  1. It looks like business insider has uncovered another Bolshevik running in 2020. If we continue like this, the only people eligible to run might be Rush, Hannity and Buchanan. Bloomberg's plan for Wall Street crackdown takes cues from Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/bloombergs-plan-for-wall-street-crackdown-takes-cues-from-sanders-ocasio-cortez/ar-BB107RPB
  2. Bloomberg is getting lot of coverage on Fox and Breitbart, he must not be Trump’s favorite opponent.
  3. Going into this I thought Biden would win the nomination but that seems less likely every day. But i agree with rest of your post.
  4. Yeah, he wasn't on my radar either but he might enjoy going against Trump. They are both loud mouth New Yorkers and probably know the same circle of people. I think Bloomberg will dig up even more dirt on Trump. Personally i would like for someone under the age of 100 to win. I do like Amy and Pete, hopefully there is a VP ticket for them in case the old guys win.
  5. You said his father was a nazi, you got proof for that claim?
  6. The irony was your response to claim about Sanders and Pete's dad being communists. One claim without the evidence gets response that is not supported by the article that you provided. Nowhere in that article says that his old man was a nazi, nowhere.
  7. Next time, try linking the article that gives more credence to your opinion.
  8. It was a Memorial Day parade and besides regular parade there was a klan parade as well. Klansmen fought against police and onlookers/protesters. Trump was arrested and released without any charges, the other 6 people self identified as klansmen and were charged. It does not say that he was marching in kkk parade or if he was just there for Memorial Day parade. Since parade was held in Jamaica and he lived in Jamaica it’s possible.
  9. From the article that you posted, I believe the right term is inconclusive. It's not clear from the context what role Fred Trump played in the brawl.
  10. I wonder if uncensored version is available? Asking for a friend.
  11. Type of governance that we have now is not very good, hence the reason I didn’t vote for it, I don’t see where I am defending them. Right wing war mongers have caused countless deaths in Iraq and almost bankrupted the country. Party that caters to special interest groups, NRA, billionaires, oil companies etc. What I would like to see is improving the current health care without massive tax raise especially on the middle class. Also I value ability to choose, something that Sanders is vehemently opposed to. VA hospitals have been poorly ran for the last 50 years, I have no faith in government ran health care down here.
  12. Corporate “welfare” is estimated at 100b per year, numbers that I found point to 74.5b in 2018. Legal loopholes that reduce tax burden for companies should be closed. No argument there, also that money could used for better purposes. After looking at Sanders plan on how to finance Medicare for all, I feel that we are nowhere near the 32trillion number. To me math is not open to interpretation, 2+2 is always 4, now in philosophy class you can argue anything.
  13. So if the current administration is screwing the middle class over, I guess it should be ok for that to continue. What kind of &^@#ed up logic is that?
  14. So at first you tell me that my 32 trillion number is high. After I post numbers from well respected source, you start answering my question with your own questions. Fortunately for you since I work in finance and accounting, I was able to to some math. The number is nowhere near the 32 trillion, not by a long shot.
  15. I keep hearing these comparisons to G-20 nations so I feel some clarification is needed. First and foremost not all these nations use the same system. Germany and Japan use Bismarck model, Scandinavia uses Beveridge model, Canada uses NHI etc. Most of those that are clamoring for single payer type of insurance will need to google these first. Second of all, current system is far from perfect and needs to be fixed. Giving people options as well,but some here believe that government should decide for you though. Despite the fact that in Canada for example, two thirds of people have some sort of supplemental insurance. Sanders nut huggers also want to pull Sherman march type of assault on private insurance. Without any idea how much will it cost or how will they pay for it. Well they do have some ideas, which includes taxing rich, employers, capital gains, dividends, estate tax etc. Let us not worry if that will affect job creation or investments or companies leaving, but that is still not enough. Which brings us to increased taxes to middle class but let’s live in a bubble and pretend that won’t happen. People that want the government to run health care down here, should go stay at any VA hospital and see how great government ran healthcare is. Or just find a veteran and ask him or her.
  16. Of course not, that number is over the 10 year period. https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/dont-confuse-changes-federal-health-spending-national-health-spending
  17. The difference between what is projected to be spent on health care from 2020-2029 vs. projected cost of Medicare for all is 34 trillion. I am not sure where people think that money will come from, unless of course we raise taxes.
  18. Scheer chimes in on the protests. Pipeline protesters need to 'check their privilege,' Conservative leader says https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/pipeline-protesters-need-to-check-their-privilege-conservative-leader-says-1.4812204
  19. I wonder if this is the same magic wand they were going to wave to get 20-30 trillions to cover this pipe dream? AOC lowers expectations on Medicare for All, admitting Sanders 'can't wave a magic wand' to pass it https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/aoc-lowers-expectations-on-medicare-for-all-admitting-sanders-cant-wave-a-magic-wand-to-pass-it/ar-BB100My5?li=BBnbcA1

  21. I have to add these new words to my vocabulary.
