And the Pilgrims purposely came over to America to get all the Indians sick and wipe them out so they could take over the land, ya right. There have been many pandemics thru time, this one really isn't even that bad compared to most. Would you rather go to Africa and get Ebola or stay here and get Corona? Why do you think they plug kids full of vaccinations? We've been past due for something like this and 10 years ago it wouldn't have hit nearly as hard if even at all here because its only recently that people have been allowed to come and go freely from China. When was the last time you heard about bird flu? Or swine flu? This will pass in time and people will once again forget about it. The majority of people that die probably wouldn't last more than a couple more years anyways, just natures way of cleaning house, if it were a conspiracy they would have done a much better job implanting it. Trumps new slogan for his 2020 campaign is Make America great again again.

Health care under funded? You got to be kidding, has more to do with how they spend their money. I can take my pet to the vet and they can run a full blood test for about $120 and find out many different things without the pet saying a thing, go to your doctor and it cost thousands and they have to send you to see someone else for each problem they detect mostly trying to sell you drugs that you don't really need. I see plenty of new hospitals and clinics going up and the price of medical care is outrageous but because of Medicare and insurance they charge whatever they want because the customer isn't directly paying for it or they need it and have no other choice. I looked up the price of ventilators and it said from $5k to $50k. The $2.2 trillion package the government just passed is over $6000 for each person in the United States so if you figure an average ventilator at $24k they could buy one for every four people in the United States. Also consider all the people that have portable oxygen supplies. The biggest drawback is government regulation and putting money into the wrong hands, there are many people who could contribute to helping people but between the regulations and lawsuit it won't happen.

The democrats see companies closing as a good thing, getting rid of corporate America. The Democrates lives off people who are poor, on welfare, or minorities. Its part of their power to encourage socialism. The minimum wage is pretty much $15 in most places already, your lucky if you can get a cup of coffee anywhere for $1.00 or even $1.25. Many people are already willing to pay $5 for a coffee at Starbucks. Inflation isn't always a bad thing for such things as your wages go up and your mortgage remains the same. As with all media it depends on what you listen to as to who they are talking about. Bloomberg has many commercials out and has spent a ton of money but he really hasn't gotten much of a draw so far. As far as a woman for president I don't think most people have a problem with that in this day and age, but finding the right one is the problem.

It becomes more clear everyday that Bloomberg is just Trump with a democrat badge, the last thing the Democrates want is another Trump. Starting to look like yet another election where most people are not happy with the candidates, maybe more people need to vote in the primaries. Many people are just smart enough to know they don't want to be the President.

Most high schools offer College classes and vocational classes if the students are willing to do it. I think much of the issue is what happens at home, parents need to be part of their child's education. Some people, in fact many people aren't even able to preform minimum wage jobs much less attend college or go into an advanced field, we should be more focused on work ethics and financial management in schools. Also if we would teach them more in k-12 there wouldn't be a need for college unless you were becoming a doctor or something.

When I was paying child support that was considered a "judgement against me" so I ended up paying close to 2% more for my mortgage, however if I had a wife and 4 kids at home it would not of affected my credit even thou I would of had many more expenses. Never missed a payment, always paid it on time. Child support is 1/4 of your income, plus taxes, plus whatever else you spend on the kid, and that's just for 1 child, it increases for each one after that. Is it fair the way they figure things, not always, but a student loan is just that, "a loan" and should affect your credit rating as such. Intrest on student loans is less than other loans and way cheaper than a credit card, but if you did use your credit card for school or emergency use it would certainly show up on your credit. Same with medical bills, its all debt you owe and affects your ability to pay off other loans.

If you owe nothing you get $2000 per child age 0-17 that's $34,000 and after that as long as you claim them as a dependent you get $500 a year. If you were to put that in a good account every year with compound interest it should be around $50,000, even if you didn't make any interest on it it would still be $35,000 and you can do it tax free because it for education. I know people with 3 or 4 kids that get about a $10,000 refund every year and for some reason 3 months later they can't even pay their rent, but they have a new iphone, no clue how they blow the money so fast but to them its easy come, easy go.

The United States government already gives a $2000 tax credit per child every year, if the parents were responsible they could put that money into a good savings account for their child's college and they would have about $50,000 to use toward their child's education after they graduate high school.

If you owe money on a student loan it should be on your credit rating because you owe that money, the amount you make is reduced by the amount of your payment every month so you have less resources to pay back the debt of another loan. The people loaning you money have every right to know that you have less money available every month to pay your loan back. And just because someone has an education does not mean they make more money or that they are smart with their money, it usually means they have worked at a job less, and if they defer their student loan debt at all that should lower their credit score even more because clearly they aren't capable if paying their debts back.

What makes this plan "affordable"? Or employees any kind of "common sense?
Half the students in the USA already receive free or reduced lunches and its not that big of burden to pay for them or just bring something from home.
Teachers work half as many hours as the average American and many do make $60k a year, how about we find more for them to do such as daycare for when the kids aren't in school to make up for some of the extra time?
Standardized test are ment to hold schools accountable to a certain level of teaching, what next? We drop the English requirement because soon we will all be speaking Spanish? Or everyone has a cell phone so we don't need math? The tests are used to compare what areas are doing what.
I know many people with college degrees that do nothing related to what they went to school for, college is not for everybody and giving free tuition would cause many to go even if they have no interest in it just because its "free". Just because something is "free" doesn't mean somebody isn't paying for it.
There are ways to make schools and education better, we've tried throwing money at it and that just caused even more money to be thrown at it with few results.

I almost forgot to mention the large number if cats and dogs on insulin now. It like Avacados, when something becomes popular everybody seems to get onboard. Pets use "human" insulin and more and more pets are being diagnosed with diabetes, easiest way to fix it? You got it, just give them 2 shots of insulin everyday, after all our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such.

When you say Huawei its the same as saying the Chinese government, of coarse the Chinese government would never do anything to harm us

I was just glad that the hillside didn't catch on fire and burn another 80,000 acres of California, and that nobody on the ground was hit and killed. To me if you fly in a helicopter you know you are putting your life at risk especially when the weather is bad, they just had that crash in Hawaii a couple months ago. Its like when people bring wild animals in their house and get attacked, or those who climb mountains and get lost or injured and then expect others to feel sorry for them.

Most people with type2 diabetes can control it thru diet and life style and there is also other medications to help control it. People with type1 need insulin, but people unwilling to do things about type2 diabetes are driving up demand and price, and yes the pharmaceutical companies do abuse the system, but you can't really blame them for not wanting to make drugs they are not going to make money off from, that money is needed to make new drugs to help other problems. Anyone can buy the a monitor to check there sugar level on a regular basis for less than $30. If people would start monitoring their own health early on perhaps we could control many more health concerns. What concerns me most about the big drug companies is the targeting of people to make them believe they need all these drugs, and such things as old people with ED
should be covered to get Viagra or whatever else to have sex, to me there is a reason why nature has made this happen and if they want to have sex they should pay for their own medication and not have it paid for by the government or insurance that others pay for.

I wasn't aware that Jessie Ventura was posting in this forum til now. Not sure that Canada is going to let these people in their country, its also assuming the wall between the US hasn't been completed by that time. Can somebody explain why China would wipe out their biggest customer? Or why they wouldn't have enough money to do anything they want? After all clearly they make their own money and make up what its worth, plus they have 4 times the number of people in the United States so if they really wanted to do something they could. It may seem we are close to a civil war but how many people are truly going to go out and do something about it? The thing about civil wars is it involves the up rising group, the military, the general public, and often times outside things such as foreign militaries. Once everything is wiped out nobody cares if the gummy bears or whatever else takes over. People say they don't believe the media but yet they still seem to be brain washed by them and others. There is more propaganda out there then there has ever been before.

The United States only has about 4.5% of the worlds population, it is ranked 3rd behind China and India. But you must also look at the size of the United States. If Africa would join just a few countries into one then they could easily pass the United States in population. The reason the United States is the Super power that it is is because of its innovation. The United States has been the major player in everything from inventing, manufacturing, to farming. If it wasn't for things developed in the US most of the world would be starving, that is if there was even still a world to live in. If things hadn't played out the way they did who knows we may have fought WW2 to the bitter end. From current things from your cell phone to the internet largely invented in the United States. Europe has developed somethings, but for the most part it took the US to make them successful. Clearly other places such as Germany are capable of creating new things, and even the Russians were able to beat the US in the space race. But for the most part knowledge from the US has been stolen in order for other countries to develop things. The United States are forced into being the world power because its the only country that has the money and knowledge to keep things developing, and the US has to protect these assets even if it is very expensive to do so. Life would have been much better if such things as the internet would not have become global, but it has and now we have to deal with it. Many things the US does is for their best interest, but many others are just to make other areas a better place. So I really don't see the US as being as selfish as many view them as being.

First off there is 6 million more women in the United States then there are men. Maybe you are thinking of China or India where they have limits on the number of children people are having so many choose to have a boy instead of a girl. If or when the US has another draft it is likely that would include women because everybody knows we need equal rights and we can't discriminate. The next war will be highly technical with the use of drones and remote weapons along with a lot of computer hacking so kill offs like past wars are very unlikely. Will a civil war occur? Will North Korea nuke somebody? Will China start something to take over the world? Its too early to tell, and too early to know how far it will go, will it end all humans on earth? Then it doesn't matter because all the men and women will be dead and nobody will need to find a spouse. There are also ways to reproduce without being married or husband and wife. Maybe it would just evolve in being more lesbian couples? The world was supposed to end many times in the past and as far as I know that hasn't happened yet so it is very bold to make such predictions at this time.

Your colleague has choices, he can put a bullet in his head, he can go find another job, he can start his own business, or he can lay around n do nothing and be a burden on society. What one considers a workaholic may not be the same as someone else. Maybe he doesn't have what it takes to be upper middle class and should settle for just regular middle class. That's where the "greed" part starts to take effect. Anyone who has the hustle and wants to be their own boss or even have people work for them they can with enough effort. My saying has always been the best way to make money is have someone else do it for you. Greed is what drives people therefore greed is good even if that greed is just to do a little better than your neighbor.

Everybody is too busy watching the impeachment hearings

Well if it wasn't for Hillary then Bill would have never gotten to where he has either, but the next one coming up in that klan is their daughter, hopefully she fails early and gets out of politics.
