision that called for all americans to buy private healthcare? It couldn't be those big healthcare insurance companies coudl it?

No more misinformed or dishonest than someone who puts up a list from an anti-American organization like the WHO putting American Health Care at #37 on the list.

And I am sure you might hear some disagreement from those wealthy foreigners who come to the U.S. for treatment.

And let's not forget all the foreigners who come, either legally or illegally, from the Third World shitholes on the list. Some just for the purpose of downloading their anchor babies so they can take advantage of our shitty system.

And while we're on the subject of how great health care is elsewhere....

How would those European countries have fared without the Marshall Plan to rebuild their shattered economies?

Or how wonderful would their systems be without NATO providing for their common defense?

you wouldnt want to get cancer in europe. you will be for sure dead.the USA has the best health care system in the world (albeit expensive)
again i ask you progressives what does the government run they do not fuck up >? and NOT ONE OF YOU ANSWERED ME. amazing isnt it.
maybe if the government just started small to fix things ..maybe with a small item they could try and get right before the make the whole health care industry communist.17% of the US GDP.
maybe they could fix a school someplace and show us they can be competent and manage money maybe?
i know maybe they could fix social security and medicare. i know..that would be asking too much to ask them to fix something have have fucked up ..like everything they touch before we give these crooks control of the health care industry .
it is really mind boggling how stupid progressives are.or how stupid they think everyone else is.
just to let you know people vote their pocket books in this country and with a 21 % unemployment rate you can look for a republican avalanche victory. it is estamated they will pick up as many seats as 155 in the house and over ten in the senate.
