What Donald Trump said in the debate was that "he is not against vaccination. He wants to spread out the number of injections over time". Ben Carson seems to agree with that too.zzm9980 wrote:calugaruvaxile is right Raj, none of the politicians have our best interests at heart. Just those of special interests. I actually trust Donald to be more sincere than any other serious candidate (and by that I mean candidate with more than a 5% chance of winning, not their own sincerity at being serious).
I just don't agree with his view on a few issues. In particular Immigration and Vaccination. I'm not sure what Aragorn hinted at in his comment above, but the quotes I saw seem really hard to take out of context.
I think it's hard to tell. This how he behaves in the domestic debates not necessarily will translate to any international ground.... assuming he is not an idiot.nakatago wrote:In all seriousness, the Donald isn't fit to be in a position that requires finesse as he's too brash. If you want to tap into his business acumen, then put him in charge of the economy rather than diplomacy.
Which is truly a bullshit stance on the parts of both Trump and cabin boy Carson. Medical professionals universally denounced these idiots.Aragorn2000 wrote:What Donald Trump said in the debate was that "he is not against vaccination.

Once again, the libertarian voice is all about ideology, with very little to do with reality. I like libertarian principles, and, they must be considered in light of pragmatic policy. Libertarian religion suggests that Ayn Rand's version of capitalism and entrepreneurship is the end all, be all, that everything can be solved by self interested capitalists. The real world is far removed from that ideal.JR8 wrote:I'd have thought it matters far more how Sanders defines Socialism.Strong Eagle wrote:Really depends upon what you mean by "socialism".

Your list is a strawman, not least since the suggested facilities exist in multitudes of countries that aren't and have never been socialist. As you well know In fact IME the reverse is true, such things tend to be lacking in countries that are socialist.

Consider Clinton, he was up to his neck self-interested projects that enriched him.rajagainstthemachine wrote:I see him a sneaky person with vested interests, a person who will not care for the well being of the American public. The only people who would be interested in seeing his rise would be corporations and business men.
That's because said medical professional in the US have *major* political influence. The last thing they'd want to see is a treatment policy that reduced their exorbitant fees.Strong Eagle wrote:Which is truly a bullshit stance on the parts of both Trump and cabin boy Carson.

That's 'traditional' socialism but it's very well proven by now that such state ownership consigns an economy to the basket-case league.Strong Eagle wrote:Traditional socialism definitions state that the 'means of production are held by the state'... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
But, that's not what Bernie is proposing at all. What he is proposing is the 'strawman' list I presented... universal healthcare, a single payer system that removes the profit from healthcare insurance. I can't see why this is a bad idea. It in no way hampers competition in the healthcare market, it does provide a big hammer to control healthcare costs, and in particular, doctor owned fee for services companies that are running rampant.
Bernie supports progressive taxation, at rates substantially higher than they are now. I'm good with that.
