Any thoughts on the new 23 trillion cost of free healthcare?

[Seshmeister]

Where's the freedom of choice not to pay trillions on attack sorry I mean 'defence'.

Why not privatize the US military so that the 'christians' can give their income towards mercenary armies to invade other countries and other people can opt out?

This would leave good people more money to allow them to pay for the treatment of their children and parents when they get sick.

Write congress and tell them...

The US population has no say in anything anymore...

Most people can't tell you what the first and second amendments are, much less what theit intent was or is...

[Seshmeister]

Perhaps the problem is being stuck with a bunch of rules from slavers hundreds of years ago and it's time for the US to get a modern constitution to protect the people from those that are abusing the old flawed one.

The US is at the end of it's days if you ask me...

Nobody hardly knows whats going on and it seems that less even care...

The problem is that this country was built on self government, and i've yet to meet more than ten people in my life who can even digest that idea, much less get involved...

FORD thinks he's involved, but he's part of the problem, not the solution. Unless he's bullshitting us on a daily basis, and I highly doubt that...

Why does everyone in this thread keep saying 23 trillion?

What does money spent saving banks have to do with free health care?

Lack of basic math skills, common sense and shock factors...

Most people can't even grasp what a billion or trillion is.

Most are afraid to try to run for office.

[letsrock]

I tried and failed, but at least i tried.

[ELVIS]

Good for you...

I sort of have it in mind on a very local level, but I need to grow in the church and the community first, but people know me and i'm well liked, so...who knows...

[Seshmeister]

It can be done.

Elvis impersonator wins a council seat in Spain

Elvis impersonator wins a council seat in Spain


An Elvis impersonator has been elected as councillor in the local elections in the town of Reus near Barcelona for the independent CORI party.



Ariel Santamaría, a former postman, based his election campaign around a series of concerts across the town, but his manifesto is of particular note...

He proposed that marihuana be planted in all green areas across the town and also that the Guardia Urbana carry a GPS satellite system at all times so they can find people who forget their lighters so they can he given a light for their spiff.

He also said the Town Hall should be painted pink, and the town square be converted into a swimming pool for nudists.

Sñr Santamaría also believes in new technology with a web page, and his press secretary has been attending to the press demands dressed as a pirate, eye patch included.

He obtained more than 1,800 votes to be elected as councillor.

I'd vote for him!

Much more sensible policies too rather than trying to gain support amongst the superstitious invisible cloud worshippers.

Dude, you're so intelligent, but seem so afraid of God, it's silly...

You are an absolutely great guy, but the the thought that you think the end of your earthly life is the end baffles me...

God is real! I know it beyond a shadow of a doubt. I pray you let down your guard and your incredibly analytical mind (I have that trait myself) and look at it with an innocent attitude...

It's not easy, I know, but dude, you're missing out...

And I wouldn't bother if I didn't care...

[Seshmeister]

Good slogan - Stop thinking and let god into your life!

I can't anyway as I've already promised myself to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Thanks for the concern in any case...

[ELVIS]

Hahahaha...

That was pretty damn funny!

Is that some kind of deviant of scientology???

Keep on living life as a joke. It's easy when you're relatively young and healthy...

Your attitudes will change when that's all gone...
