We have been paying for the expensive part for decades and have no plans to stop, so your claim that we can't afford it is interesting.

Is there a reason you are so argumentative about basic, seemingly indisputable facts related to this topic?





Because you are not providing facts, just feelings. I am here to argue facts, not feelings. The citations in my comment you replied to literally describe why this spending is unsustainable and we cannot afford it and your response is "nah". Can't debate ignoring facts.

The facts are that we have been paying for Medicare since the 1960s and are legally obligated to continue paying for it indefinitely, as pointed out in one of your citations. That's literally all I said in my last post. In the previous post, I also said that children are inexpensive to insure, which is also empirically true.

The citations you provided are well researched, concerning, raise valid points, and include many facts, but your conclusions based on them are only very strongly held opinions.

This is now the third time you've jumped down my throat for no reason, so feel free to go harass someone else going forward. And the next time you wonder why you don't have much support for your preferred policies, look in the mirror, because I suspect I agree with you on most if not all of these matters but want nothing to do with a discussion with you about them.
