@Bandolier i can't help you if you're gonna keep being ignorant.
Do you know what the meaning of mandatory and discretionary spending is?
Mandatory spending is used on other things besides medicare Medicaid and social security
The left over money, the discretionary spending, is not enough to support the things you spoke of last night
Moreover, that whole slice of 21% is the interest the US has to pay on the debt that its accumulated
So 21 + 27 + 23 + 10 +7 = 88% of the money gone
We also tack defense on there too, but that's only a small 5%, dwarfed by the rest of the numbers
So as I said and you quoted... most of the money (here most means >50%) is being spent on social security, medicare and medicaid, leaving a very small amount of money to be spent where the US pleases
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
21% has to do with the fact that the USA has no money left to implement any new stuff. Do you think Medicare for all is gonna be free to get going?
it's cheaper than the current system so effectively free
The startup cost of implementing an entire new system, not to mention the pay cut that all physicians will experience, job losses, and the fact that we just dont have enough doctors to support such a system, is gonna be extremely expensive
you do have enough doctors
why do you think theyll get a pay cut
all the profits go to the shareholders
No one is gonna wanna work the same job for less money
Especially in the health field where you're a playing a pivotal role
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
Like I said, no one is going to want to perform the same job for less money. The salary cut isnt gonna be small, its gonna be immense
source?
Educateyourself, I dont think this conversation is going anywhere and I'm not going to spoon feed articles to you just so you can sit from your couch and nitpick information out
lmfao no source spotted
source: your ass
Lmfao no research skills
Hahahahahahahh
You're so dense
its not my job to research your baseless arguments
I've proved everything I've said so far..
no you haven't
you were wrong about 7% leftover
But people like you dont accept fact
you're completely unsourced about an IMMENSE pay cut
how can you say youve proved it
you're just saying shit
Nope
I dont just say shit
