I remember when Clinton was running the first time. They were touting some new health plan on the news and bragging about the cost.
I looked at my wife, and she said that it was like half again what the cost would be for her plan at her full time job.
Ever since,
every plan I have seen for giving everyone the same benefits that gainfully employed people, people in the military, etc. pay for or earn,
it is the same thing.
You can magically give everyone A’s in school, praise for playing a sport, etc. without taking away everyone else’s A’s, wins, etc.
For some reason, they think they can magically give everyone the same house, medical care, and stuff that other people pay for- and that money not coming from somewhere.
I have never figured out why they can’t understand that the love, A’s, validation, and encouragement they gave Sally Scumbag cost nothing-
but that when Sally Scumbag is trashing her Section 8 housing, selling her food stamps for drug money, rotting her teeth away smoking meth, calls an ambulance because here teeth hurt, gets taken to the ER, gets treated, and also finds out she needs prenatal care-
that her housing, food stamps, medical care, meds, professional’s time, ambulance gas, the ultrasound machine, etc. all actually cost money that has to come from somewhere.
A lot of people think the grasshoppers deserve and have a right to the ant’s food.
