    US National Debt Does Not Matter?

    Regardless of whether the Republicans or Democrats understand MMT, a few may, most obviously don't, a possible answer to your question is that they are philosophically opposed. They may not believe healthcare is a right, as opposed to a privilege for those who can afford it. One thing bears...

    Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. Kim Jong Un in SOUTH Korea.

    wisdom of a Frog who doesn't understand, because he can't, simple, double entry book keeping, which shows not only where money went, but where it came from. But the metaphor of a Tree Frog, at least with regard to intellectual power, is appropriate.

    Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. Kim Jong Un in SOUTH Korea.

    You can always count on "the Frog" for a "what-about" totally unrelated to the topic being commented on. And what makes this Frog "what-about" doubly idiotic is that the money that went back to Iran was their own money in the first place. We had confiscated it!

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    My apology. I did not interpret your post correctly nor did I read all the posts. Obamacare is deeply flawed of course. I have interpreted its built in flaws as being a necessity to get it through both houses in any form. Then once it passed, it became under constant attack from the crazy...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    You're doing fine it would seem, however your post is a rather extreme overstatement if you intended to suggest that it applies to everyone. There are millions in this country that only have access to ultra expensive, to everyone else, "treat and street" medical care via emergency rooms. They...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    I haven't. I will. I did. Very interesting. Particularly enlightening was this in depth article in VOX an excerpt from the Vox article: [ https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/4/25/15356118/singapore-health-care-system-explained ] Why are conservatives so taken with Singapore? The...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    In my opinion this is part and parcel of the regulatory capture evident in the entire U.S. Healthcare Complex which operates in a hyper-regulated environment. What we think of as a "free market" in capitalist economies is a market in which both the buyer and seller are free to "walk". We are...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    Training is comparable for physicians in other developed countries where the cost of medical care is half or less what it is in the U.S. with better outcomes. With the exception of higher compensation of medical school professors when compared with non-medical school professors' compensation...

    Louisiana Church Fires

    The governments and heads of State in Cuba and Venezuela, are poor parallels with the other leaders and their governments that I mentioned.

    Louisiana Church Fires

    Logically it shouldn't be. Nevertheless it's my guess that racist attitudes underpin much, if not nearly all, of the America First Mindset. Be that as it may however, hyper-nationalism is not good for anyone in the long run. It's a dangerous mindset that causes nations to waste their resources...

    Louisiana Church Fires

    The important observation is not that these folks existed long before Trump came on the political scene, they did!, but rather that close to 100% of them will be Trump supporters. The charge that Trump's inflammatory rhetoric at his rallies is encouraging these folks would be harder to prove...

    Germany to Decide If it Can Nationalize Private Property

    I'm talking about pre 1971 compared to post 1971. But a better question is, "What are you talking about?" I assume you mean 2009-2019 vs. 1999-2009?? To which I say Huh? [Italics mine.]

    Germany to Decide If it Can Nationalize Private Property

    Thank you for reasonable commentary. The Guardian should fire the reporter who wrote that ridiculous article above and hire you instead. Papers like the Guardian and the NY Post depend on yellow journalism to stay in business. They learned how to do it from from William Hearst. And they have...

    Germany to Decide If it Can Nationalize Private Property

    Comparisons of inflation in monetary systems based on a fixed price commodity to inflation in fiat monetary systems based on productivity may not be valid. I would think they are not. And you've cast a too broad net with "worldwide". Your overstatements are going to wreck your arguments. I...
