  1. The deficit cutting is due to the republicans winning the house. Obama wanted another stimulus which would have done nothing. Republicans stopped it. Plus, pointing towards a deficit cut when it was extremely high is not a success. That is like saying a 600 pound man dropped down to 300 pounds, they are still obese.

  2. To moderates the democratic party has gone off to the far left. To regressive liberals like Kyle the democrats are not destructive enough. Want an example? Kyle complains when the republicans want to repeal Obamacare but have nothing to replace it with. Why do we need the federal government in our healthcare system? Or feels that we need a min. wage and says the other side has no argument at all. The democratic party is extreme.

  3. The federal government is the reason why we have problems with healthcare to begin with. Adding more government is just going to compound our problems. It begs the question why do we need the federal government to have healthcare reform to begin with? This is why Paul Ryan is saying the democrats have gotten to far left. They have the idea that we need the federal government to do this and that and thus makes us even more dependent on the fed. You saying "It also undoes the Medicare expansion under the ACA, which would increase the uninsured population" is literally saying that the US has no other means of solving this issue without the fed providing it. It seems to me that people against the Obamacare repeal are scared of the idea of not having the federal government give them things. On a side not, Glass Steagall was pretty much pointless after its repeal. Repealing it did not cause the recession.

  4. To show you how the federal government created the mess we have with healthcare now let me first start by asking you these two questions: 1. Why do so many employers offer healthcare insurance as a form of payment as opposed to a higher wage? OR, to ask differently, Why do so many people rely on their employer for healthcare insurance? 2. Why does healthcare insurance=healthcare? Give me your thoughts no those and I will reveal mine. " Medicare is designed to provide benefits, not to profit for itself," Without a profit motive you have no ability to grow, and usually what happens is that you end up working on a lost. That is why Medicare is losing money. It is giving money away without producing anything thus that money has no value and no wealth creation is made. It would be similar to you just giving $500 away a month and gaining nothing, that $500 is worthless to you thus you are operating at a lost. " Health care costs soared because of the uninsured population, the losses suffered by Hospitals from people who cannot pay or cannot afford insurance were transferred to the rest of us, driving cost and higher insurance premiums so the Insurance Companies can remain profitable. " Go back to my first two questions and you will see the real answer "How is the free market going to find incentive to service the lower income populations without ripping them off some how? " In a competitive market companies cannot rip people off. If they do they will go out of business. We don't have a free market in healthcare. "It is not my claim that the repeal of Glass Steagall caused the Financial Crisis. But it was one of many deregulations in the financial industry which allowed banks to behave recklessly," I hear "many deregulations" but Glass Steagall is the only one that is listed. That is because we don't have deregulation, we have over regulation where the federal government has too much power where it can pick winners and losers. "When you only have a few banks and a few insurance companies, how is that any different than the dreaded "Central Planning" of the Federal Government? " Having a few banks and insurance companies is the result of a federal government with too much power creating rules that hurts smaller competitors. It wasn't the free market that bailed out the banks, it was the federal government. In both cases it isn't any different then "central planning" from the fed. Both are not the free market, both are inefficient, both screw over the middle class and both stem from the federal government. " The only "freedom" you are fighting for here is the freedom to get financially ruined when you get sick or injured. I am on your side." You are not on my side. You want the mercy of my healthcare to be left up to some government bureaucrats. People like you allowed the fate of my healthcare to be up to my employer now you are compounding the problem by switching it to the federal government.
