A libertarian study accidentally found that Americans would save more over 10 years with a medicare-for-all system. They reported the cost was huge, but conveniently forgot to compare it to the total healthcare costs (public AND private), which would show it's actually less than the current system.

based jewish shill poster

it would cost us more to switch from the current system to a medicare-for-all system. In the long term itd be better to stick with what we have.

for example brexit, already is costing britain more than if they would have stayed in the EU

tearing down already built economic systems costs dearly

War is more fun...wish they broadcasted our drone strikes on tv

60% of the budget is already for social security, medicare, etc
about 20% is for the military including veterans benefits
the rest is discretionary spending so the last 20% which includes education, science, subsidies, infrastructure, etc

She's right that we definitely so spend trillions on wars that don't go anywhere or accomlish anything and we have "no problem" paying for them though. Look at the $38 billion handed to Israel without a single debate in congress. That amounts to something like $200 per American. We have no problem paying for things when it comes to military spending or free money to Israel.

But somehow when it comes to healthcare "there's no money". People can see the hypocrisy.

This is a common libertarian talking point though. The US always seems to have money to waste on overseas wars and intervention for Israel or to waste money financing the military industrial complex.

For some reason there's never any money left over for social security or medicare *UNLESS* it is financed by payroll tax which falls on workers and small business and not on any upper class tax brackets.

In other words the working class is financing social security and medicare not the upper class.

Neocons and Commies should both hang.

quit posting this ugly whore

Defending ourselves is more important than feeding niggers and allowing the global population to double. Fuck off with this retarded idea that we have to take care of the whole world.

It's simple: killing people is much more cost-effective than saving them. One bomb can kill hundreds instantly while medical technology takes weeks, months and even years to help someone get well again. To the government, it's just a numbers game. nothing personnel, kid.

US military keeps the trade routes safe and open. Could you imagine how fucked up trade would be if China, India, Brazil, UK, South Africa, Russia, and USA all had their own rules for how to conduct shipping in their corners of the world?
What about all the military satellites that keep the internet up and gps running?

For the shitty things that our military does to dirt people in hellholes, much more good comes out of a monopoly of power.

Military might is what we export and what creates faith in our currency.

Y'all dumb niggers would equally share worthless paper and equally die from lack of food and medical care if we got rid of our army.

I mean I guess I never thought about it before, but if we got rid of the tax cuts for billionaires I suppose we’d have enough for Medicare for all AND a new car. Yeah, sure, I’m down

I totally agree with her!!!!! LETS DEFUND NATO TOMORROW!

>hurr durr muh jobs
Find something useful for them to do instead of being jewniggers.

Found the Democrat establishment shill

Alexa Ocasional Cortex is the next generation Tay.
She still lacks the ability to appear human, still regurgitates what she has been told. The UI graphics are better, but the recurring glitches are still present.

You have to understand, the money the government spends on the war industries is a direct stimulus. It goes to the pockets of soldiers, manufacturers, defense corporations, etc.

More importantly, there are regulations that keep this industry from being outsourced. For professional employees it's the security clearance. For blue collar work, there are regulations that require parts to be made in the US.

>Defending ourselves
Found the Democrat establishment shill who seeks to defend himself and all his jew coworkers and bosses against the people of the USA.
When are you going to kill yourself, you worthless cuck?

Legitimate question. Lets stop funding anything in the middle waste of space east and start giving to ourselves instead.

Kill yourself, neocon shill.

I think the US should be isolationist and non-interventionist, but I'd rather spend money killing sandniggers over oil for the jews, than giving it directly to niggers. The former kind of has a benefit for all classes, the latter is just burning money.

Oh yeah, a completely clueless one!

That’s a good question. I would support that in the ethnostate but not 56% land.

>he actually believes nurses, doctors, etc. work for free
>hurr durr much corporate welfare
So is sending money to literally everyone and cutting the jew out of the middle. Obviously your real interest is in enriching the jewniggers and not the people, and therefore you should kill yourself.

Ok, where do the savings really come from?

And if you say "Administrative Costs" then I'll expect a solution for the thousands of secretaries, billing assistants, and others that will be losing their jobs.

But she's right. The right wing of the Democrat Party and the GOP fund wars.
Shouldn't you kill yourself for being retarded?

Pics or gtfo.

*autistic neighing*

Because we have been designated as the strong arm of NATO and are essentially responsible for the defense of any member or ally. Thanks to how WWII ended and with the cold war, we found ourselves needing to be responsible for so much of the geopolitical landscape that we allowed our rapidly growing military become it's own industry with massive influence over our political system.
If we tried to defund "Defense" for Medicare for all, the Military Industrial Complex wouldn't allow it, and we would otherwise leave many countries vulnerable, inluding the many wellfare queens of the EU.

America died a long time ago. The only thing holding this country from imploding and turning into a Somalian warzone is the military police state.

As a Trump voter we all have to admit she has a point. Do we really want to spend our money to fight Israels war with Iran?

We are better off cutting military to pay for healthcare. Where she gets it wrong is saying we can have health care education, etc. Not enough money for everything.

>many countries vulnerable
To what, US-backed false flags?
>welfare queens
Russia and China will be happy to take them under their umbrella. The world neither needs nor wants the USA involved in its affairs.

>not enough money
A currency issuer can never run out of money. The only limitation on how much money can be issued is the amount of real resources and labor available. If there's too much, the answer is very simple: tax excess money out of existence.
>inb4 theft
No, taxation isn't theft. It's inventory management,

gee i dunno why we can't just defund the US military-industrial complex and spend American dollars on AMERICANS instead of on THE REST OF THE WORLD.

the military is a jobs program

Yeah let's make healthcare funding more like college funding, what could go wrong

>fund ‘Medicare For All’
dumb fucking bitch
it's not "funding" Medicare for all because free healthcare literally costs less than what we're currently paying. Implementing Medicare for all doesn't need funding, it frees up more funding
stupid fucking commies

>A currency issuer can never run out of money. The only limitation on how much money can be issued is the amount of real resources and labor available.

The value of a currency is as you say reflective of the resources of said nation.
However you seem to get it wrong in saying you can't produce money over said resources.
Happens all the time, like Venezuela. Print over your resources and massive inflation making your money worth nothing.

Right now at low employment the US is racking up debt. It is not sustainable and the next crash is going to cause huge problems.

military is just a monstrously corrupt welfare system

>Actually, every powerful state in history has never been in constant wars with brief intermittent peaces between more wars. They've always held lasting peace!
>Global hegemons shouldn't be global hegemons because that way we get free healthcare
Remember to actively countersignal slide threads and to never bump them.

I thought we voted in Obama to stop wars, not make them unlimited

Its almost like those who make the most get the largest relative tax cuts. Fucking retard.

The Venezuelan currency is pegged to the dollar the only reason they have hyperinflation is because they are retarded and went into tons of debt rather than just paying for their own services.

Spics are too dumb to live that's all there is to it.

Because those studies are always accurate?
CBO can't even get their shit correct

Get a load of this faggot that wants to feed and give medical care to every nigger in the world.

because unlimited war makes money and medicare for all doesn't make money

i usually don't support plastic surgery, but she would look much better without that wide nose

Is Afghanistan/Somalia/bumfuckistan really that big of a threat to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on?

You really think that prices of healthcare will really drop if they know the feds will be footing the bill with their endless purse?

Weren't they going to be fine regardless of their policies if not for the fact that their entire fucking nation was entirely dependent on oil revenue and the oil market crashed at the perfect time, wiping out the economy?

You can produce money beyond that, but it's a stupid idea.
>venezuela
Their resources depreciated rather quickly thanks to market action, and they were overly dependent on them. Also, US sanctions.
>the US is racking up debt
To whom, exactly, and why, when the US can and should print their own money instead of borrowing it from rich jewniggers as a form of welfare?
Oops, I answered my own rhetorical question.

>to every nigger in the world
No, just the ones that are here. Africa can go full Ebola-Chan for all I give a fuck.

do you expect a debate? honest republicans will admit they dont want to pay higher taxes. it has nothing to do with different philosophies on how efficiently the money is spent. i just wish more of them had the balls to just admit they are greedy.

> diplomacy and waging war is an actual, delegated constitutional power of the federal government

>feeding and makingvsure Shaqueesha's 42 kids from 58 daddies is not

So there's that

Cue: Shut up kike

Because anyone that disagrees in Jow Forums is a jew. Just like anyone that disagrees with antifa is a nazi. Jow Forums is antifa's literal mirror image.

Why is Social Security included when it's a separate fund?

why are they shilling this crazy ho so hard? look at her eyes? is this who we want handling the football?

the free medicare for all plan is significantly less expensive than the current system
"don't want to pay higher taxes" is just codeword for "I'm a huge fucking retard" in this scenario, although not wanting to pay higher taxes is generally the only legitimate stance the republicans have ever had on any issue

To be fair, she's also fighting against the Republican-lite establishment wing of the Democrat Party, who also would rather have as many jews between people and their money as they can possibly fit.

>pol will now defend endless pointless wars that aid the complex (())

Fucking exactly. Once the single payer is established to be daddy warbucks, the squeeze will be on. Medicare and other government intrusion in the market is already why the cost of healthcare is fucking skyhigh. Artificial permanently elevated demand will do that.

Because it isn't. The "lock box" was gone decades ago. Budget appropriations now treat it as just another fund, to be raided on whatever flimsy excuse.

Kill yourself, neocon shill.

No, they borrowed tons of money on foreign credit markets to fund their welfare state the bubble was going to pop eventually even if oil prices stayed high.

Instead of just funding their own services they needlessly went into debt to international banks and foreign counties for effectively no reason. That's how fucking retarded Latino politicians are.

Probably because they want to muddle the issue between payroll tax (regressive) that fund social security/medicare and income tax (supposedly progressive) that funds everything else.

Honestly we should abolish payroll tax on principle it's the most regressive tax besides a VAT tax.

It is administrative costs, insurance companies spend billions of dollars on people that just investigate other insurance companies to see what they're doing. Medicare doesn't give a shit how Blue Cross Blue Shield sets it's deductibles slightly more efficiently, and doesn't spend money trying to find out.
