The PROBLEMS with Medicare and SS are that baby-boomers are all hitting old age right now, and there is more care being given than money being put IN. THAT'S the main problem.
I gave my opinion and that's the way it is so stop trying to force yours on other people! Your whine is that of a left winger.
I posted a set of facts, not just my opinion. You still have not based anything on facts.
You cannot refute, with your opnion, the fact that Communist Cuba has a more effective health care system than we do!
The US has an infant mortality rate of 6.26 per 1000 live births. That compares to Hong Kong with 2.92. Japan with 2.79 and Sweden with 2.75. Burmuda has 2.46. The lowest is Singapore with 2.31. Yet we devote a higher percentage of our economy to health care than any of those nations!
Worse yet there are parts of the US with far higher rates than the average. Indian reservations and Bush Alaska historically have had a very high rate, though I don't have current figures. Puerto Rico is reported at 8.42, and American Samoa is 10.18.
Your opinion might make you feel good, but our babies die because of what you promote.
Republican Gomorrah - this is a fascinating conversation with Max Blumenthal in 3 parts. In part 2, he discusses Palin.
That is an absolutely fantastic interview. He provided the connections to a lot of things that I knew had to exist, but had no idea what or how it had actually happened.
"That's what we're seeing with the health care debate too, ... a movement that's terrified that the government will start to be able to solve people's crisis, because they survive and thrive on manipulating people's personal crisis."
-- Max Blumenthal

I don't have to refute anything to you! Babies die because of what I promote?? What a stupid statement!!

Well, you don't "have" to refute anything, Pat, but the FACT remains that this statement has a lot of truth in it.

You also can't refute the fact that infant mortality rate in the U.S. is fairly deplorable. I don't think that Floyd meant that you personally were responsible; I think that what he meant is that your...opinions...sometimes come across as Social Darwinism.
I had it right Pat....your posts clearly show its nothing but air
There is no fix for that
Put that in your facts column
My posts are my opinions; I was not aware the CD's were "fact finding" - I prefer to not copy and paste as you and a few others do on here. And, any facts I want to check on will not come from the Forums.
I see you conveniently chose to ignore my comments about when you posted "your" supposed boat and went into attack mode....hmmmmm. As far as nothing but air you need to pull your head out of your arse same as FD.
