If Iran war costs $11B in 6 days, why balk at single-payer, Trumpsters?

Yeah, it's wild how we dump billions into short-term military ops without a second thought, but universal healthcare gets treated like a budget apocalypse. Fact is, that $11B in six days could've covered millions in preventive care or drug costs here at home. Critics say it's about "big government," but if we're cool with endless defense spending for "security," why not extend that to actual human security? Priorities speak louder than politics

[msc545]

The only people that Republicans care about are themselves and other rich people. That's where they're going to spend the money. They also care a lot about blowing up and destroying things to further make themselves feel somewhat special and powerful. Again, they'll put a lot of money into this. Human beings not so much.

[nekkibarbie]

Yeah absolutely. You are right

[Pterodon]

Because nobody wants universal healthcare. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Pterodon Yeah, you Yanks might be less fugly with universal health care.

When Nicolás Maduro was removed from Venezula and oil production was stripped out of the hands of the cartels, Trump mandated that the US will control sales of sanctioned Venezuelan oil "indefinitely" and that royalty, tax, and dividend payments from Venezuelan oil production will be paid into accounts managed by Washington for the betterment of the citizens of Venezula and the USA. He spent the money of American citizens, to secure oil resources and to generate cash flow for the American government. What do you imagine will happen in Iran, the second of three countries in an oil shadow economy (Venezuela, Iran, Russia)? Why do you imagine America hit Karg Island? It's pretty basic really. You got to spend money to make money fool.

*"Kharg" Island

[permanentem]

"Kharg" is on the chopping black just like Venezuela. When the national debt disappears most Americans will be happy. You won't though.

[permanentem]

Just as American companies developed the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, American companies also developed the oil infrastructure at "Kharg" Island. America is reclaiming what is ours instead of allowing China to benefit and grow stronger from our past investments.

[permanentem]

*"block"

[permanentem]

It's wild how no Democrat seems to be able to comprehend this. You saw America take back the Panama Canal and how the ports returned from Hong Kong China companies to American companies. You've seen Venezuelan oil return from the cartel that serves Communist China, to American control. You're seeing it in Iran right now. You see America's play for Greenland. Wake up and smell the coffee. America is winning big time.

[permanentem]

The entire lot of you leftists don't have two brain cells to rub together.

[permanentem]

What will you do when the communists in Cuba fall and American hotels, Casinos, and farms open back up on the Island? What will you do when a portion of the proceeds go to America as the economy flourishes? Soon...

Your team is losing big. America is dismantling you.

Because paying for lazy asses stuff is not what the government is for. The military is a legit role of the federal government. Health care is not. Plus, the government medical system is probably even more wasteful than the military. You do realize that the feds already pay for most medical costs, right? And it's extremely wasteful.

[Anonymous]

Because I don't like the idea of depending on the government. There isn't a lot the government does well or efficiently.

[Dargil]

Maybe it's because the United States spends two trillion dollars on government support of the healthcare. Our military budget is less than half that. And here's a question for you BBB. Why do Canadians come here for healthcare that they have to pay for when healthcare is free in Canada

[Dargil]

We spend $6p00 per person per year for our. military. Canada spends 1/6 of that per person. That's because you have been sucking or hind tit for 70 years. You people need to get with the program and arm up. Because if we were to leave NATO you would be fucked up the ass.

[Dargil]

North Korea has a population only 70% of Canada's. But they could probably be in Ottawa in a week if they decided to attack you. That must make you proud. Ohh. I forgot that's right NATO which is financed primarily by the United States would take your hand and Pat you on the head.

[msc545]

Canadians aren't paranoid and angry enough to need all that military hardware. They also aren't corrupt enough to spend their money sucking up to corporations that build that s shit since Americans are basically imperialists, you need all that hardware because you make people chronically angry at you.

[OneViewpoint]

Because Commie-nism is bad and Capitalism is the way of White Baby Jesus. Profits matter and anyone who can't pay deserves to die just like Jesus preached. Now focus on something "American", another tax cut for billionaires.

[exitseven]

single payer means government run healthcare. What could go wrong?

[Anonymous]

How much would it cost after Iran hit the us with a nuke?

[Anonymous]

We wasted that money on the Ukraine war so Europe wouldn't have to.

[Mike_Hum]

Single payer what?
