So...is everyone confortable with the way America is headed?

It’s harder to not hate on Smash than the opposite.

to anyone that expresses sentiment like this: “omg it’s 2000 pages!”

shut the fuck up.

I love American politics. Keep it up, America.

Yes I am comfortable with the way America is headed.
I mean, things have been shitty for a while, you can’t help but get used to it.

The current bill sucks, but it’s far better than nothing. This bill is the first step to what we’ve been trying to get for years:

Universal health care. Now the Senate needs to do their job. >_>

I dont mind healthcare for everyone seeing as how it is too damn expensive to pay the premiums for private, but i think its stupid that abortion was the thing holding up the votes. If you are raped and pregnant, go ahead and let my taxes pay for the abortion, hell we pay for the rapist to be locked, but if max and susy forget to use any kind of protection, let their stupid asses pay for it themselves.

I gave up debating and following politics closely as the talking heads on both sides centered around the fear of politics and who could feed the most bs to the tools of each side. If you thought the healthcare debate was huge, just wait a few weeks when the immigration bill becomes the talking point.

I want health care for everyone but taxing the rich more is not right, literally hehe. My mom had business that were reamed by California taxes to the point where she almost went out of business. to think they would do it more to the hardworking people that deserve a break more than anyone is retarded. F with the small business owners our country needs, not smart.

Fixed that for you. I wholeheartedly agree, BTW. :tup:

Corporations like Walmart need to be taxed proportionate to their wealth.

you’re not going to get healthcare for everyone or anything else that will make the actually make the country better without taxing the rich (and everyone else) more, for obvious reasons. the fact that people even think that we can have things like better schools, medicare, healthcare, etc… without raising taxes shows just how detached most americans are from reality, in large part due to the years and years of politicians promising us expensive shit without having to pay for it (via taxes).

considering the only dumb fucks i know of that ever used nukes on other people are americans, why would you fear muslims when they obviously would never be the first one to pull the trigger against the west. its usually those hypocritical inbred rednecks that fuck shit up.

propaganda much?

Considering how Obama was supposed to unify and reduce spending, he sure has done the opposite real quick. If you say you are a Republican, except the entire internet to kill you. Taxes will be so high, I bet the company I work for will drop their premium health care for the cheaper government one.

The government has ignored the citizens again. Now I will have to pay for people I dont give a damn about, people will abuse the system, and go to the doctor to get their toenails clipped. America will be under if this keeps up sooner than we think. I dont even want to talk about it because it disturbs me so much. Luckily, SSFIV will distract me from it.

burn.

Welp the older generation of fucking idiots that were so fucking stoned in the 60s has fucking doomed our generation and our kids generations to so much fucking debt with this shit.

Have fun.

mad?

Heaven forbid we start functioning like a first world nation. People with lots of money spend that money on shit that keeps people scared and misinformed. Big surprise.

i aint american, but i AM somebody who has had health care since he was born, and let me say:

you have no idea how important this was for you Americans. Yeah, for the next few years some businesses may have trouble dealing with it, and a lot of people who don’t know what it’s like to be an underpriveledged citizen will complain about how this is going to ruin the county, and so on…

where the fuck were these same protesters when you have groups like neo-nazi’s and the KKK parading around…apparantly those AREN’T bad for the country, but making sure poor people can go get healthy, yeah thats the shortcut to Hell.

oh wow… people actually think like this? I guess all that class warfare rhetoric worked out.

LOL WTF?!?!? Now we got kkk and neo nazi’s marching the streets?!? Jesus you don’t know shit about this place.

Fuck I dont know why I bother.

Corporations spend billions of dollars on misleading bullshit. This is a fact. United healthcare sending their employees to tea parties to create a fake populist outrage. Pharmaceutical companies funding ‘research’ designed to help out their bottom line. This is all well known shit, what America have you been living in.
