B : Yeah, "free" health care access.
T : What about it?
B : Why not actually look at why we have a problem with health care, i.e., high costs, instead?
T : So, you want more regulation? This requires more government, I thought libertarians didn't like this? I think we need to promote lifestyle changes - a large majority of us eat coffee and donuts for breakfast.
B : Have you looked at the numbers for Medicare? Go to youtube, do a search for "David Walker" and click on the first result. Now, tell me how we can afford to throw more money at health care?
T : No, I haven't. I don't really have the time too look at david walker.
B : Saying that we'll save money by not being in Iraq is not an answer. We couldn't and can't afford it either. Besides, that's not solving the problem.
T : Okay?
B : I care. And I don't even own a gun. It shows a lack of respect for the Bill of Rights, something the government is supposed to protect.
T : So, Obama and I so far disagree on one issue, so? He's not aggressively anti-gun it doesn't bother me.
B : Immunity is one thing, what is worse are the additional powers granted to the government under the bill. Again, BoR's, trampling instead of protecting.
T : This issue is more complicated than you're making it. The government came to the telecomm asking them for services with rewards, or else. I'd imagine that rewards were great but so were the threats. It's a big mess, imho. As for the additional powers, such as?
B : It was in my post, and I didn't know what you asked about specifically, so I commented on all of it. Yes, he at one time was pro-decriminalization. He changed his mind. I have no idea what his stance on medical marijuana is, but I hope it is better than Bill Clinton's.
T : Interesting how his positions changes the second he runs for POTUS, 😉
B :Are you giving him a free pass for saying one thing to one group of people, and something different to another group of people?
T : Why do view everything he does as is set in stone?
B : If not, what exactly is his stance on Iran? Sanctions. Sanctions are an act of war.
T : Sanctions are not an act of war, even if they are; they're just sanctions.
B : Look at sanctions did to the Iraqi people, and then ask why?
T : Too reduce Saddams power.
B : What problems did they solve?
T : Saddam power and influence - his dictatorship was rapidly losing power before the war.
B : Is a nuclear Iran a threat to the USA?
T : Is a nuclear XYZ Country a threat to the USA?
B : If you were Iran and the USA had troops in almost every country bordering Iran, would you want a nuke?
T : You already know the answer to the question so why are you asking me?
