I believe I have fixed them all now. It appears some of the addresses had been truncated on the cut, and paste.

Quote by: lsbskins1 but from what I can see, Sweden is doing just fine. Good, sustainable growth and nobody complaining too much. My favorite thing...the opinion pieces complaining that people aren't willing to just work three jobs in order to live when it really isn't necessary. Unless, of course, you have to support and maintain the wasteful lifestyle of someone else. |
Well, isn't that exactly what you ask us to do with Universal Health Care?
Then, people who cannot afford to raise children get to divert their costs to others.

Quote by: lsbskins1 But even the claims of Sweden's lack of economic performance are telling. They talk about productivity relative to the US economy and US workers. |
Seems logical, since that's who lives in the country you want to bring these rule to, does it not?
Quote:
Quote by: lsbskins1 Know how US productivity is increased these days? Greater numbers working without benefit of insurance, greater workload and loss of other benefits. We are more productive not because we are more efficient, but because we are being squeezed more and more. So, I still think my model is better and nothing you have shown me has changed my mind. |
Oh, and I suppose that isn't something being forced on people by corporations who are forced to compete in an unfair economy, because of global trade? ( Which was also a corporate request. )
This was all just a big plan to socialize the health care system to corporate advantage. Thus, instead of them having to insure, or help insure their own workers, they can divert that cost onto the taxpayer, through government.
So, since "Free Trade" policies are at the request of corporations, and Universal Health Care is at the request of the big corporations, isn't it fair to they that these guys are creating all the problems by forcing people into worse, and worse economic conditions until they will eventually be forced to capitulate, or fight back?
