    Meh... one rubber stamp is as good as another, as long as a check gets deposited to my account!

    We haven't 'known' each other long, but very truthfully, there were a number of things about Trump that I didn't agree with at all. I voted for him twice ONLY because, as I saw it, the 'alternatives' were even far, far worse. So far, I haven't been wrong about that.

    And you know as well as I do that had Nancy and Chuck not thrown up one roadblock after another to yet another welfare-handout (oops... I mean "rescue" check), by packing it with tons more 'gobby-slop' PORK, Trump would have mashed his 'rubber stamp' onto $2,000 checks for us "Proles" LAST OCTOBER! But, of course, then, more of the 'cattle' would have probably voted for him a month later, and, heaven forfend that THAT should have happened.... :lol:

    It's all a game, and NONE of us is winning, Center, no matter how much 'lipstick' anyone puts on this 'pig'....

    I think that the evidence proves that you're completely wrong about that.

    What part of the Constitution do you not understand? Go study the Tax and Spend clause and get back to me with the part that says the welfare of the PEOPLE.

    Change your mask. They're cheap.
    Propaganda Alert!

    Can't win the argument without talking trash?
    I bet plenty you don't support a woman's right to have an abortion.

    President Biden's $1400 check instills personal responsibility in Americans, and the other bureaucratic handouts make government great again.

    trump's $2000 largesse would have created welfare dependence upon the government teat

    No, Te -- YOU say, while mangling MY single-payer scenario, that "EVERYONE IS EITHER IN OR OUT". I didn't say that at all! Stop putting words in my 'mouth' that I didn't SAY! And remember, in my scenario, if someone with a pre-existing condition wants to apply to join, that person would pay a nominal additional premium until his pre-existing condition is corrected, or, significantly improved through ongoing above-contract medical treatments, therapy, medication, etc.

    What I said, obviously, was that if (IF) any American citizen wanted to be part of a gigantic customer-base that enjoys the 'clout' of being able to contract for healthcare on a MUCH more advantageous basis (i.e., "TONNAGE"), then that American citizen can do so! And, if that person decides to 'bug-out' of the contract, or won't pay his monthly premium, then, really, it's no different than any other kind of insurance.

    Think: You sign up with Company "A" for insurance on your car. Then you decide you like the deal at Company "B" better -- so, you cancel, quit, simply stop paying your premiums to Company "A", and let the coverage end with them, and do your 'cutover'... right?

    Now, as I already said, if anyone didn't want to join the single-payer customer-base, he could go get healthcare in whatever manner was more pleasing, or, if indigent, simply go onto taxpayer-paid-for MEDICAID.

    Do you at least understand the infallible business principle that because of their sheer economic power, large numbers of people are able to make companies COMPETE for their business? This invariably results in more products, better products, and at better prices, with fewer kinds of negative contractual 'baggage' (like deductions and co-pays) included.

    Now, please feel welcome to disapprove of my proposal until Hell freezes over -- but at least describe it ACCURATELY, and I'll live with your criticism....

    I responded to your Post #435, Te, in which you maintained that handout welfare programs are authorized in the Constitution. I maintain they are not, and you maintain that they are.

    As far as why SCOTUS never threw out SS, Medicare, or Obamacare, look back at what was considered, and on what basis. It was all swept in under the clever guise of being a TAX, Te. And that why Trump and the Republicans were at least able to get rid of the provision in Obamacare which unfairly and unconstitutionally FORCED American citizens to buy insurance or be punished by paying a "fine" to the government.

    You may be onto something of merit, Te, but I need to ask you to clarify how a "Progressive" is different from a "Democrat". I see very clearly how a "Progressive" is quite different from a "Republican", but the point of difference between "Progs" and "Demos" is quite undefined in my mind... especially as we stumble our way along in the first decades of the 21st-century.

    I'm sure you will agree with me that the Democrat Party of today does not resemble in any meaningful way the Democrat Party of one of my two most-admired presidents -- JOHN F. KENNEDY!

    What evidence? Please tell.

    You will have a impossible time convincing me Hillary was better than Trump but you are welcome to try.

    an insurance policy cannot cover 200 million proportionally disadvantaged Americans

    government must make others pay for their care

    Why all the conspiracy stuff? Why can't you make a case the Social Security and Medicare are unconstitutional without impugning motives?

    Nope. Everyone agrees the fetus is alive.

    You have the right to potentially kill people because you have the "right" not to wear a mask, but a woman doesn't have the right to end an unwanted pregnancy. :roll:

    Insulting the knowledge of your fellow forum members does not make your correct.

    Joe has dementia and his policies are a disaster for the country. Biden isn't putting food on anyone's table. Lots of pork fat, but not much pork for the poor.

    How about sticking with the thread topic instead of accusing people of "tossing pooh".

    It's called ending a unwanted life.

    You made a pronouncement about economics that's nonsense.
    Why don't you argue against his policies instead of making BS comments about him having dementia?
    Back to talking trash based on not knowing about economics. Trump's Fed Chair has been urging Congress to pass more stimulus while saying we should err on the side of doing too much.
    The Rasmussen poll is rightwing propaganda. I said so.

    Do you really think 53% of people are going to approve of Biden's performance if they think he has dementia?

    It's pretty obvious to anyone who can read and comprehend the stated and intentionally limited powers accorded to the several branches of the government that no provision is made for the creation of a retirement system, a retirement healthcare system, or, for that matter, a wrap-around handout welfare system....

    Nevertheless, Democrats successfully shackled us to a MANDATORY retirement system, a MANDATORY retirement healthcare system, and a veritable smorgasbord of varied handout welfare systems, whether I make a case for "conspiracy" or not.

    We can probably agree that as each of these 'systems' become more and more deeply entrenched through the many decades, they have certainly increased the popularity of their creators -- DEMOCRATS. :woot: . Indeed, without the existence of all of these unconstitutional liberal 'constructs', who would ever vote for a Democrat in the 21st-century...? :confusion:

    ~ The fact is today's dumb-arse self-centered politicos could never construct anything close to Medicare / Social Security. Nor do they even care to try as they are not " of the people , for the people".
    Obama Care is a perfect example .

    Oh, hell, Joe. Just take a look at the incredibly, indescribably, totally fugged-up situation on our Southern border right this minute -- even if you consider NOTHING else!

    JOE BIDEN CAUSED THAT... can we at least agree on THAT much...?! :roll:
