Venezuela inflation to reach 1000,000 %

Can you explain why we pay about 30% more for healthcare but rank 41st in life expectancy?

Also, can you explain why Americans are among the last to retire in the developed world?
Can you explain why you haven't left the United States for greener pastures (if you're even a citizen)?
 
Jonathan Turley: If Trump meeting is illegal, then Clinton dossier is criminal too
http://thehill.com/opinion/judiciar...-illegal-then-clinton-dossier-is-criminal-too

Clinton would have additional problems that would be addressed if she were equally witch-hunted.

In addition to the creation of the dossier, she laundered the payment of it through her legal counsel and hid it under "legal expenses" when she declared it in her campaign finance reporting. By doing that she accomplished two things: 1)hid the expenditure from public/regulatory view, and 2) Enabled herself and her attorney to assert attorney-client privilege about the laundering of the money when/if it were ever investigated- I mean investigated for real, not some HQ Special thing.

LOCK HER UP!
 
I don't understand this leftist idea that hiring an agent to collude with Russians insulated Hillary but not Trump.

You can not absolve yourself from liability by hiring a cut out. You just create a bigger criminal conspiracy if there is a criminal act.

Trump's people seem to have received nothing.
Hillary received the dossier.

If collusion is a crime we know Hillary is guilty. We are not sure about Trump.

You have to look at the money trail. Hillary Clinton, John Podesta and his lobbying firm all received monies from Russia. So, if anyone wants to investigate collusion with Russia, it should be directed at Podesta and Clinton. The so called spy who is a Russian diplomat which they are trying to link to President Trump or his campaign has visited the White House multiple times and met with President Barack Obama, why isn't he being investigated for his contact with that guy they call a Russian spy? What about the Uranium One deal? No investigation either!
 
If you are in Venezuela you might to swap out your wallet for a backpack if you are using cash to buy minor items. Beyond "minor" and you may need sherpas to carry the money.

Just scan the pictures - no need to resort to reading.

You know the old joke about the Soviet Commies:

Q: Why do Russian police patrol in threes?

A: One to read, one to write, and one to keep his eye on the two intellectuals.

Can you tell me why spending more money on education is good, but spending more on health care is bad?

So I have my degree in business administration. One of the first things you learn is a cost benefit analysis. These things can get reall, Really complicated but the basic idea is to understand what you’re getting for what you’re giving to make the decision if the cost is worth the benefit.

We absolutely fail a cost benefit analysis when it comes to healthcare outcomes in this country. The amount of money we pay for the life expectancy we receive is a fool’s bargain.

We pay MUCH more for a significantly shorter average life expectancy than countries with universal healthcare. There’s no way to look at the facts and determine our healthcare system is worth what we are paying.

Retirement is another area we absolutely fail in as a nation. Yet we have an incredibly high social security tax and it is going bankrupt but how can this be? Well this is the best one social security is only taxed to a certain amount of income. So while the working families pay a ridiculous percentage of their income the millionaires and billionaires don’t even feel it.

To say we are failing our people is an understatement. But the reasons we are failing is embarrassing. Republicans are stuck on this stupid idea that every social program is a Bolshevik plot to overthrow the government and the right wing media feeds them one lie after another to keep it going.

As to your question about one being good and one being bad, what are you talking about? I don’t recall saying spending more money on education is good.
 
Ahh no. Not going to do the full replay everytime you purposely find it convenient to go dumb.

And it has been established that the FBI got the dossier on an almost daily update from Nellie to Bruce and that it was leaked as needed so that it could be then fed back to the FBI from an outside source - McCain included- to make it appear that that is how the FBI became aware of it. A complete crock. There was never a time when they were not. The same game that they played - and McCabe was fired for lying about it- with the outside "reporting" that the FBI allegedly relied on to help the FISA warrant. It was all so-called "circular reporting" where in McCabe and Christopher Steele leaked/selectively briefed reporters that Trump was being investigated due to the existence of the dossier, and then when they reported it, the FBI turned around and used their reports to buttress the FISA warrant.

Let's talk about Christopher Steel again. He was fired by the FBI to be the scapegoat for FBI leaking confidential info, and now it turns out that he continued to work for the FBI after he was fired. MORE TO COME.

When the FBI/DOJ released the dossier, most pages were mostly blanked out. There is a reason for that, it does not have to do with national security. It has to do with protecting the FBI and the DOJ. Wise up.

Howz that prosecution of Carter Page coming along?

I don’t even know what to make of this nonsense. I’m guessing you’re getting your info from Fox News. Stop doing that.
 
You just told us the two big lefty programs are failing miserably.

Is it any wonder many desire a much smaller government and much lower taxes? Big govt just wastes the money.

In general we can't trust our current government to do much well. So its best to keep them out of things.

Im estimating you’re at a 3rd grade reading comprehension level.
 
So your argument was destroyed by Frog and you called him Fox News.
I critiqued your argument with an observation and you go for the ad hom.

Watchout, you are quickly retreating into the zero substance leftist troll category.

Frog is using made up nonsense and conjecture. Show anything he wrote that proves anything I wrote untrue. Conjecture doesn’t discredit facts. If you believe conjecture over facts then you are a very poor person.

You didn’t critique my argument, you made a lazy and untrue fallacy to rebut my argument. If you wish to truly assess the arguments I make and rebut them with something thoughtful and well reasoned, I will be glad to entertain and reply in kind. But if you come at me with some slovenly, low intelligence argument don’t cry about getting smacked when you shouldn’t have replied to me in the first place.
