Let me thank the Koch brothers for sponsoring a study that shows that Medicare for all would save the American people $2 trillion dollars over a ten year period. I suspect that that is not what you intended to do, but that is what is in the study of the Mercatus Center - an organization that you significantly fund. -snip
Eh, this contradicts a more reputable study conducted by the Urban Institute which anticipates massive costs that would require massive increases in taxes. Nice job providing context Rob.

"There's only one problem: Nobody asked that first question. This week, Charles Blahous of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University released a study taking a look at the cost of Sanders' preferred program. The total: $32.6 trillion over 10 years. Over that same period, our total federal spending is projected at $56 trillion -- and we're already racking up debt like there's no tomorrow on that budget. That means that we could double our taxes at every level and still not come close to covering Sanders' program.
Sanders responded to this unfortunate news by attacking the study, blaming the nefarious Koch brothers for sponsoring Blahous' basic math. There's only one problem: The Urban Institute, a left-leaning outlet, estimated the cost at $32 trillion. So this isn't a right-left problem. It's a basic math problem. Sanders doesn't understand basic math."

Speaking of Jesus...I just saw a video from Ben Shapiro titled "Jesus is not a socialist".
The only reason he'd make such a video is if imbeciles were trying to say Jesus was a socialist. Lol...makes me laugh.

I tend to notice people on the left using the Bible to guilt-trip people into voting for left-wing economic and immigration policies.
What strikes me as an important distinction is that Christianity emphasizes self-sacrifice for those in need. The reason why I don't find this an infallible endorsement of left-wing economic and border policy is because it's self-sacrifice that's being called for, not you making the decision to sacrifice what belongs to someone else.

Indeed. And they need to stop claiming they are educated if they are gonna claim Jesus was a socialist.

I would be willing to pay higher taxes to ensure healthcare would be guaranteed to all. It's more accessible, affordable, and cost-effective than our current system, which would improve our citizens' overall health and wealth.
It also seems to pass the test as the moral thing to do by most normative and descriptive theories of ethics I can remember.
This article is about two years old, but doctors in Canada seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. There was even an increase in doctors around the same time, so their healthcare system doesn't seem to be driving them away from their practice at home.

Yeah, they should learn from the Right instead, and use the Bible as a means to threaten homosexuals, pregnant women, rape victims, scientists/evolutionists, atheists and other religions with total damnation.
Bingo. And all those hookers had hearts of gold. Also a variety of STD's, but hearts of gold too.

Oh yeah obviously the religious right's not perfect, and you and I have had many discussions on this and you know I believe in universal reconciliation. I mentioned the left specifically because we were discussing economic policy in this thread, and because somebody else brought up the relation between Christianity and economics in this thread.
