Well I guess we got our answer. No, these folks will never apologize. I wonder if they still think they'll "get Trump" between now and election day? Oh to live in their world...
Wrong. The Iran deal was never about keeping us safe for two yrs. It was about keeping them nuke free for the foreseeable future and this deal had no promises for that

Geopolitics is complicated. Like I said in the beginning, I'm not going to spoon feed it to any of you but Europe has a lot more at stake here than we do.
Do you really think Europe wants Iran to have nukes? Are you that naive? No, they sure don't want the area destabilized with nukes but they're not willing to do anything about it. They're leaving it up to the USA to keep it from happening
France has an enormous financial interest in Iranian Oil:

Are you that ignorant of geopolitics to understand what that's all about? Apparently so.
I can't explain it all to you but I'll give a major clue: Oil. Much of Europe is dependent upon Iranian oil. They also do what they always do...Let that big brother across the pond fight the big wars for them.
Yeah, the Republicans don't support a gov't bailout of insurance companies. Go figure. Obama didn't want that on his record either. That's why he signed legislation limiting these corridors:

The only thing the ACA was good at was redistributing money to give healthcare to 20M Americans. It did nothing to make healthcare affordable and it's now collapsing upon itself. Many of those 20M will lose their care if insurers don't come back to the individual market
That's spin on your part. Were I as partisan I'd say that the Dems are sabotaging the current healthcare legislation. Republicans believe Obamacare is a failed model. They want to kill it.
You either can't read or you just aren't getting it. Subsidies do no good if there are no insurance companies on the exchange. I'm really tired of repeating that
I think, as Republicans do, that gov't ought to do all they can to reduce the cost of healthcare. Then, they have an obligation to help those in need and they have. They're not proposing an end to Medicaid.
Let's see what comes out of this, if anything.
If you don't want to subsidize me, fine. I'll take care of myself. Here's my question to you: If you won't subsidize me, why do you subsize my neighbor? If he gets a goody, I want it too.
Oh, so Republicans don't deserve healthcare 'cause...they're Republicans. No wonder constructive conversation is so challenging around here. How do we carry on a productive discussion with such partisans?
If your point is that we ought to raise the healthcare given to vets then I'm on board. If your point is that we should lower John McCain's healthcare because the vets get shitty care then that's where we disagree. If you want to cut Nancy Pelosi's or Ted Cruz' cushy healthcare package, I'm game...
Let's assume you rewrite FICA so that those funds are removed from its lockbox and put into single payer. It'd raise about $100B. Right now we spend about $1.3T
Let's be fair and assume that single payer would cut those costs. So let's say they're really good and the costs go down to one...
You really don't know? Read about his service to his country sometime. I'm really amazed you'd ask such a dumbass question. I obviously gave you far more credit than you deserve.
Oh I agree. That's why it's ludicrous to throw all the taxes in there if you're only going to consider income taxes. Why complain about the effects of a sales tax on the poor when you know damn well that ain't changin'.
