Sad day in the USA

Honestly, it doesn't really bother me. There will always be people like that and they exist in every country in the world. There is nothing that I or anybody else can do about it. It would be wrong to deny them healthcare, just like it would be wrong to deny anybody healthcare. Most people want to work and better themselves as a matter of personal pride, including myself. So I'm not going to waste my energy getting worked up over the few freeloaders.

It is also a "right" to eat, drink, and have a house.

"A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away."

It is also a "right" to eat, drink, and have a house. Should the gov provide that as well? It isn't good for a person to get too much for free. It ruins the desire to work and forms a feeling of entitlement. I am not saying that everyone being discussed on this thread in this category, but enough do that it is a problem. Those who are willing to do their part may need help, but not the freeloaders.

Well, when there is so much talk about rationing healthcare, even potentially initiating a "duty to die" for our elderly, I have a bigtime problem with the baby-making machines. No, we need to attack our population/demand problem from the other end: Let the baby-making machines have one child, two at the very most - then, it's automatic sterilization right after the birth of the second child.

I know that sounds a bit Nazi-like, but I think it's much more practical than hastening the deaths of our elderly.

That is why I went to school. So I wouldn't have to live that way. Anyone can go to school and better their life.

No, not "anyone" can go to school. Not everyone is capable of learning or performing well at that level. Even if everyone goes to college, someone's still got to scrub toilets, make minimum wage, and get hosed on healthcare.
