I hope you're not dumb enough to think that's racist like the liberal media thought/ told everyone that it was initially. You're a big government guy. Aren't you a bit pissed that Obama had the means and the capability to stockpile medical equipment and supplies for a large scale pandemic instead of wasting a trillion that amounted to only a few hundred billions for roads and a healthcare need by some or political need as I see it? Yes, I'm tired of preachy Evangelicals and preachy liberals and all their sermons. You may hate corporate America and hate corporate types but it will most likely be corporate America that leads us out of this mess because big government wasn't prepared again. So, how many big government failures do liberals need to see before they lose their faith and stop promoting liberal dreams of grandeur?(04-06-2020, 12:29 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(04-05-2020, 11:00 PM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote:Where did you get that information? CNN? So, what was Obama's pandemic planning doing? Just talking about it or something? So, where are all the ventilators and stockpiles of medical supplies? Let me guess, the UN has them all or some liberal based humanitarian group abroad has them all? So, what is the priority now? Let me guess, funding illegal immigration like before or is it abortion or so called global warning? Do you know why Bernie is getting his ass kicked by a half wit these days? I assume the Democratic base may finally be in the process of pulling its head out of its ass. It's just an assumption.(04-05-2020, 09:19 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote: As I recall, the so-called healthcare crisis and the so called global warming crisis took precedence over future pandemic preparations and funding associated with it. Right now, the liberals don't really have much of a leg to stand on these days.
Hmm. Obama at least funded the pandemic planning team, which Trump laid off and did not replace. I wouldn't say he was the one legless.
Shit man, it's not Obama's fault or Trump's fault. Blame corporate America for this. Corporate America is the reason there are few ventilator factories in the US along with pretty much everything else. It's high time to lower the boom. Rev up antitrust actions, raise the taxes sky high on the wealthy and corporations. This is easy. Just repeal all tax cuts and deregulation enacted after 1980. And Classic, you know what? My inner anger is seething. I want to destroy a lot of big biz. Here's another good idea. Sanction and shake down all tax shelters. Demand bank records from them, and start filling up the prisons with CEOS. If we drain enough money from corporate america, then they won't have enough to lobby with. This is one way you end run stupid Supreme Court decisions. Abortion? I'm a male and that means I must defer to females. It affects females and not males obviously. Those bloviating Evangelical pastors who are almost always male need to STFU.
