The decline in healthcare begins

[Red1966]

Bullshit. They are done to generate cash flow

Couldn't be both? You sound a little defensive.

 

[Red1966]

I just figured it was that time of month for you

28 days? That's the whole month.

 

[Red1966]

I can't wait to stop paying $800 a month for BS insurance

You could have stopped anytime you wanted. Until now.

 

[Red1966]

Right. Everyone carry their own load = everyone is insured.

That's actually the opposite of insurance.

reduced credit rating,

You do realize that the rating was dropped not because of the debt but because of the republicans threatening default to push though social cuts.

 

[Red1966]

Oh, you mean like legal fines? That is not what these are, you are not failing to appear, you are not failing to pay a parking ticket.

You're failing to pay a tax. Punishable by imprisonment. Only debt still punishable that way.

 

[Red1966]

There is no debtor's prison in the United States, we don't go to jail for owing money - not yet anyway. you must be thinking of some other country in some other century.

You do go to jail for not paying taxes. You must be thinking of some other country.

 

[Red1966]

As I have stated numerous times. I worked in a medical lab. They do it for cash flow

So you know what the doctors you never met were thinking? You're full of shit. Funny, you've been claiming to be a machinist for years.

 

[Red1966]

says FEE, a fee is not a fine.

Not fee, not fine. TAX

 

[Red1966]

canndo might have the coolest avatar ever. Jury is still out, but...

Suck up..........

 

[Red1966]

And no, you do not go to jail for owing taxes.

Al Capone comes to mind. FAIL

 

[Red1966]

I'm cancelling my homeowners policy while I'm at it.

You got a mortgage?

 

[Red1966]

You do realize that the rating was dropped not because of the debt but because of the republicans threatening default to push though social cuts.

The rating was reduced because the congress, both dems and repubs, couldn't negotiate. Blaming it all on the other party is just lying to yourself.

 

[Red1966]

I was going to run for death panel office. Something new.

Death panels are appointed, not elected. If they were elected, I'd win the office. BuckHead would be my campaign manager.

 

[Red1966]

Snipes didn't file, I believe. Didn't California recently tabulate huge cost savings when they implemented a similar plan?

I didn't file for 3 years. No charges. Because I owed no taxes.

i knew this thread was gonna get redded.

So for example one person grabs the steering wheel and threatens to crash the car if they don't get what they want... the other person is equally at fault?

 

[Red1966]

Maybe you need a good death panel. This is vaguely similar to conversations going on with the new energy production emission standards. Lots of folks want to keep filthy coal burning forever. Couple of god brothers on the scene with that one. Much fear being spread there, too.

On both sides, but mainly on yours.

i made a thread about it at the time for posterity.

the GOP wanted to crash everything unless they could raise taxes on the middle class.

their strategy is fucking brilliant in hindsight, who still remembers their nonsense when it is buried under blessed rape and the magical uterus that can prevent rape pregnancies?

 

[Red1966]

Imagine that, someone forcing someone else to purchase insurance.

That's not force. You accepted the terms in exchange for the the money you got.
