@Happy2_B_Blue they are racist for their support of BLM which is a racist group now. Also, when a cop kills a black guy they immediately cry racism before the evidence comes out. Look at the George Floyd case, when more body cam footage came out it was clearly not an act of racism.
Other nations have various forms of universal healthcare, including the US. Our form is that you cannot be denied care at the ER. On reason why we pay so much is that we provide so much care in the US where other nations cap it. That is something "progressives" tend to ignore.
On troops, I support pulling some out. However, defense spending has been dropping in the US for decades.
As for police, they are often not violent. Millions of interactions are involved between police and citizens every year. Very few turn out violent.
But on racism. Read my first part. When the left immediately runs to racism for an excuse and before the facts come out, that makes them racist.
The riots are not going to solve anything. It just causes more harm. Many businesses are destroyed now.
You are receive lifelong damage for many things. From what I have seen basically anyone who do receive lifelong damage represents a rare and extreme case, and had underlying conditions to begin with. So no, 5 million are not going to suffer. As for the dead, almost all were old or sick to begin with and thus were at high risk of death. 40% were in nursing homes where, according to the UCSF, 50% of new nursing home patients die in 5 months. So we are basically destroying our society and the economy so grandma can possibly live a few more months.
This is another issue I have with the left, how little they understand science. Not just with the virus but on issues like climate change as well and it leads to a lot of misinformation.

@Happy2_B_Blue BLM is racist because with everything that goes wrong with black individuals they blame race. When they marched for Alton Sterling after he was shot by the cops I could not take them seriously. Now look at how they are acting in the George Floyd incident? But when David Dorn was killed I did not see anyone BLM groups march for him.
With Floyd, have you seen the whole video? There were three other people in the car, all black. All were arrested and not harmed. Floyd did not want to get out of the car. He finally did. They struggled to handcuff him. He did not want to get in the back of the patrol saying he could the breath. The cops said they would roll down the window. He eventually said he wanted to lay on the ground.
While I do not agree with the knee on the neck, what happened was not an act of racism. That is my point. Poor policing or even poor police training, one can argue that. But clearly not racism at that point.
Also, BLM rioted when Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed when that was also not an act of racism.
"The healthcare issue, I believe, shouldn't' be an issue when going by per capita. The funding of the government is limited by the number of taxpayers in the country."
the entire economy depends on the number of people.
Less than 20% of our federal budget goes to defense. 4% of our overall economy goes to defense. Other nations it is around 2%.
" which surpasses all modern countries combined. "
Flawed argument. Our overall GDP is larger than many nations combine. We spend more on education than many nations combined. Should we cut education?
"The financial issue would be furthered relieved we reallocated a substantial fraction of that fund away from the military."
That is not true. 4% of our total GDP is spent on defense. And again, defense spending has been dropping for decades.
Look up military expenditure as a percent of GDP. In the 60s it was around 9%. Not it is less than 4%.
As for police, it comes down to this. On average 7500 die a day in the US, a lot of cases are preventable. We never talk about that. We do when there is a mass shooting or a cop killing someone. Why? Because they are rare and isolated events and should be treated as such.
