5. Asked If Government Is Responsible For Health Care For The 50 Million Uninsured

Robme gave the bullshit response..."We already provide care for those people. We don't let you sit in your apartment and die if you have a heart attack. You can go to the emergency room."

Pelley mentioned that ER care was the most expensive. Robme just slithered away and gave some bullshit answer about states dealing with the payment in different ways.

11. My bank pays less than 1% interest

I think it's something like 0.3%. Not that we have much in there anyway. Nice to know we won't have to pay taxes on the few cents of interest we get.

If I understood him correctly he wants to make SS more progressive on the pay out side. It already is.

I think he said he wants to let the states run Medicaid. I thought they already did that to some extent?
