Share the math with us?

How much money will be needed to cover the costs of those who "CAN NOT" afford their own health care?

You must have the numbers, you wouldn't make such a claim without knowing, would you?
It works for Germany, it can work for us.

Ah, the old anti-Christian argument. Sorry pal, but the fact is that the Bible does not support your forced charity position. In fact, it teaches self responsibly, it teaches taking care of ones own family as being required and it teaches that those who will not work, should not eat.
Truly I tell you, whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me.

We are now back to you pointing fingers at everyone else going on about your caring, your charitable position while you demand other people pay.

We have now come full circle people. Notice how the poster is the perfect example of the progressive who cares so much about doing good... with other peoples money.


It is easy to be charitable with other peoples money.
I am pro-life. I support a balanced budget amendment. I completely support the 2nd amendment. What makes me a "progressive"?

IMO, all federal social and welfare programs are unconstitutional. I also believe we are over asserting our military footprint. IMO, we put too many people in prisons for harmless crimes. I'm not a party man, I'm a constitutionalist.

Few are able to do that starting off, especially with the recent stagnant wage situation.

Oh BOO HOO!!!

Seriously, this is a spoiled generation argument. Here is the thing, many of us adults actually have dealt with this before.

1. We worked through college to pay for it, we didn't get some ridiculous overpriced loan for an overpriced school with the idea that some day it would be paid off magically.

2. We picked an education in a marketable field that has lasting potential and need.

3. Because we paid for our own schooling, we went through Jr. College, then transfered to an affordable university that we could afford.

4. When we got out of college, we went to work and rented for a while to gain experience and stability, sometimes we shacked up with a roommate to save on expenses.

5. While we worked we put money away for security situations where if we lost our job, we could afford the time it took to find another.

6. We kept our expenses in check, so that if we did lose our job, we could work a lower pay job to cover costs while we looked for another.

7. We bought cash cars, and avoided any loan based expenses.

8. We saved our money for future purchases such as a house, investment, or property.


The problem with the "college grads" today is they are lazy, inept, entitled, spend thrifts with no discipline or clue of responsibility.

The reason socialism/communism is on the rise is because lazy irresponsible children love the hand outs because they WON'T work for it themselves.

They are not unconstitutional. If they were the Constitution would explain why they are not allowed.

Where does it do that?

I bought my first home with zero down in 1986. My payment was $268. Rent was $300. Sounds like a wise decision?

I think your understanding of the Bible is self serving.

You support socialist policies at the end of a gun.
