the Deficit

If you don't want the government to be in debt, you complain when its getting into debt, IE when it drops taxes, puts two wars on credit & seems to do everything in its power to deregulate banks so the banking greed will crash the economy and when the banks do crash the economy, throw another 700B at them.

Once we're in debt, do we stop eating? Lines like corporations are the job creators, is nonsense. Corporations won't create jobs until they see an upswing in the economy because they won't incur costs unless they see some net win, ie employing this person will generate more income than cause expense.

Employing causes expense. One of the ways to improve the economy would be to fix healthcare. Providing employees with healthcare is expensive. Many countries all around the world prove that universal healthcare is much more cost effective than the system in place in the US.

Government is the only entity obliged to stimulate the economy when the economy is bad. Corporations have no incentive to do so unless government does so.

Meanness

Don't you get tired of people bemoaning welfare payments to the poor? I know I do. Do people think it really is a joy ride being poor? This guy thinks its a choice! I can so imagine waking up one morning saying: wouldn't it be cool to be poor, NOT! Clearly the education system failed him as we can see from the abundance of misspelled words.

Being criticized as being lazy when they probably applied for every job they could apply for, if they lost their job. I can't imagine how demoralizing it would be to be out of work, and the boredom!

I would sooner they get some kind of payment so they can live rather than breaking into my home stealing so they won't starve. How do they pay for their utilities, rent, food and any kind of entertainment if they have no income at all. The combined boredom and need for money drives many into selling drugs which creates crime.

What is outrageous is we give the rich a pass when it comes to doctors and hospitals charging ten times what they would normally charge when the patient is on medicare. Same with the military industrial complex, well known for ripping off the govt.

I am all for removing regulations, specifically that government is NOT to use its bulk purchasing power with medicare. Removing that one regulation would probably allow every single American medicare, and ease the burden on every household and business across the country.

Horror Story of the Day

An attractive homeless woman, Anna Brown, 29, last year sought medical treatment but was taken to prison for trespassing in St Mary's Hospital in St Louis. The medical staff who denied her care and the police who arrested her should all be sent to prison with murder charges. Until we start putting people in jail for denying medical care we will continue to get in adequate care. One start is signing this petition to President Obama.

    I am interested in progressive politics, women's rights, science & art. I believe the only way we'll survive is if we help each other.
