The left over money, the discretionary spending, is not enough to support the things you spoke of last night

2020-03-19 13:51:47 UTC  

Moreover, that whole slice of 21% is the interest the US has to pay on the debt that its accumulated

2020-03-19 13:52:27 UTC  

So 21 + 27 + 23 + 10 +7 = 88% of the money gone

2020-03-19 13:52:59 UTC  

We also tack defense on there too, but that's only a small 5%, dwarfed by the rest of the numbers

2020-03-19 13:56:51 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:00:26 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:00:39 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:00:43 UTC  

when it doesn't

2020-03-19 14:01:33 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:05:05 UTC  

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?

2020-03-19 14:05:50 UTC  

it's cheaper than the current system so effectively free

2020-03-19 14:06:19 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:06:36 UTC  

you do have enough doctors

2020-03-19 14:06:54 UTC  

why do you think theyll get a pay cut

2020-03-19 14:06:58 UTC  

all the profits go to the shareholders

2020-03-19 14:07:02 UTC  

No one is gonna wanna work the same job for less money

2020-03-19 14:07:21 UTC  

Especially in the health field where you're a playing a pivotal role

2020-03-19 14:07:30 UTC  

And you're doing hard work everyday with people

2020-03-19 14:07:40 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:08:06 UTC  

price worth paying

2020-03-19 14:08:22 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:08:27 UTC  

source?

2020-03-19 14:09:20 UTC  

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

2020-03-19 14:09:27 UTC

2020-03-19 14:09:35 UTC

2020-03-19 14:09:44 UTC  

You're so dense

2020-03-19 14:09:47 UTC

2020-03-19 14:10:05 UTC  

I've proved everything I've said so far..

2020-03-19 14:10:10 UTC  

no you haven't

2020-03-19 14:10:13 UTC  

you were wrong about 7% leftover

2020-03-19 14:10:13 UTC  

But people like you dont accept fact

2020-03-19 14:10:20 UTC  

you're completely unsourced about an IMMENSE pay cut

2020-03-19 14:10:26 UTC

2020-03-19 14:10:28 UTC

2020-03-19 14:12:37 UTC
