Shame the Republicans don't want to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make their own vaccine :biggrin:

Socialism has its place, I just don't want a socialist economy.
when are you going to realize this is a straw man argument? having tax payer health care doesn't turn our entire economy socialist lol. the rest of the civilized world has what americans call socialist, and yet none of those countries are socialist.

Show me where I said government run health care is part of a socialist economy? I don't support it for different reasons, and I don't really give a fuck what other countries do.

"free" is in quotes because it's really a type of barter arrangement the way I see it, where you serve the communities most in need in exchange for an education. Kind of like serving in the military in exchange for an education.

If you want taxpayers to fund education then I believe the taxpayers should get something in exchange other than just more people with college degrees. College educated trash collectors, bartenders and laborers have no real value to society.

They do get something more. It's their kids with no debt and monster interest enslaving them. Student loans are not cheep and banks making big money on these kids.

A smart kid does all of us good if he or she is curing a virus instead of working at walmart.

either way the main takeaway is the economy isn't magically going to become "socialist" whatever that even means in the first place because I doubt you know either.


Yeah they do. Like Venezuela , Russia, and China.

I sure wish we were more like them

None of those countries are socialist sorry to burst your bubble. Authoritarianism has nothing to do with socialism.

Purely socialist economies and countries don't exist.


you guys hate some cold war era construct that doesn't even exist any more.

They have just gobbled the misinformation being hyped. One either needs to do some genuine research or hit the road to learn that things are otherwise in the real world.

Most US people parrot what they are told to think about Cuba, for example but they don't seem to question why they are not allowed to travel there except with a restrictive permit.

All things are not wonderful there but some things are better than in the USA. If a redneck conservative is presented with any of the good things, such as the good medical training or literacy or brilliant horticultural techniques, the typical response is lalalalalala...I can't hear you....shit hole country.

Yeah, we can expect our government to do it right though, right? Since they have a good track record of doing things right.....

The US Gov can bring a very wonderful special Unicorn to life..... :)

Im sure we can trust the DNC to do it right, just like they did, when they threw Sanders under the bus, and ran Hitlery the money harlet in his rightful place
