As I’ve said before, try living in the old soviet union, etc. Stop complaining.** > > While I agree Obama has done NOTHING good in office, I agree with Shady on the fact that Universal Healthcare is a GOOD thing in theory as it will allow people who can’t get it (care) for whatever reason to get it. Stop looking out for yourself only (and your pocket, etc.) and try to see the bigger picture. Will people abuse it for stupid stuff like the picture above suggests? Yes. Will many more people use the system for it’s intended uses? Absolutely. And THAT is what matters. > > How on EARTH is this going to affect you on a REAL, PERSONAL, level? Exactly. It won’t. OMG, more taxes. NOOOOOOOOO. My cousins in Ukraine live on the equivalent of $200/month and they have mad inflation issues. They barely make ends meet. If they can make it through life that way, I’m sure we can as well on our $40k+ salaries. > > National debt. Seriously? It’s been increasing since this country went negative eons ago. It’ll never get better and who gives a crap. > > As Americans, you still have MANY luxuries and amenities that people in the world can only DREAM about. > > Stop crying. Until the government starts forcing surveillance in your home, how you can act, where you work, what you drive, and how much you can eat…consider yourself lucky. Your freedoms are completely intact. just wanted to commant on a few of your statements. so…we should quit bitching and just settle for shit here in America because you and others lived a shitty life in a shitty country? i dont think so. deeper in debt and we shouldnt give a crap? we spent 7 times more in interest on that debt than our education system. so who is the greedy one now? you apparantly support taking money away from children in america, but you are too dumb to know it. our ancerstors fought and died for this country so we can live this life that others dream of, that doesnt require us to live like shit because we feel bad for other countries. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-sad-day/251030)._
