Are you saying you can put a price tag on your life? Better buy some healthy insurance policy then.
What do you mean "let" people die?

The only people let other people die are their parents and hypocritical liberals.

I hate replies like this. I DO NOT CARE what the GOP did. **** the GOP. Yes it was his fault. If Obama had been the person that Candidate Obama said he was going to be the (D)'s don't lose the House and Senate. Nobody forced him to renominate the total loser in Ben Bernanke. No one forced him to nominate the Wall Street ***** Timmy Geithner. No one stopped him from prosecuting the bankers that broke our laws.

Maybe, but we don't have pure capitalism in the US, we have crony-capitalism. The biggest businesses in all sectors simply buy the government in order to get whatever they want.

There are many solutions that don't involve taxes or spoon-feeding people.
No doubt, those with nothing can just pack up and move to another country. Sheesh.

I live in a low cost of living area. There are only so many jobs.

I have always said this. We should of just let it fail and let the chips fall where they may.

In the end the country would of been better off.

This is maybe the one and only area I agree with Trump on. Then again, I agreed with Obama on it also.

New Obama TV ad goes after Romney over outsourcing – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs




Was Obama unrealistic also?
Obama did poorly on these areas, too.

I never mentioned Obama, and he's rather irrelevant to this discussion.

Pretty much. It's the GOP's game. The (D)'s really need to quit playing it.

My grocery store that I shop at put in four self checkout lines. I don't use them, I have in the past if it's just one item, but in general I don't use them.

Part of what annoys me is that I really doubt that corporations will offset the cost back to the consumer, if they are in theory saving money, it would be nice if prices came down, but I doubt that will happen.

IDK
