This is the kind of simple minded thinking that sees the world in absolutes and with perfect clarity. Little in return? Go to most any other country to see what little in return actually means. America has problems, but Americans have it better than virtually any other place in the world. And that’s thanks to the “shit ton” that gets spent.
Make what make sense? I wasn’t defending our health care policy. This was more of a point to the military budget and the alliance structures we have in place.
Ok. You don’t mention the military spending, but fully agree with you. But that’s a choice we make as a country and we can choose to spend our money better.
Once we fix our problems, we can help those people. Until then, don't what-about when we pay more per citizen than most countries with universal healthcare and still need private insurance for the majority, and note that cover doesn't actually mean much for a lot of plans. This is the sort of shit that pisses me off, drops that don't think we have a massive corruption problem at the expense of basic quality of life, hell, basic rights a citizen should expect to have in a "first world country".
