Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

It is. Every country with a similar plan pays less for better healthcare. We pay the most per capita and are ranked an embarassing 27th in the world for healthcare.Better healthcare? Like they have in Canada? Where it takes years to get an operation done? Where you have to literally be bleeding to death or having a heart attack to get any kind of immediate service? How about the corners that get cut? How are you defining "better"? Futhermore, part of the reason American citizens are paying a lot in healthcare is because 1) They are often overweight and have unhealthy/sedentary lifestyles and 2) They are an aging boomer generation. When everyone gets old and fat at once, it will mess with any statistic. Also, it costs government money. A LOT of government money. Healthcare funding has to come from somewhere, be it private or public. All it's doing is moving the load from one sector to another.Right. Cause Bush's orders for the 6 years prior were all doing an awsome job of getting him.Bush at least had military experience. Obama has/had no clue what he was doing. The department of defense found him and killed Osama. Just like the department of defense killed Saddam Husein, not Bush.Money spent on jobs adds to the overall economy. That's not a waste of money.It is when the same result can be achieved by deregulating.And your information is incorrects, more private sector jobs have been created than government jobsNo, my information is not "incorrects", I never said there were MORE government jobs, I said many of them were. Government jobs that, for the most part, did not need to exist.and there are less government jobs now than anytime in Bush's presidency.Which, again, would not have been a problem if congress allowed him to privatize social security.Had they privatized social security, it would have been tied to the market instead of guaranteed by the U.S. government, and everyone would have lost their social security when the market crashed, and there would be hundreds of thousands of elderly dying of starvation. Actually most of them would be dead by now. If that many people were stupid enough to gamble their entire retirement on the stock market, and had families and/or communities that hated them enough to let them starve perhaps. Furthermore, tell me where in the constitution it says government is supposed to support a certain standard of living?Privatizing social security is class warfare against the middle class. The rich take all that presious social security money they've been jerking off over since Regan, then they loose it on gambles on the stock market while the retiring middle class realizes they can't afford to live on "retirement" because 401 k is privatized too.In case you didn't know, since the stock market has even existed, it has always had a positive average. Even including the Great Depression, the housing bubble, and every other bump it's had. And it's ALWAYS improved somewhat within 3 years. Average time from depression to pre-depression loss is 6 years. Moreover, people who care to learn about proper finance practices know never to put all their eggs in one basket, or even two (including their 401k). If people don't put forth the effort to be responsible for their own retirement, Uncle Sam doesn't have any obligation to support them.
