Because others are subsidizing your costs.
I agree. We are very satisfied with our HC plan and its benefits relative to cost

Perhaps for their much smaller populations and to a limited extent.
Never been tried for 350,000,000
Eventually you run out of other people's money.
House holds the purse strings.
Where did you find your 36% figure?
Stop trying to deflect. Because of his foolishly managed trade dispute with China, Trump has given tens of billions of Americans taxpayers dollars to farmers who do not want a handout, and there is no end in sight.
“Many economists say the tariffs amount to a significant tax increase on Americans, despite Trump and other administration's officials claims to the contrary. The nonpartisan Tax Foundation found that a family of four is paying $850 more every year for the rising cost of goods.”
Trump administration is recognizing the costs of trade war with China - Business Insider
And come January, it’s gonna get a lot worse.
Face facts, Trump is most certainly not a great deal maker. He is a 6 times bankrupt, bailed out by his rich daddy repeatedly, turd negotiatior.
well...if you guys had to pay for your own defense....it wouldnt be
if the US pulled out of NATO...europe would be in a world of ****
so maybe...just maybe that is what we should do.....
let all of you pay your own way.....and if Russia or China decides it wants to annex a little land....let them (not our problem, right)
we can sit back and watch the ****show....
And the budget going to $22T was a R house of 2018.
The new budget, effective Oct 1, 2019, is the D budget. Not yet passed. Glad you cleared that up.
And the R leader, tRUMP, has a veto power.
the usa prints it's own money. Can't run out unless the press breaks.
Feel better now? Maybe you'd like to answer my questions?
Your first question was ignored because it was an off topic attempt at deflection. :naughtyBefore Trump the Left said the farmers were overly subsidized. Which is it?
BTW where are these price increases I keep hearing about?
Most private sector companies eliminated them,
The middle class never did so well as when they had them
22Trillion would be the debt not deficit.
When was the last time anyone passed a budget? [It was GW in 2006]
Except it doesn't
Where has it not failed?
Your first question was ignored because it was an off topic attempt at deflection. :naughty
The second, I more than adequately answered.
Thx. Correct.
Anyway, the budget deficit, contributing to the debt, is from the R house.
And the R leader signed all spending.
He has the veto power.
I don't.
Why do you want me to pay for your bills?
Because we're tired of paying for your bills.
If you aren't paying your fair share, someone else is doing so.
When comparing the demographic in Europe and America who make $45,000 a year, European citizens pay $6000 more a year than we do in America. The European economic and social models are in line with what the Democrat candidates are proposing, yet are not yet telling us how they're going to pay for it beyond taxing the 1% up to their eyeballs. They will need far more revenue than just taxing the rich, they will have to tax the middle class and the poor.
So dig in middle class, find an extra ~$500 a month

Did you subtract the insurance premiums ? See, it's not about "taxes" without considering "total individual expenditures"
Did you factor in the fact that with UHC you won't to stress on health care, you won't have to stress out as to whether or not your private insurance will be there for you in your hour in need in the event of a catastrophic illness, when insurers are famous for finding some thing on your application that disqualifies you, or your health care solution is "experimental" when it is the only hope for your survival?
It is paid for the same way it is paid for in all of those countries, NOTING that their per capita costs are roughly half of what they are in the US.
How? See, health care dollars are already being spent, and medicare for everyone ( who wants it ) merely redirects money already being spent into a more efficient system.
There will be a tax, but it will be less than the aggregate premiums being paid that medicare will replace, for the average person, the costs will only be higher for those who can easily bear the burden, the affluent.
I don't.
Why do you want me to pay for your bills?
I don't need anyone paying my bills. I do just fine.
Perhaps you should have done like I did and ensure that you can pay YOUR bills on your own, eh? Then we wouldn't need to spread your costs around around to me.

That is the kind of reasoning used by libertarians.
In the forest, there are dandelions and sunflowers. Ask a libertarian, and the dandelion should become a sunflower if that dandelion wants more sunshine.
Well, dandelions cannot become sunflowers, it's just nature. People are the same way. Some are very able, some aren't.
Libertarians/conservatives want to make policy based on how they think people should act or become and dems make policy based on how people are.
This is why a libertarian society would be a very cruel one. As a social democrat ( a capitalist social democrat ) I reject that philosophy with every fiber in my being, and will fight to the day I die to render conservatism/libertarianism to the dustbin of history where it belongs.
