Would you give up your Social Security to keep the 50th state?

The answer is no, however I will repudiate social security, medicare medicaid etc. because they are wrong in principle.

Has anyone considered what's going to happen if the countries buying our debt start insisting on property for collateral. What happens if the Chinese demand Hawaii in exchange for further loans? Would you give up your Social Security to keep the 50th state?


Be even more interesting if China CAN'T buy our debt because of the economic problems they are having.

Healthcare costs will become the gorilla in the room, and wait for it,........

Health care is not a proper function of government.
A huge part of our present problem, is the fact that people who claim to be conservative, accept, and take advantage of socialist government programs.


Yes they are and no they are not.

The general welfare of the population is a proper function of the goverment( no one complained when they were going around to school giving the polio vaccine.)  It is not the place of the goverment to give free medical care to any adult.

The "latest" current plan for the increased borrowing is that the Fed willl be the one buying the debt, which will require them to "print" more money. Anyone with a brain should be able to figure out what will happen next, unfortunately we probably have less than 2 years before the effects of said policy are felt.

My son is school age and he does not get vaccines of any sort, so I would not complain about a free vaccine, I would merely say HELL! NO!

Nah.  And we should cut PR loose as well.  Unfortunately, nobody will give us much for that, even though it is waterfront property.

In the 60s you didn't have a choice... just like now with TB. you take your meds, or you go to what ammounts to a jail.     What if at your school they had a meningitis out break... would you want your public health dept to do nothing?  I was unlucky enough to catch it in HS, cost me most of my jr year, thankfully the dept of health and the CDC tracked down every one that had been exposed.  I was lucky, I got it but didn't get sick.    Seeing as it was during the middle of the wrestling season I was making direct and prolong contact with atleast a dozen teen agers each week.   But your right public health is a bad thing...

When there is that kind of outbreak you quarantine. Vaccines and immunizations are dangerous poisons, I simply exercised my God given responsibility as a parent, and when I took my son to the witch doctor for his first school physical, I told him in no uncertain terms no vaccinations, by any name, by any person, at any time, for any reason, end of discussion.
