Only naive people lacking knowledge believe that.
The Conservative view on Education worked.
The US cranked out engineers and mathematicians and scientists of all flavors. Those people led the US from the 2nd Level Economy into the 3rd Level Economy (1950s), and then on into the 4th Level Economy (1970s).
Liberals took over the Education System and totally destroyed it.
Did the US move into the 5th Level Economy in the mid-1990s? No.
Is there anyone in the US who can lead America into the 5th Level Economy? No.
Do you have any Human Capital for the 5th Level Economy? No.
When will the US be able to advance into the 5th Level Economy?
40-45 years after Conservative polices are restored to the Education System.
Liberals have damaged America so badly that it will take about 20 years just to educate the people who will be able to teach the people who will lead you into the 5th Level Economy, and then about 20-25 years to teach the people who will actually take you there.
The harmful and damaging Liberal position is for two people, each receiving $1,100/month in Social Security Disability or Retirement....
to equal
$2092.95 per month in Cincinnati
to equal
$761.07. per month in San Fransisco
....due to the differences in Cost-of Living and Purchasing Power.
The Conservative position is to restore/return Social Security back to the States where it originated -- 35 of the States had social security programs before FDR violated the Constitution and nationalized them.
Because the States are operating their own programs, payments/benefits are relative, and no one is harmed.
The Liberal position is that a minimum wage worker should pay $96/month to receive $763/month in Social Security benefits.
The Conservative position is to privatize the Old Age & Survivors Insurance program as private
insurance under the supervision/regulation of each State, so that a minimum wage worker can pay $21/month and get $1,600/month in benefits.
The Conservative position is objectively superior.
Under the inferior Liberal position, two families of four each receiving $400/month in Food Stamps except that $400 buys....
$578.13 worth of food in Cincinnati.
$210.23 worth of food in San Fransisco
....due to the differences in Cost-of Living and Purchasing Power.
Under the superior Conservative position, the Food Stamp program is turned over to the States, who can then end the suffering and harm caused by Liberals.
The inferior Liberal position is to tax a woman in Indiana earning $16/hour who does not get her rent paid by tax-payers under HUD Section 8 and give the tax money to a guy in Connecticut who earns $26.75/hour --- $53,490 annually -- and gets his rent subsidized under HUD Section 8 by tax-payers.
Some guy earning $7.25/hour in Monroe County, Mississippi makes too much money to have tax-payers pay his rent, but he has to pay taxes so some joker earning $26.75/hour can have his rent paid by tax-payers.
The superior Conservative position is to disband HUD. The States are free to set up their own housing programs, and if the people of Connecticut want to pay the rent for a single guy earning $26.75/hour that's their business, but the rest of the people in America aren't forced to play that game.
The stupid Liberal position is to do everything in their power to protect hospital monopolies so that Americans can be price-gouged to death with $55,000 appendectomies and $117,000 assistant surgeon "fees" and then whine and cry like little sissies that "insurance companies" charge too much.
The Conservative position is overwhelmingly superior. Eliminate the hospital monopolies, so that Americans pay the real true Market cost -- about $2,800 -- for appendectomies.
Not only does that make medical care truly really affordable for all Americans, it also slashes prices on the cost "health insurance" so that it is truly affordable for all Americans, and for the handful that still can't afford it, that's where the States offer help, not the federal government.
More importantly than that, what is happening here?
Aren't you reducing the federal tax burden for Americans?
Oh, yes, absolutely, plus down-sizing government.
At the end of the day, you're looking at the federal government having less control, and more power-sharing between the People, the States and the government as the Constitution intended.
And that is the real problem.....Liberals want massive government control with an equally massive bureaucracy and no power-sharing at all with the People and the States totally subordinate to the federal government.
I can tell you right, no Liberal will dare address the facts here; instead they'll engage in fallacies and drivel on about society and morality.
Laughing at the superior intellect....
