okay...first off ill talk about healthcare.
so he says that medicare and medicaid have bankrupted the goverment and that the free market will provide health insurance. well thats really unstable just because of the nature of the free market. the free market is run by coorporations who dont hav peoples best interests at heart nor and they would hurt millions of people if they made a profit off of the backs of every day citizens. medicaid and medicare did not bankrupt the country. thats factually wrong. sorry paul. what did bankrupt the nation, is the enormous military budget, the deficit because of both wars, the free markets mistakes leading to the housing markets crash and the financial crisis. these are the things that bankrupted the nation and taking away medicaid or medicare is like taking away financial aid to working mothers who cant sustain their family. its like 1 percent of the US budget and it wouldnt make a difference. medicare and medicaid is allows retired citizens to have afforable health insurance without bankruting them. now saying that obamacare is unconstitutional is well....frustrating because everyother country in Europe and across the globe has government controlled health care that works perfectly, and no country is saying that their sociall net is what is bankrupting their nation. these systems work incredibly well and are the best healthcare systems in the world. now everybody says that europeans pay more taxes for their social system, lemme clarify that as my parents pay both american and french taxes and that is a completely false statement. my parents pay like 30 to 40 percent of their income to taxes in america and in france they pay 8 percent. the middle class and the poor pay much more in taxes in america then the rich. in france its the opposite. if your rich, you can pay more taxes, thus you will have higher taxes then the poor. so thats my take off of healthcare lemme watch the other videos now hehe
social security- ima keep it brief cause to me its pretty straight forward hhehe. okay so im happy that he wants to cut the military budget! finally someone who says it! but taking away social security would be such a disaster! it keeps forty percent of all retired people out of poverty, and for that very simple reason, it needs to stay. now it could be reorganized and redone, but at the end of the day, having competition with the fed like he says would be a disaster
