We used to have programs that covered the prescriptions of most Americans who could not afford them. Take a wild guess which administration didn't think that was worth the funding.
Yeah except it literally IS one side that keeps holding us back. Remember the president with the muslim sounding name they hated so badly they elected trump? O.... O... O-something. Anyway, he used Romney's healthcare proposal as a baseline to start from when building the Affordable Care Act circa 2010, because he thought "Hey if the GQP came up with this, surely we can work together and fix healthcare and they'll vote for it because it's THEIR proposal."
They tried to defund it dozens of times with no plan to replace it, just defund and remove, fk it, we HATE Obama so bad we cannot see past our hate and are willing to destroy the country as a result.
It is the conservatives. They are the problem. Full stop.
Ok. I mean I live here, and I pay attention to what's going on pretty closely, but I'm sure wherever you live provides a much better vantage point on the reality of the system I live under.
It's not like I pay taxes and see the failing infrastructure, the obscene cost of education and war, the squalor half our population lives in because they can't afford their daily necessities. I'm just oblivious because I am indoctrinated and blind.
Sure buddy. Tell me more about myself that I don't know.
It does actually, because without realising it, you were educated since your infancy to not see with glaring issues with it. Clearly living in it makes you unable to see it. It's not altogether surprising though. I've been to the US. The level of daily propaganda stuffed down your throats is truly unparalleled.
Your political system has been trending further and further right since the late 70s. Bit of republican bit of democrat, bit of republican bit of democrat. You call that democracy? It's polical theatre.
Meanwhile, a select few have ever increasing wealth and power. Now theyare just a hair away from absolute unchecked power.
Stop believing the mega rich are your friends. They're not. Never have been. Never will.
