I hear the
I have not, but my friends who have lived there or visited extensively describe it much darker than the picture we often get from the American left. High rates of suicide, alcoholism, depression, etc. I’ve also read that high unemployment rates are manipulated by forcing citizens into state sponsored programs and then labeling them as “students” instead of “unemployed.”
This doesn’t prove or disprove anything; I’m just curious where the facts are coming from.

I know this is a dead end, but I'll try anyhow. (It's not quite fair to throw out an argument and then not expect to get a response, is it?) I have two basic comments:
1. I *really* would like to know what the ideal society/economy desired Republicans is. I think I understand the desired Dem society/economy, since "I are one," and it's more or less as practiced in Sweden, a fairly civilized country where a larger proportion of the population is happy with their lives than appears to be the case here in the U.S., in spite of higher taxes.
2. A lot of Americans would like to not lose their homes if they get seriously ill, which is not presently the case here.
We haven't had a good knock-down, drag-out political "discussion" in a long time IIRC. ;)
Sincerely,
Ralph

I guess it's unrealistic to expect the whiners to stop whining just because
the whiners are in office. After all, whining is the only thing they seem to
know how to do. At some point, I have to think that they will HAVE to stop
blaming someone else. After all, the whiners have the executive branch, a
filibuster-proof congress and, pretty soon, the Supreme Court.
Once the whiners learn what we learned in the 50s (Socialism doesn't work),
what are they going to do then?
So can we now get back to engineering?
Thank you.
