I am at a loss.

First not that we don't need afforable healthcare we do.

Yet here is what troubles me.

All these reps and panels talk about american deaths due to no healthcare and how much it will cost to provide who the hell knows what or when.

In the same mindset, here we are spending billions on illegal wars and are sending many americans both young and middle age, many who have families off to the ME to be disfigured or killed. Ad to this we murder their people at the same time.

So just what it the value of a human life and aren't these two issues really related, it's all about death no matter how you view it, yet it's never a direct affect on those in charge meaning the medical industrial complex or our own reps or the military industrial complex who have it all and rake in the money.

They appear to me to all be in one enormous group hug with hands in pockets exchanging money for self interest while the average citizen X bears all the suffering and expense.

It just does make sense to me at all. If one looks at this as one big picture then it makes sense , we are being used as pawns and are worth the value of words and lies and not one thing more.

1. 45,000.

Yeah. This world of ours is upside down and full of cheerleaders cheering it to it's final demise.

2. You aren't supposed to point this out. Didn't you get the memo?

Things are going to change. We were promised change. Change is all around, can't you see it?

No?

Drink some more Kool-Aid, because apparently the message isn't getting through.

Yes, it's disgraceful that we waste billions on an illegal war, and at the same time right here at home we have elected officials--who are supposed to look after the interests of the American people--arguing over how much it's all going to cost.

Apparently a human life isn't worth much these days. Disgusting. All of them should be sent packing!

3. Hey AndyA!

Hope you're holding up.

5. We are at a loss together,

"we are being used as pawns and are worth the value of words and lies and not one thing more.". That says it all.

6. Your conditioning seems to have lapsed

It happens sometimes, resulting in anxiety and a sense of alienation from what is, after all, the best of all possible societies. Please report to the nearest re-education center, where measures will be undertaken to relieve the unpleasant symptoms of cognitive dissonance you are experiencing. If you do not report to a re-educaton center within 24 hours, you will receive a home visit from a counselor. Thank you for your cooperation.

7. It's simple: The MIC makes money killing innocent people overseas...

and health insurers have the domestic franchise.

8. Pretty easy to understand

We have professional politicians running things who serve their best interest not the people they represent.
