Who do you think is treading on you?

Oh shit, we have the bootlickers in the chat.

We should've become the imperialist/colonialists the left accuses this country of being. Would justify that spending and then some.

Or we could just give people healthcare.

Sorry, I would like my life saving treatment when I need it. Not when or if the government deems me worthy.

Yeah but we spend TWICE as much on welfare. Let’s start there.

What if I told you that caring about the health and general wellbeing of your people is actually a more worthwhile investment of your tax dollars than bombing children in a country you couldn’t even point to on a map?

I most certainly can find it on the map, I know a lot more about this than you think. I do agree with cutting some funding to national defense. Our 19 year long war on terror has accomplished little at all, but costed us 6 trillion dollars. However I think we still need a military presence in Syria to fight the Ba'athist party. (If you're not familiar, it's a fascist party that took control of Syria.)

Also government provided healthcare, and any government provided service is always the least efficient or effective service. Look no further than the DMV. Look at Canada's healthcare system to see what I mean: Canadians pay $7,000 a year on average for "Free” healthcare. And in terms of wait times, I have to wait 3 months to find out whether I need a transplant, at which point if I do I have to wait somewhere from 6 months to a year to get it. THAT’s why everybody goes to the U.S. for treatment."
“Since Canada has a government controlled health system, they can decide who gets treatment and who doesn’t, even though we’re all paying for it. My father has been suffering for the past 30 years because our government deems him not worthy of the surgeries he should be getting. My dad has absolutely no say over his own health in Canada.”
Privatized healthcare is always better, because competition forces improvement or affordability.

Everything you said was objectively misleading or wrong. Everything.

1. The US by far has the highest healthcare spending per capita of any industrialized nation in the world for far worse outcomes.

2. The US private healthcare system is ranked dead last in a study of 11 healthcare systems in industrialized nations and 37th globally across all nations.

3. Wait times aren't necessarily longer in a single payer system plus the data cannot be easily compared. Even if they were, that's irrelevant given the fact that our private healthcare system has the highest rate of mortality amenable to healthcare.

Stop simping for health insurance companies. Please, I implore you.

There's something the U.S. must be doing wrong with the private health systems, because in every other case, privatizing an industry improves it. Like hoe Sweden is #9 in best education systems globally after they privatized half of them. I'll do further research, and thank you for correcting my error.

What do you call the number two in the arms race?

The guy who’s about to die.

They're right though that it doesn't need to be that excessive. It's that $28T debt that both the left and right are responsible for, though the left much more casually, that's going to be the real killer.

We need the huge military cause we are the protesters of the world.

I meant protecters

Ironic given that America has done more harm to the rest of the world then protestors ever could. Nary a peep when civilian hospitals and weddings are bombed in drone strikes, but when a BLM supporter breaks a window it’s suddenly pearl clutching time.

Yeah fr like almost a lot of the foreign policy problems the the US faces today is a direct result of US militarism and imperialism (Iran, refugee crisis, terrorism, etc.)

If it wasn’t for America, you’d be under the rule of Nazis.

You’d think America would have less of a nazi problem if that were true.

Don’t even try to compare America and Nazis, the only thing similar is that both are humans. If you were really under Nazi rule, you would be killed just for saying that.

Honestly, those stats of china probably aren’t even real, those lying motherf**kers.
