Single Payer Healthcare- "Politically Impractical" is a TOTAL Lie

The people want it.

And that's with a massive propaganda machine confusing the issue when not outright lying.

The doctors want it.

The nurses want it.

So what does politically impractical really mean? I think I know and it has nothing to do with "for the people."

1. It's just the opposite, isn't it? I do not understand why we can't have

what government employees have. This does not make sense.

2. "Politically impractical" means that single payer system would put a serious

dent in the campaign "donations" our elected officials receive and give them one less place to go for a highly paid lobbying jobs when they finally leave office.

4. Fifteen out of 59

Democratic Senators who have signed up to "moderate" the agenda of the President.

I forget whose manifesto did these freaks stand on?

5. Of course it's "politically impractical", it's impractical for the politicians to piss off

some of their biggest cash cows -- the insurance industry and big Pharma.

They don't want to upset the Oligarchy, which is their real constituancy.

Heaven forbid that the political class be seen as catering to the herd animals instead of the masters.

6. It is politically impractical..

... because the moneyed owners of congress don't want it and the sheeple are so used to being screwed they just let congress screw them.

This is not going to change soon.

9. Yes, when it doesn't suit the corporate suits, who are our real masters,

it's impractical or too expensive. But war is fine, neither too impractical nor too expensive. That's what it means. I have been listening to BS logic like this all my life from Washington. It's really time to take back the conversation and demand explanations, truthful explanations for everything they do, some real fine tooth comb accountability.
