    Yes if our Congress would stop funding Wars!

    The 30 Billion a month for Afghan Iraq Wars
    would give each State 300 Million a month!

    They are proposing cuts to Tri-care too. Despite what anyone wants you to hear, if you live in a military town utilizing a civilian doctor, they will tell you differently. Thanks America for the healthcare reform of possible cuts to Tricare benefits.

    The US health care system is so FUBAR-ed that I think we should stop all Medicaid Medicare health care let’s those who can afford care, buy it. Terminate the excess doctors, nurse, pharmacists, etc. Close all those extra hospitals. Shut down the pharmaceutical industry. There may be a few medical schools with next to no demand.

    And, as the dead bodies mount in the streets, alleys homes, the rich will be infected with illnesses rampant with a public health crisis.

    Why not become totally 3rd world as the US is the sole formerly-industrialized nation with no health care system?

    Respect for the elderly is a farce. 20% of US seniors are impoverished.

    A majority of the people that will be qualifying for Medicare in the next few years are the very people that have paid their premiums into this system all of their lives. To reduce their benefits redistribute the savings to those that have not paid the premiums is pure Marxism. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that Obama would cheat those that have carried this country on their back for the last 40 years.

    We cannot afford to give away medical care to everyone. At least not right now. The USA is broke in near catastrophic debt…have you been reading the news? When I personally do not have money, I do not spend any money…is that really difficult to understand? Stop the runaway spending through austerity.

    James Landown Norton (sic) founded Norton, a motorcycle manufacturing concern in England, in 1902 at the age of 70+.

    And the neo-conserfatives, being so impressed with this company decided only old people should be able to found business’.

    So they came up with the deadbeat daddy plan. In a nut shell (or pea brained scheme) it is that no child be left a bung hole (behind) or that men can be found guilty of deliberate acts of political insanity for voting any other way ~ or being seen to advocate the same ~ than of course, neo-conserfative. It’s sorta a civil way of outlawing all other political parties.

    Of course, they observed what happened to communist Russia; this wasn’t so popular a part of the revolution. And so they hid the fact that they did it by simply not observing any party platform. All these communists say they aren’t communists and infiltrate every party to the point of being the majority member in each party. They are a super party in effect.

    BUT IT IS they are demonstratively .02% of the population (.02% gets most of the income in the USA and you wouldn’t normally think a super party would take over a nation such as ours and then NOT PROFIT FROM THIS).

    So, if you want 75% of the nation’s income back, allow intellectual property rights again.

    Instead of letting .02% of the population deny all the rest even constitutionally guaranteed rights.

    Get rid of the policy of the US government to declare 75% of all unemployed crazy and thus off the unemployment roles.

    Get rid of the policy of the US government to drug forcibly any unemployed person it wants to (it of course now being that .02% that own the rest of us).

    So, thus get rid of the policy of forcing deadbeat daddy to be an irresponsible father (literally by date **** drugging him into fatherhood he IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREGNANCIES THE .02% CAUSE ~ THEN LAUGH AT US ABOUT, SAYING : the USA is immoral, all deabeats, why not make them pay, in jail at forced labor whenever they even look like they might compete with an economic concern of the .02% that matter to the neo-conserfative movement.

    Really, the .02% and the lackie courts they hire, and declare dead at will if they don’t do as told, are our real problem. PERIOD.

    You cannot outgun that much illicit money, without at least trying to.

    Remove all the progressives from the political arena by not voting for them. They are the proud parents of entitlements, more taxation, demonizing industry and regulating our businesses out of existence. They are the masters of class warfare and dissension that divides and separates us as a nation. We need to not freeze. but cut spending deeply. Reduce excessive taxation and regulation on our industrial sector and start production of domestic energy.
    Allow new nuclear plants, new refineries, domestic drilling and mining, clean coal research and natural gas to be accessed to reduce the cost of energy for production and transportation of goods. Expansion of industry will create jobs and improve the tax base. There is an attack on the Constitution of our country by Obama and the legislators which will lead to a loss of freedom. They are actively destroying this country for a Marxist style society.
