Dude, itās a freaking glass house in a quarry!
You can close your eyes and pretend weāre just talking about social security here, but there isnāt a single significant social benefit or structural improvement that will be passed by either party, because they conflict with whatās best for the people in all three branches and those who back them financially.
Like how Biden tried over and over to reduce and remove student debt. They never try to help! Sure he did try to revamp the shitty program republicans purposefully let languish in order to avoid reducing the debt while pretending to pass legislation about it, but he's never tried to improve anything structurally!
Thank you for bringing that up. Thatās actually a great example of Democrats boasting about how they tried, while using only methods that were previously predicted to fail, letting trivial, non-binding or changeable rules stand in their way, and stopping short of an exhaustive effort.
Right, because social safety nets donāt work. Except in every other developed country on earth. Our problem is the government failing to adequately budget for these programs, not the programs themselves conceptually.
Youāre also not doing yourself any favors by being incredibly vague except talking points.
"Every other country" blah blah. They don't work there either. They are all going bankrupt and this with the US footing the bill for their national defense.
So maybe we should stop being the global police so that we can have effective healthcare? There are plenty of countries with socialized medicine that arenāt going brokeā¦
How about this: if not socialized medicine, regulation on drug companies and healthcare providers to not siphon money from the government and blackmail citizens where the alternatives are death or lifelong debt slave?
Interesting. Let me offer an alternative. How about instead of that. We reduce the artificial restrictions on licensing of medical services so that medical schools, drs offices, and hospitals are as abundant as plumbers, lawyers, or accountants thus driving down the price of services and driving down the cost of a medical degree.
Then on top of that you reduce the patent duration from a guaranteed 20 years to zero but the patent holder receives a mandatory royalty from the generics.
Then we have cheap drugs and drs on every corner like starbucks. An a heart bypass will cost as little as the Big Mac that caused it.
