I agree. That is why many of us were pissed that Obama would take a Republican-created idea, the individual mandate, and force it on to the American people.
Right because Democrats are soo stupid, They have to plagerized someone else's idea and pass it off as their own.
IN that case, yes. The individual mandate was created by the Right Wing. Romney put it in place in Mass.
I love it.
Dems can NEVER own up to the snip they pull.
ALWAYS someone elses fault.

So Hillary would have been better for "right wingers"?
We do not spend much time actually debating facts or what people on the Left actually believe.
We spend our time debating the ignorant propaganda the Right Wing has been fed for decades that isn't even true.

You're wasting your time on nuances like that. They don't care about nuance. Bernie said free therefore regardless of context that means socialism is for free stuff. That's standard conservative logic these days.

My bottom line, whenever there is a cry for tax increases to pay for social programs is a resounding NO because they don't spend our money wisely, prudently.
I don't how rewarding them (government) for mismanagement of our money will improve anything.

Take your ego and put it on a chair. Then sit on it. There, now its in the right position.

My bet is Military spending is the leader in waste and over charging. Public fear of not being able to destroy the world and all of it's boogie men helps to fuel it.

Medicare for all would be possible and cheaper.

There's no debate on this issue, or is it?
I rarely see government projects come in at projected cost. So just because someone came up with a number, I wouldn't say there is no debate. I'm not saying it isn't true, but we're speaking in hypotheticals here.

Leftist want free meaning they don't have to reach into their own personal pocket to pay for it. They know someone has to pay for it hence why every policy is supposed to be funded by the "rich".
Of course, where all this breaks down is that the rich can't pay for everything. You could take every asset the 1% owns and it still couldn't pay for everything. As a result, what really happens is that the middle class winds up paying for everything.

I'd start with overturning Citizens United, like yesterday.
