   Hi Italian Mike,

   “I posted all afternoon and still not one progressives has told me how they were going to pay for the welfare state”

   My best guess is both parties will finance it(the welfare state) through further privatization. The problem with that notion is when the GOP decided to further privatize Medicare through pushing through the Medicare Advantage plan the cost of the private program was as much as 14% higher than the traditional Medicare program. The privatization of our military hasn’t proven to save money either.

   O’Reilly is in top secret meetings with the Koch brothers. I read that on Media Matters.

   We can find a way to pay the Military and to help are ever growing senior population but how are we going to pay for the expansion in social programs.

   I will write out the entire problem as I see it. I do not have the time or energy tonight. It would take me an hour to write it.

    Mike,

    “We can find a way to pay the Military and to help are ever growing senior population but how are we going to pay for the expansion in social programs.”

    My answer is not by offering private insurance as an only option. It’s not going to cut costs like having a public option would if we really want to save money. The system as it currently exist is unsustainable.

    I don’t have any insurance. I did buy insurance for myself four years ago through my company. The company is in the tank. Struggling just to survive. I am on the hope you don’t sick plan. I could sign up for Medicaid tomorrow but I would not put that burden on my neighbors. I have no right to healthcare. If I don’t make it thems the breaks. As my dad would say,”nobody owes you a living.” He was right.

    At 50, and I am still pretty strong. I am still young emough and strong enough to help pull the cart.

    We have sick younger people that the Government should help but we have way to many people taking advantage of system. The bigger the welfare state gets the worse more dependency it fosters.

    Mike,

    “I don’t have any insurance. I did buy insurance for myself four years ago through my company. The company is in the tank. Struggling just to survive. I am on the hope you don’t sick plan.

    Well not having insurance doesn’t necessarily save the country money. If a person with no insurance gets very ill or has a major accident, they still pass the costs of medical attention on to the taxpayers, unless of course, they just say I will just die or stay sick with no medical help because I’m not entitled to health care. Anyways, the best option for everyone is not the hope I don’t get ill without insurance plea but the I need options that are affordable to me and/or my family and also affordable to the country as a whole. It’s great we offer options through private insurance plans but a public option that is not set up for profit would also be a great option for those who wish to cut costs and have good plans.

    @ ITL mike, my client was stuck in traffic. Check news on the 405 in LA, it’s like carmageddon II

    Bill O the Clown took a vacation because he thought that for sure the Health Care law would be struck down and he could celebrate. Big mistake on his part!

    Only the Republicans would be ANGRY that millions of people get to keep on their insurance programs today, only the Republicans would be angry that sick people may get treated.

    Ask yourself What would Jesus Do?

    Instead of only wearing a braclette that says it….. Why don’t you act like it!!

    Like I always say when it comes to health care, peogressives your heart is in the right place but not your head.

    We simply can’t afford to cover every person in America. You will bankrupt the Government. 1.5 trillion yearly deficit

    “Like I always say when it comes to health care, peogressives your heart is in the right place but not your head.”

    How is doing nothing using your head? Our system is the most expensive in the world and is unsustainable as it stands today.

    “We simply can’t afford to cover every person in America. You will bankrupt the Government. 1.5 trillion yearly deficit”

    That depends on how we cover people. Other countries can do it a lot less and many have a mix of plans not just government run plans. Just having a public option alone could cut costs dramatically. So much so, the Republican party refused to even discuss it because they were afraid with the lower costs and the quality it would put private insurance out of business. I wouldn’t go that far because other countries that use a mix of private and public plans haven’t bankrupt the private system. They will give them a run for their money though.

    Look at Europe it is killing business. The Governments are collapsing.

    Somehow my last post got lost in cyberspace. Too bad it was a good one.

    Faith you want to help people like me. Cut the government spending and pay the bills. My business will boom. I know I had a construction business in the 80′s and it was booming. Individuals and businesses have to feel good about the govenments ability to pay.

    If the Govenrment goes forward with ACA the cost will bankrupt the Government. It amazes me that so many people have faith in the Governments abilities. I have been around awhile now and I know one thing the government screws up everything they touch.
