I'm personally not against having medical debt not be major factor in credit reports. I know several people who have been financially ruined (credit wise) by medical debt, even though they had insurance. Hell, my daughter's medical debt (with insurance) helped knock about 100 points off mine a few years back, and we were paying it.historian said:

I have NO problem with this and I don't carry personal debt of any kind. I will submit the main problem with medical debt problem are not who is in the WH, but the Insurance companies and the insurance lobby funded by the Rshistorian said:

What has to go along with that is user fees to pay for services, we do it for utilities, toll roads, bridges, etc.Doc Holliday said:If democrats really wanted to tax the rich, they'd agree to only a large sales tax.boognish_bear said:BREAKING: Congressman Buddy Carter just introduced a bill to abolish the IRS, repeal income, payroll, estate and gift taxes.

Why are they in favor of confiscating what little money the poor and middle class make when they could tax the piss out of the rich by having a 20%+ tax on purchases outside of food/produce? If they're buying yachts, airplanes, buildings, companies etc...then they'll be the ones with the massive burdens, not us.
If you take home 100% of your pay and eliminate corporate taxes, prices will drop due to a massive increase in competition.
The first thing we need to get rid of is collusion between government and contractors or allowing contractors to game the system. Contractors initially bid low to win the business, but later submit "change orders" resulting in higher costs, saying the scope of the project changed. This is rampant behavior. On top of that, government officials are the kind of people who don't know how to manage a contract and are easily taken advantage of.FLBear5630 said:What has to go along with that is user fees to pay for services, we do it for utilities, toll roads, bridges, etc.Doc Holliday said:If democrats really wanted to tax the rich, they'd agree to only a large sales tax.boognish_bear said:BREAKING: Congressman Buddy Carter just introduced a bill to abolish the IRS, repeal income, payroll, estate and gift taxes.

Either that or you will pay more in taxes, it will just be up to the State and Locals to provide services. I have no issue with either, but there has to be some manner to pay for the infrastructure, health and education that the Nation operates. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative thing, it is a reality thing.
I agree with you on the change orders, they are abused. As for the "government officials" being the type to be taken advantage of? I don't think there is any difference between the private and public sector on contract management. Due to the amount of regulations, I would say the public is better only because they get more practice on it.Doc Holliday said:The first thing we need to get rid of is collusion between government and contractors or allowing contractors to game the system.

It doesn't matter what tax code we have if the people managing the tax dollars are abusive.
