All the events the news discusses are distractions from important discussions. There is no "news event" here. There is no dateline. Just a non-event.
What happened to your backlog?
excuse me?
Is Blonde pregnant?
Why is she falling asleep on this stream?
You said there is a backlog. That is why Parente didn't get a vote, right?
i was operating on your assumption that hes nominated and the position hasnt been filled
but clearly your assumption is wrong
but now its my fault? lol bro
What assumption?
that theres a position to fill and that it will be parente
All I said was that he was nominated and didn't get a vote.
because theres no seat for him
He was nominated in 2017.
and?
He didn't get a vote.
ok and there could be many reasons why, declined the nomination, the nomination was rescinded, etc
And you are just going to speculate.
what do you expect me to do? scour the internet for it?
@Shire!
I hate you most of all.
You could watch that 2 hour YouTube video. At least the first 5 minutes of it. But you are too busy digging into the irrelevant life and death of Epstein.
why on earth would i watch that? and i sure as fuck aint digging into anythin epstein right now
No reason whatsoever. 1/5th of the U.S. economy, your healthcare system is not important.
"my" system. is not your system too?
Yes. It is. That is why I watch videos and read books. About the important things.
and the important things is a massive conspiracy to do what exactly?
To control 1/5th of the economy. To maintain the largest tax expenditure in the budget. To maintain 50% of the federal budget being spent on healthcare.
May be 40%. I forget the exact amount.
lol no bro
are you talking about medicare/medicaid?
I am including Medicare and Medicaid, yes.
medicare is 14%, medicaid is 9%
thats also part of the mandatory spending. so thats the 12.4% that is collected from you and your employer in medicare tax
Hmmm. Government taking money from some people and putting it in the pockets of other people. Nope, can't see why the Swamp would care about that.
yes, government taxes (takes money) and pays for services. what a concept.
that will always be the case, unless youre an ancap advocating for no government.
that article you link doesnt show how they get that 47.1% figure btw
I am advocating for the policies described in that book by Phelps and Parente, which would seriously reduce the amount of money we spend on healthcare. Which is why Parente could not become the most important policy person re health in the Trump Administration.
I listened to you, and im not convinced.
Ok.
