Reporter was stereotyping, he's an ass, he got owned. He thought he was about to interview a gangsta, didn't happen. Nice.
How long does that work?
Defense spending in the 60's, as has been mentioned MANY times before, was nearly FIFTY PERCENT of the Federal Budget....now it is 19% and change. Medicaire and Medicaid didn't exist...so 0%; now, along with Social Security, make up nearly 60%. You want to add to those en lements, and take away from defense?
YOU do the math. En lements grow MUCH FASTER than defense spending; and we ALREADY can't afford the ones we've promised.
Here is the same guy but this time with Clinton supporters

You right wingers NEVER mention how the "free market" corps habitually, systematically rip-off Medicare/Medicaid, nor complain about dubya making it ILLLEGAL for the govt to negotiate drug prices with BigPharma, which is how US drugs are so much cheaper in other countries, not that dubya's Medicare plan had to subsidize the health insurance companies so they could compete with the govt insurance.
eg, yet another BigPharma rip-off from the scammers who brought HPV vaccine:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/busi...rssnyt&emc=rss
BigPharma probably overcharges Medicare/Medicaid about $2B/year, while spending $60B/year advertising their mostly drugs direct to consumers.
a lot of serious, talented people have looked at the healthcare disaster, eg:

I have NO confidence that the corp-owned politicians, esp the Repugs, will make any fundamental fixes to fundamental problems. The power of corp $$$ far exceeds political will, which itself is totally compromised by those same $$$.
"We conclude that the changes in the elasticity of pharmaceutical expenditure and in the Total HCE elasticity are due to the private component and the pharmaceutical expenditure behaviour, respectively"
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/c...TRY=1&SRETRY=0
Their conclusion is the commercial components drive Total Healthcare Expenditure more than the public components.
But you right wingers, reading from your Movement Conservative talking points, whine about govt while adoring the corps. GMAFB
The reporter was obnoxious.
Another typical, decades-long rip-off, outright lying, by BigPharma:

That young man did very well.
The reporter started off as an ass, but really, wouldnt you after hearing/interviewing moron after moron at these political rallies? I can understand his cynicism at first.
But, you can tell the interviewer changed midstream once he realized he wasnt talking to a a typical political idiot. The young man knew his stuff, backed it up and wasnt shaken when thrown a curve.
Summary, alls well that ends well.
So...the govt. is unable to keep itself from getting ed over?
Give more of the same, so it can get ed over MORE?
Are you NUTS???
I guarantee you, the greedy insurance companies don't get as screwed by Big Pharma, as Medicare/Medicaid does!
Thanks for making my case for me!!!!
Don't you see the relationship, B?
Big Pharma screws us through the public (and, frankly private) sector, then goes to Washington with their lobbyists (biggest group in the beltway, btw), and cleanses itself. You give MORE to the government, and those people will screw you HARDER!!! Private interests protect what is THEIRS - to a fault. Public interest is an oxymoron since people are only CAPABLE of protect what they understand (their own self interest). In private vs. public, private will WIN - because it gives a damn!!! Public is incapable of policing itself. See the $400 toilet seats and $600 hammers for Christ's sake!
So you lean toward all public everything, right? I can see how you get there, but then nobody gives a damn about ANYTHING - because greed and selfishness are taken out of the mix. Productivity grinds to a halt (this is not theoretical anymore, is it? Are there enough examples in the world for you to cede this point?
Private can protect itself from Private, however. You need a powerful government to arbitrate/punish those that get out of line and break the rules. Unfortunately, what we have is private ing government, which is then bought to give large private an advantage over small private! Give more control, money, whatever, to the government, and you are simply giving more control to the en y least capable and compentent enough to control ANYTHING!!! Then, those with the most compentence and USABLE power (big corps) use that to their advantage! You then blame the corps! They are just doing what comes naturally (looking out for number 1); and they use the biggest hammer in the world (the U.S. govt.) to help them do it - and YOU want to give the government MORE; when you already agree they are bought and paid for!!!
Again, are you nuts?
