Agreed. However, the programs at the heart of Trump’s New Red Scare are things like tuition free state public universities and Medicare for All/National Health Care.

Trump and his ever diminishing base are back to brick shittery. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Good points Yssup. Tuition and medical costs are way out of control. I'm a strong believer in the free enterprise system, but it's broken in these areas. Many university students and most patients get poor value for what's spent. The very-justified fear on the right is whether the federal government will muck things up even worse by becoming more involved. There are countries that spend less providing national health care than we spend on Medicare and Medicaid alone, and they have better health outcomes. Some provide free tuition, but they're not going to pay for your 5 year medical education unless you score in the top 1/2 of 1% out of high school. And you're not going to be allowed to waste time getting an undergraduate degree.

Theoretically we could have what you want, without higher government spending. However, there would have to be huge changes, and our federal politicians don't have the wisdom and courage to make them. Originally Posted by Tiny

Saudis come all the way here for specialized health care treatment...just last year a poor couple in the UK lost the precious baby
Charley Gard because the UK said he wasn't WORTH saving when he could have gotten specialized heath care here. Don't fucking tell me about other countries great health care
Can you get by without calling other vulgar names, LL?

I’d think a man of such eloquence could make his point more eloquently.

I can’t answer for TM. But i’ll Say a lot of what’s ailing the world today is directly affected by the man sitting in front of his TV in the White House.

What has he done to help the world?

If you’re unconcerned with the world like Trump is, LL, then why do you give a shit what anybody has to say about Venezuela? Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Thanks for your in-depth look at the evils of Socialism. I still fail to see how you tie the American Democratic party to any of the world wide problems associated with Socialism.Being a capitalist I really don't much of a rats ass about socialist countries. But when you bring up all the death, etc. tied to the evil empires don't you think its a little ironic that suddenly our "besties"new friends are Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia under Trump. Your as big a hypocrite as your Troll in law Lusty. Your both "intellectual" phonies Originally Posted by themystic

Glad you like the previous posts.
The reason you fail to see how I tied the American Democratic party to any of those world wide problems is because I made no attempt to do so. And I never made any mention of Russia, North Korea or Saudi Arabia so you don't know what I might think about our country's relationship to them. In fact, I don't think I've ever mentioned any one of them in my entire posting history on this board.
You see, it is exactly that kind of presumptive attempt to ascribe positions to me on which I have expressed no opinion whatsoever, that earn you the title of troll. Well, that and posts where you spuriously attempt to smear Trump with the label of homosexual, based on nothing more than the opinion of some obscure writer in some obscure publication. And here I thought you progressive types were ok with differing lifestyles. I know I am.
So in the future if you want to respond or critique me regarding something I have actually said, feel free. But if all you have in mind is the kind of nonsense contained in your previous attempt, I'll politely ask you in advance to piss off.

Maybe if they had solar panels on every house they'd have electricity.
Maybe if they rebuilt all their homes to be energy efficient maybe they'd have a booming economy.
Maybe if they start pooping filet mignon they wouldn't be hungry.
