Medicare for all........paid for with what??

Trade agreements renegotiated? Um how does that save billions?

New deal building bridges and roads.........what about the stimulous that was supposed to do that.

Kuccinich needs to just shut up and thank the lord a guy that looks like that has such a good looking wife.
You can pay for Medicare for all with an increased
Medicare Payroll Tax There is no reason to have
the insurance industry involved in the delivery of
health care unless you want a paper cut
Insurance Companies serve no purpose in reduction or in
containment of health care costs, except to increase it.

Unfortunately, idiots who can't fathom the truth, or who are so blinded by their own self-interests as to not care about the health of the society as a whole, will continue to vote in idiots like Bush/Cheny instead of Paul/Kucinich.

Progressive garbage? I heard that these vouchers would have averaged 1500 dollars per person
Even if it was 5k, that's really going to help seniors, where it's not too uncommon for them to rack up 100k in medical bills thanks to things like cancer?
Please, fail.

Another New Deal would be our undoing. Contrary to popular opinion it made the depression last LONGER. Any government program involves taxpayers having to foot the bill.

Expanding the money supply by printing more money creates more inflation which is a tax on everyone.

you mean the democrats are frothing at the mouth to steal these funds, dont you? the reality is that both parties have been raiding social security and medicare to pay for crap spending programs, the difference here is that the republicans are starting to see the light and want to SAVE medicare and social security, not kill them.
Exactly how can you say that the Repubs want to 'save' Social Security and Medicare, when their designs are to privatize both?

Makes me proud to be from Ohio, LOL.

Years ago in the Plain Dealer there was a Sunday feature parody of "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche": Real Clevelanders do this, don't do that, say this, etc.

"Real Clevelanders know that Kucinich was right."
