They have soooo much influence
Bingo. It's not such an anti-capitalism argument to propose the removal of laws protecting monopolies.
In the end, Americans want affordable healthcare. Don't go launching an ACA or introducing grand new systems, just reform what we already have in place.
The government should only regulate services, and lightly at that. Being the provider just means you're guaranteed that your healthcare is being provided by the lowest bidder
This is the issue I raise with the majority of Dem candidates. Their proposals come off as grandiose and naively underdeveloped.
and not actually attacking the cause of the problem
Because the bills they are proposing aren't trying to fix healthcare, they're trying to implement socialism
why the fuck can i not paste anything in here?
May be to big
If it exceeds a certain character length, break it down
Its not
its a screenshot
No I'm sorry man. I know the millitary is a touchy conservative talking point. But we waste ungodly amounts of money on tge millitary that desperately needs to be spent elsewhere.
You don't like increased taxes and think the government is wasting all of our money? Then we have to look at the millitary even more so than healthcare.
Our millitary spending accounts for around 55% of our budget. The U.S. accounts for 37 percent of the total millitary on the planet. U.S. military expenditures are roughly the size of the next seven largest military budgets around the world, combined.
Trust me, just like everything else the government does, its way over bloated.
@Louis no images in the politics channels
Godamn it
Unless it's a link
Going to write it out i guess
Look, you can make a balanced argument for promoting responsible military spending. Hell, you can advocate for auditing and improving the provision of taxpayer money to programs. But to claim it's wasted is what tends to piss people off on the topic.
Its the same thing
Our military budget is ten times Russia's and we wonder if we should spend more

free?
Just DM and I'll knock it out.
Thanks
R&d is a majority of most military budgets, and the tech developments from the military tend to pay back into the economy
I have little knowledge in this regard but it seems pretty excessive to be spending more than the next ten countries combined
No, 55% of the budget is not going into the military
It's at most 20% for the entire department of security
Still large but not *over half*
I think most of the budget is entitlements at this point
20% sounds accurate
15-20%
Allot of people conflate the entire executive branch and the military, could that be the confusion in the numbers?
oh and interest on the debt is a big chunk
It's like 10% interest payments
I'll double check
so 10% of our tax money is just gone immediately
Military is underfunded tbh.
As long as we do the shit we do.
