See that's my point. Why would someone need two kidney transplants when we have people waiting for just one? Why aren't the first and second ones working?did she damage them herself? But for all who say we need unvisersal healthcare like england,remember in England the doctor makes the final decision,not the family as to what happens in end of life care and when treatments would stop

Because that's what that socialistic organization can become. Weapons systems are expensive and no, we don't need warfighters unless we're a war-based economy and that's not working out too well.

Maybe they cold get an education or job elsewhere, I keep hearing how they're the best and the brightest. Won't their ingenuity carry them through?

Maybe if people quit breeding like bunnies, some of the problems would go away. After all, resources are finite.

Good thing you don't any more.
The attitude expressed in your posts doesn't make me think you'd be effective or a good fit at all working with older people.

At 28, you've sure had a large number of jobs, especially after school. Let's see, would that be about 3 jobs in 6 years?
At 2 years in a job, that amount of time barely scratches the surface of any learning process, let alone understanding.

You know its funny how people esp the some of the elderly tell people to stop breeding. Now who is going to wipe your backside or pay into ss for your benefits? Why some of those bunnies. Nursing home care is expensive btw. Think os this: it cost $5000 a day for someone to be in the nursing home I was in. It was a 180 bed facility. So do the math. All mostly paid for by medicaid and medicare.

I sure hope that you meant to say $5000/MONTH.

We also need to stop importing poor ppl from all corners of the globe. If we did that, our growth would be neutral or close to it. I'm not so sure that the military could find civilian jobs. Keep in mind that many of them don't have advanced degrees. Capitalism is not a perfect system and cannot support everyone that wants a job. It never has even in the best of times.

A) I have enough money saved to take care of myself, should I decide to go that route;
B) People whine about not enough jobs, yet they continue to breed;
C) Yes, you should have killed those people needing attention outright; they make lifetime movies about "Angels of Death" - from your posts, you could play a starring role!
