So i dont see the issue

Am i reading the chart wrong or

That just shows military spending

What are you talking about

It shows how much money we could spend on something good instead of the military actually

Yeah re reading it all it is is military spending nothing to do with nato itself, its just how much each country spends on their own army

That chart has nothing to do with a single thing youre saying

Whats your problem with nato

Its the main force stopping putins militaristic tendencies

You can easily afford both

Seeing as medicare for all is cheaper than the current system

Had the virus its come and gone

> If you took a look at the USA's mandatory spending you would realize how much useless shit we have to allocate money to that removes money from other sectors. Most of the money is being spend on Medicare Medicaid and social security. That leaves only about 7% of the money left to spend on whatever else necessary (news flash, it's not that much money left over)

whats your point sir

united you are stronger under nato

its not a zero sum game

i'm telling you its more effective to have nato than not

they are paying their fair share, the richest countries pay the most

dont you think its strange that your concern is with nato, probably the #1 thing that is bothering Putin

i think i remember trump cutting their funding

i'm not american

yeah someone else has to fill it

so its screwing over the other nato countries

probably damaged their trust in USA

me having no democratic say in america's government doesn't mean I can't criticise it

do you think the millions of uninsured and the thousands bankrupted by an inefficient system prefer private?

if you say that those people are not your problem, they are. because public health was first invented because people realise having a 100% healthy population, without a massive cesspool of poor people with no healthcare, is better to stop disease spreading

have u tried not being such a smug prick when you're actually wrong

>Most of the money is being spend on Medicare Medicaid and social security. That leaves only about 7% of the money left

literally incorrect by this chart

those 3 things add up to 60%

@Bandolier i can't help you if you're gonna keep being ignorant.

what does that 21% have to do with medicare, medicaid or social security

where i quoted you you said those three things left only 7% of mandatory spending left

when it doesn't

and if by "the things you spoke of" you mean medicare for all, it's literally cheaper than the current system, so it would in fact replace the medicare/medicaid areas with a smaller piece of the pie

it's cheaper than the current system so effectively free

you do have enough doctors

why do you think theyll get a pay cut

all the profits go to the shareholders

you know what, even if it was true that doctors will be paid less, they are already paid very well. i'm fine with a cut if it means everyone in the country gets their treatment

price worth paying

source?

lmfao no source spotted

source: your ass

its not my job to research your baseless arguments

no you haven't

you were wrong about 7% leftover

you're completely unsourced about an IMMENSE pay cut

how can you say youve proved it

you're just saying shit

thats all youve done so far no sources

have you heard of the burden of proof?

you took that long to write that

i was hoping for an actual intelligent post after all the buildup

you should realise why people ask for sources in a debate

its because sources provide evidence and reason, i'm not sure how familiar you are with these concepts

it stops a debate becoming a mud-slinging contest, like you're trying to turn it into.

all I asked was for a single source about why you think they'll have an immense paycut. if you're as researched as you say you are it shouldn't be a problem to provide one.

and the emote spam, hold this L faggot

cya later loser

Trump isnt FDR's little finger

~~drain~~ fill the swamp

i know right? a media source that isnt owned by the big five.

not ignoring climate change and blatant conservative corruption apparently makes you lefty

really only slightly left of center, but i guess compared to the murdoch rags it looks pretty far left

@Pytokonda 🐏 how exactly does one sorta-far left person discredit the entire organisation

what's wrong with these latest videos

isnt tommy robinson the guy who punched some random at the footy?

yeap but i keep up with the british politics since the brexit debacle

i know hes a far right guy

dont know the details, but it doesnt matter since he holds no power and is irrelevant

even wikipedia says far right

He was a member of the neo-fascist and white nationalist British National Party (BNP) from 2004 to 2005.

do you understand why it was called the spanish flu? its actually a funny story

oh ok so you don't know why then, dont worry ill tell you

it was called that because in the rest of europe, so close during/after WW1, the media propagandised the virus to be weaker and less devestating than it was to boost the morale of everybody. however, the spanish press reported the facts as they were. as they looked so bad by comparison, it became known as the spanish flu because seemingly spain was hit the hardest

thus, calling it a spanish flu is just a misnomer really, its not relevant to any facts. it didnt come from spain nor particularly affect spain harsher than anywhere else

however, calling it the chinese virus i agree with, because it did originate in wuhan and was really incompetently contained.

hows it racist to call the flu after where it originated?

i believe the reddit mods cracked down hard on the donald

i mean, they aren't anti trump and pro EU for no reason... there are reasons to dislike trump and like the EU. is it that hard to accept another point of view?

@Jadae havent seen anything to convince me the EU is evil yet 🤷‍♂️

@Pytokonda 🐏 whats your problem with a video reporting the election results

nope, kinda random q

do you understand the definition of right and left wing or not? their positions are far right on the spectrum.

and don't tell me theres no right-wing news calling bernie far-left because they don't like him

@frozen name a far-left policy of his

is that a policy?

i believe that would just be the corporate dems cracking down on anyone who would even try to tax them more, in favour of the establishment candidates biden/clinton

"huge safety net policies" anything in particular? not at all similar to trump's $1k handout though?

"free college" widely available in a lot of countries. I guess they're all far left!

"social ideals" has there ever been a more vague term?

yeah the guy you ran away from when i was blasting you

id call it more of a fistblasting, what i did to pyto

ah yeah, a cleaner, guess you must have aced your college grades. doesn't change the fact you tried to frame an issue of garbage after festivals as a glastonbury-only thing, solely due to the fact they are on the other wing from you, despite them having more sustainable waste.

why are student loans such a massive issue to forgive when the bailout for the GFC was essentially a 500 billion dollar handout for the richest companies on earth? is not investing a similar amount of money in our workers who actually create the wealth a good thing?

is widespread and growing USA poverty not a public crisis? seems as soon as it effects the corporations profits it becomes a crisis.

universal healthcare is extremely common in modern western societies. countries poorer than the USA can afford it easily. you are literally a sucker for the private health industry if you don't want it.

minimum wage was introduced to be a living wage, only corporate propaganda has told you its for "kids working part time during school". why should people working full time not get enough money to live?

so all the other countries that have it are far left?

@Pytokonda 🐏 ignores that i said its more sustainable waste and also not any different from other festivals

@frozen d you think the only thing seperating minimum wage workers from better ones is incentive? lmfao

im sure all those people on minimum wage are just lazy right? they're just happy carrying multiple jobs to make ends meet.
