YES! I want 'Free' health care!
YES! I want 'Free' health care!
Just like we have 'free' roads, 'free' k-12 education, 'free' police and fire protection.

New DUmmie trying to score points. All this free crap is not free you idiot. I would rather have the roads, fire dept. and police dept. privatized.

Did DUmp-Cred seeking LPC Noob frogstar0 just highlight the fact that government-run health "care" is paid for by taxpayer $$$$ and administered by a bureaucracy as efficient as the DMV/MVD? :rotf:

You can have free healthcare.
You just have to pay for it yourself.

What he wants is for his/her healthcare to be paid mostly by other people's taxes.

Democrats seem to be disposed to accidental admissions lately, more so than normal. More than one Democrat has let it slip that this shutdown is just political theater and trying to use leverage. Not that we needed them to admit that.

They claimed it was healthcare for Americans, but actually, it was healthcare for illegals chuck the schmuck let that slip

Based on my recent property tax bill, my county very much incorrectly thinks that they’re running Ivy League schools.
When I was in school in the 70s, we had 5 elementary schools. All of them but one were run down and falling apart. None of them had air conditioning. We had one middle school. It was in a little bit better shape, and one wing even had air conditioning. We had one Jr High that was fairly new. We had one high school that was, with the exception of the library, old as the hills, but it did have air conditioning. The teachers were paid next to nothing, and many had to have second jobs. Despite all of that, our schools consistently ranked in the top quarter of the state.
Now days, all of our schools are new, and it seems like every time that you turn around that they are building a new one. Teachers are flocking to the school because of the good pay and benefits. Despite all of that, our schools now consistently rank in the bottom half of the state.
I used to wonder about the difference in ranking between my time in school and today. It finally dawned on me that the age of the school house doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that in my schools days the school was controlled locally AND the teachers weren’t there for the paycheck, for the benefits, or to indoctrinate children. The teachers were there because they actually wanted to teach children, and that’s what they did. As an adult, there are two things that I consistently try to do. One is the thank anyone that I meet who has been in the service. The other is to thank any of my old teachers that I meet because I realize that even the ones that I didn’t like way back then weren’t really a-holes. They just took the job of educating children seriously. If not for them, instead of a fictional spirit-guide with no smell whatsoever, I could be a brainless idiot posting on DU.
