NP. I don't think you're focusing on the most important thing here, but I will try to address your concerns: -No one should be cussing anyone out or telling them to go to hell for their views, I am sorry that happened. -I agree with you that we need to get rid of waste and redundancy in all programs, especially defense and the ridiculous $$ that goes to health insurance companies and other useless, no-value add jackals who get rich off all Americans' inevitable illness and death. -Depriving poor children of health care is pretty much the last place we should cut funding, particularly when we have just given away trillions to the billionaire donor class. |
I'm the PP you're addressing, and two points: 1) Thanks for understanding how wrong it is for cussing anyone out for their views (unless they're really heinous, like Hitler's) 2) I agree with you on all of YOUR points. Never said we should cut funding for children's health care. If you've read the thread, I was criticizing redundancies in delivering that care. If anything, correcting the inefficiencies could free up more money for the service itself (as opposed to the administration) But thanks again. I wish there were more liberals like you around. If this forum is a fair representation (and maybe it isn't), you're rare among liberals. |
He is also tired of not getting the oil from Bears Ears and Grand Staircas Federal Parks. Trump is fixing that though. |
Uh...Republicans have already done that. We need a different game plan. |
I am not sure I am rare but I don't know. I also would like to say I don't like illegal immigration and I support enforcing our borders. If we want to tighten or loosen immigration restrictions that's another convo I guess. I wish we could get back to a more moderate shared agenda. That said, I am a classic lib I guess in that I support protecting the environment and taking steps to stop climate change, and I think defense spending is inflated and is another industry where jackals come in (defense contractors) and feed at the trough to the tune of billions. If all this gov't feeding in health care, education, federal contractors (consultants) and defense mostly benefited a robust middle class of workers I would be more ok with it as a kind of jobs program, but it seems to mostly enrich corporations and their executives. We need to reduce inequality, it is sickening our society and killing the earth with waste. Most importantly, and the issue I fervently wish our artificial "both sides" system could agree on is: GETTING THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS It has corrupted the system, and as a result we have elected officials who represent rich donors, corporations, and lobbyists. They do not represent the people. |
Maybe if you didn't spout obnoxious superficial generalizations about "liberals," you would interact with more of them. I have a feeling that it's just 1 or 2 people on this forum who start posts that say "Liberals think x or Why do liberals always do y" and it's so off-putting. Why bother engaging with someone who seems to be trolling? |
