The Platforms - It Is Obvious

Soooooooo......

You want people to be responsible for their own healthcare

But You dont want the government to require people to be responsible for their own healthcare.

Boilerman, can you help David out with his nanny-state-catch-22?

 Are you that obtuse?

Correction...I intended to type dozens, not hundreds.

I'm all for personal responsibility, grew up knowing it was all on me.  But...

I just wonder how in hell will the tracking work, as in who is 'required' to work and who isn't, how many hours, how often is it verified...etc.  I'm thinkin' a whole new system with its attendant costs.   Just wonderin'.   Maybe somebody here can enlighten me.  (I admit being skeptical.)

So 14 comments on this post and not 1 new idea for the dems.  I hate to say it but David nailed this post.

Oh, wait - this was suppossed to be a serious thread?  I stopped reading when I saw "Honest Elections" under the Jan 6 crowd's platform on David's Facebook meme.     My IQ wasnt low enough to read further,

Here you go. As an unaffiliated voter, I was going to spend my day on Facebook looking for Memes about the Democrats, but I checked my calendar and I have a life scheduled for this week.

Trump has suggested many times that medical benefits should be denied to Democrats. When told that there is no reliable way to determine how a person has voted, he suggested that medical facilities be scaled back in states and regions that did not vote for him. He's already done that, in a way, by lavishing FEMA benefits, or blocking them, depending on whether a natural disaster hit a red or a blue state.

So being "selective" as to who receives government assistance is a core policy and belief of Trump's. To answer your question, it's not going to be work requirements at all that determine eligibility. It'll be political requirements.

You're right in that any tracking system would impose significant costs. That's why Trump loves the concept of blanket disqualifications. One and done.

This philosophy BTW is mentioned repeatedly in Mein Trumpf.

Why would we need to come up with new ideas when our core concepts are still perfectly valid?

Medical care for all. Aggressive efforts to mitigate climate change. Protection of human rights. RESPECT FOR THE CONSTITUTION.

All of the above concepts are being shat upon by MAGA, particularly the last one.

Yes I can.  If you opt of health care, you get no healthcare.  It's very simple.
