Duh. 'Other people' as in taxpayers and employers. There was a bouncing ball to follow in rsvman's and my discussion. rsvman believes healthcare is not a right and argued why should he pay for other peoples healthcare. My argument is we all ( i.e. taxpayers and employers) already do pay for healthcare for people over 65.

Not sure what your point was, but to be honest I have a hard time following a lot of your points. Next time keep your eye on the ball. πŸ˜‰

First, if Clinton would have been a straight shooter there would have no dirt for the β€œRussians” or anyone else to dig up. Would you rather have had the country go to the polls with their heads in the sand? It’s great to have a free press but if they are going to dig they have to dig it all. Yo see a CNN reporter crying on election nite was an unprofessional disgrace, and they let this person moderate a debate. Give me a break.

    I suppose you said the same thing back in 1972 when the 'plumbers' broke into the Watergate Hotel to get dirt on the democrats. Straight shooter about what? Taking her homework home with her (the equivalent of the over hyped email scandal).

    What's an unprofessional disgrace is this boob who is in the Whitehouse. Admitting to sexual assault is a disgrace. Lying continually is a disgrace. Bulling people is a disgrace. Giving a false equivalency to Nazi white nationalists and people who protest against such hate groups is a disgrace. Continually (for years) saying your predecessor wasn't born in this country and then never apologizing is a disgrace.

    I can keep going if you want. This bozo is a complete phony and a huge disgrace. Everyday he disgraces the office that he holds.

      Where did President Trump admit to sexual assault??? Typical. Over hyped email scandal??? Really??? Anyone else would be locked up for a fraction of what she did and that's a fact!

      I'm looking forward to the next 7 yrs with Donald Trump as our President. Watch yourself.

        Have you been under a rock? He was caught on tape saying he grabbed women by their pussies. That IS sexual assault.

          A profile in courage happened on the Senate floor this afternoon.

          Some excerpts below.

          "Mr. President, I rise to say enough." "Reckless, outrageous, and undignified behavior has become excused." "Republicans wouldn't accept Trump's behavior from Democrats." "Our allies looking elsewhere for leadership." Trump's conduct dangerous to our democracy." "We have fooled ourselves long enough that Trump will return to civility." Real hurt in the country, Trump rushes for someone to blame." "Profoundly misguided to say nothing of Trump's behavior." " We didn't become great by calling fake things true and true things fake." "Stop pretending that behavior by some is normal." "GOP could turn into backward looking minority party." "Anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy." "I will not be complicit or silent."

          Bravo Senator Flake.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

          I don't know that candukid was completely misunderstanding you. I like to think you're beyond the hyperbole that was in your post to which he responded. And, while I'm not espousing communism, your example of such is extreme. More talented and hard-working people, even in communist cultures often receive greater rewards and opportunities. And, contrary to your statement about fostering a discussion the post he replied to was not one that'd do such.

          Regardless, must "reward" be monetary? Just because our society is capitalist? Me thinks not.

            LBlack14 And in typical lberal fashion, you're full of fucking shit! Go read the transcript.

            And in typical conservative fashion you have just the great intelligent comeback. I read the fucking transcript Landon. Maybe you should read it and actually understand what he is saying. Take your head out of trumps ass and get with the program. Maybe you should go somewhere other than Fox News to get your information. Maybe even a foreign site like the bbc or cbc. Then maybe you will understand. But then again probably not.

              LBlack14 the transcript is hardly flattering for Trump. No he does not specify who he grabbed by the vajj, it certainly wouldn't hold up in a court of law. As he puts it, is "locker room talk". He was married to his current wife at the time, what a stand up guy!

              Yeah them "fucking liberals", what about them "fucking conservatives", or those "fucking Republicans" or those "fucking Democrats" or those "fucking independents". Fucking people, lol

                professor I guess I was using hyperbole to explain a "slippery slope" argument about government-funded health care. If we were in a room soaking to each other it would not have come off the way it obviously did.
                I apologize. It was not my intention to inflame people, not was it my intention to imply that nobody should ever pay for things that others enjoy.
                Having said that, I do think that the concept is at least somewhat antithetical to the ethos of many Americans, and further that there does come a point where the government takes too much of the wage-earner's money. I'm already north of 40%.

                  Medicare is not currently 100% self funded. Part D is and was always unfunded, Part B is partially unfunded, est about 25%. Also about 10% of the people on Medicare are under the age of 65.

                  Medicare is about 15 to 17% of the Federal Budget.

                  What don't you get? Medicare is a single payer healthcare system for people over 65. It's a form of socialism. rsvman said he didn't want to pay for other peoples healthcare. My response was we already have a single payer healthcare system called Medicare for people over 65. Where OTHER people pay into the system to pay for healthcare.

                  You're hung up on semantics or something.

                  "Just start kissing them ... I don't even wait" and "grab 'em by the pussy".

                  Groping a women in her private parts is sexual assault. Those are his words.

                    Sneakylong I don't think anybody is arguing that that would constitute sexual assault. What people are wondering is whether he actually did any of those things, or whether it is just his ego talking to make himself sound "good" to somebody else.

                    Everybody knows that he's an enormous egomaniac and everybody knows that he lies a lot. That's a recipe for making up stories like that. Is it crude and undignified to talk like that? Yes. But it's only sexual assault if he actually did it. I think that's the only question.

                      JFK was the biggest cock hound that ever stepped foot in the White House and the democrats still have his picture hanging on the living room. Bill had an eye for the ladies and he paid the price in a small way. The guys like Trump that talk a big game tend to be the most harmless.

                        candukid And in your typical comeback which is nothing, as usual. Nowhere did he say he grabbed anybody anywhere. Understand? I'll have you know there Hilary, that I hardly watch either CNN or Fox, but do take in both from time to time. I can figure between the 2, unlike yourself. And as far as the hate goes, I see it here from the accepting and tolerant. Like has been said, he never caused the hate, he just exposed it. And another thing, what the fuck do you care anyway? Mind your Canadian business and leave ours to us as in WE THE PEOPLE.

                          Sneakylong "Just start kissing them ... I don't even wait" and "grab 'em by the pussy".

                          You seem to have, conveniently, edited the actual transcript.
