Spin Zone / Re: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vents about Trump's 'excessive expectations'
« on: August 08, 2017, 01:15:09 PM »
Simple solutions are best.
"Section 1. The legislation known as ACA(Health care act of 2011) is hereby repealed."
"Section 2. All laws, regulations regarding US health care will revert to operable as before ACA."
"Section 3. The restrictions on cross-state marketing and sale of health care insurance policy are hereby revoked."
"Section 4. The limitations and restrictions on scope and coverage of health care insurance policies are hereby revoked."
Let the market fix it. If I want a $10,000 deductible, and coverage for only life-threatening problems, I should be able to buy it. If I want a $500 deductible, well-care coverage, family planning, mental health coverage, ie 'full boat' policy I should be able to buy it. If I live in MT and want to buy coverage from FL, I should be able to buy it(provided the company meets the regs for insurability, liquidity, etc). The restrictions should be on the vendors of products in the market, not on the consumers.
Will require a paradigm shift in health care thinking. Very hard to do. The Reps are scared of taking the pablum filled spoon out of the mouth of the infant, lest they begin(and will) screaming. It might cost them an election.

Dan Rather - falsely claimed that George Bush deserted from the Air National Guard. He was fired for this, but it was otherwise OK because he was liberal and trying to do good things by shutting down Bush.
Brian Williams claimed he was shot down by an enemy RPG in Iraq. Not true, but he was otherwise OK because he was liberal and trying to do good by pumping up his credentials
MSNBC actively lied via omission by altering the 911 tape from the George Zimmerman, but it was OK because they are liberal and they were correctly trying to show what a despicable white racist Zimmerman was.
Katie Couric lied by creatively editing so it appeared the people she interviewed were not responding to questions about background checks (in the unedited taped, they responded immediately with good answers. But it was OK because she is liberal and diligently working to get guns completely banned.
And who knows how many others that we don't know about.
If it weren't for all the liberals giving out fake news, we would never be seeing things like a claim that Hillary was running an underage prostitution ring out of a pizza shop. If it wasn't for these, the media would never had been discredited enough for people to believe anything. They literally have lost their moral authority to contradict because they lied first. And in this instance, lying is exactly the right word.

Spin Zone / Re: Hillary on Quarterly Capitalism
« on: June 04, 2016, 01:38:52 PM »
It's a bogus question.
There's no such thing as a very good return 5 years out and asking the question as if there were is deceitful. The uncertainty 5 years out is known by every business manager and is part of the CEO's calculations. You don't know what's going to happen in 5 years, so the question being answered is really "would you sacrifice all of your returns today for the possibility of great returns in 5 years". The answer is going to be no every time.
When I hear things like this I wonder if they're stupid or purposefully leading people astray.

Spin Zone / Re: Trump's Pivot to the Left has Begun
« on: May 07, 2016, 05:43:12 PM »
I think Trump wants to be President because he actually wants to help America be great again. He has seen what has been going on, and being the egotistical person he is, he thinks he can do better.
I don't think he could do any worse.

Spin Zone / Trump Received Yuuuuuge Endorsement

25% of federal workers say they'll consider quitting if Trump elected President. As with lawyer jokes, the punchline should be "OK, that's a good start."

I find it side-splittingly hilarious, and mind-numbingly stoopid that the very people who complain so much about racism, shaming and bully behavior, use so much racism, shaming and bully behavior.
It would be ironic except the fact is totally lost on them due the their self-righteous furvor in pursuit of their cultural jihad.

If Mari doesn't agree with it, it will get closed. If she agrees with it, it will stay open. If certain progressive people complain. It will get closed. Those are the rules

Spin Zone / How to argue - SZ Style
« on: January 22, 2016, 06:01:36 AM »
I'd like to propose a new construct on meaningful argument here. This is a Not Safe for Sensitive Ears video that I think does a good job of explaining it.
