Sorry, I know that you're trolling for a fight, but I'm just not in the mood.

Twist it any way you want, it's fine by me.

Cuba has a higher literacy rate than many American cities and the best public health system in Latin America and to our shame better than many communities in the USA.

You've been lied to.

Cuban hospitals...

Another posted with no interest in honestly discussing this. Go back and address what I said when this was asked earlier.

You drop the dollar value of the loans outstanding by default and that money goes away. You want to make the loans good keep the price of houses above the peek of the last bubble? Then we need the wages to support asset values.


A $30hr minimum wage will do it. With full employment.

Nope. You're thinking of Texas, Arizona, and Cali.

But anyways... It seems the less services and education you provide, the more you end up spending. I could care less of the ethnic make up, it doesn't make sense to cut costs with services and education on the front, only to end paying more on the back end. But that's the brand of conservatism you follow.

There is more recent data than 2010.

Heroine rampant, make Narcan more availible then pseudophed.
Blow money on 2 pack a day cigarettes, SS/DI at 45.
My idea was and is full employment for everyone able to do it and high enough wages to pay for what we've promised.

That has nothing to do with the $27 Trillion already invested in millions of American workers' and retirees' investment accounts and pension plans. ZIRP and QE have kept that propped up.

The federal government made the first mistake in telling the GSEs to buy mortgage loans made to those with low-incomes and/or compromised credit. Then, it doubled down by having to invoke ZIRP and QE to prevent the mass catastrophe of the collapse of the $27 Trillion invested in American workers' and retirees' retirement accounts and pension plans.

Why not just let capitalism work without government interference?

Texas IS in the bible belt. The other bible belt states have large percentages of other minorities that have high teen pregnancy rates.
