Progressives, Trust Your Gut -- Elizabeth Warren is Not One of Us

Bullseye said:
How do you reconcile Progressive and libertarianism? Aren't they polar opposites? Libertarians espouse small, restrained government were as progressives argue for more government control and involvement. Progressives are big on structure and collective benefit rather than individual freedom and choice.

LOL What "broke the system" was forcing the poor to wait until they needed expensive emergency care to get treatment. The Democrats want to fix that. You want to keep it in place.

No really, if broke the system and pushed us one step closer to horror that will be if selfish folks that demand UHC get their way. You might not "pay" for your health care in terms of economic out of pocket, but you'll pay with higher taxes, less economic opportunity oh and you'll pay with your body as what used to be a "Go get an MRI" to figure out what's wrong becomes "Go wait 2-3 months for the MRI so we can plan on how to treat you."

Sorry we will be busy rebuilding the house that Trump has been working at burning down...our sacred and beloved Govt. of the United States, It's far bigger than any one man as Trump has found out. Sadly that is something you Russians will never experience... a Govt. you love and trust. Have no fear we have done it before, the British burned D.C. to the ground 200 years ago and we built it back bigger and better.

Well since you're not one of us how can I trust your judgment?

I sense the premise of the article is that because she was once a Republican she cannot be a progressive then let me tell you that I was once a Republican libertarian and I am now indeed a progressive and have been for 30 years as is the case with Warren. She was a republican when Republicans would create agencies like the EPA so she created a consumer protection agency Republicans used to be for such things but that is not the Republican of today they are off the charts on the right. You should see the RNC platform of 1956 or was it 55 anyway it reads like today's dem Manifesto. I don't know what happened to Republicans they have gone cuckoo Over the Cuckoo's Nest

And you and your family would likely be living in the gutter if not for FDR. He lifted millions from poverty.
