But it could have been better. Like ALL things done, they are never perfect, they are never everything I want because I’m not the only person in the country, but if it moves the needle in the right direction I support it.
And the ACA was a compromise with Republicans. A lot was stripped out by Republican demand, and yet it was still such a massive improvement from the previous system.
That’s the best part; none of the republicans voted for it and they immediately pledged to destroy it.
It’s a subsidy for health insurers that’s needlessly complicated and still makes healthcare inordinately expensive for most Americans, and required exactly as much buy-in from republicans as free healthcare would have: absolutely none.
Democrats had a supermajority and a massive mandate from the people, and chose to do what they thought the republicans would like. And then scratched their head when they got blown the fuck out in 2010.
While it IS true that you and I are both full of shit, and it is also true that I’m not 145 it is no less true that the USGS does a tonne of important survey work that makes so many other endeavors possible. It’s the sort of thing that governments should do. The ‘name one thing’ question implies that there is nothing that government does or has done that is of value. Which, to employ your terminology is even more full of shit.
You’re so adorable when you get snarky. I see you don’t want something during my lifetime, but rather something recent. If you were better at understanding your own thoughts, I bet you’d be better at communicating them.
Have you ever noticed that your phrasing impacts other people’s response to you? Let’s try this, since we’ve already tried snarky, and it isn’t really working all that well, so let’s try something else. Here, I’ll try first: I appreciate that you want to engage in meaningful conversation. And I’ll throw in another, just for fun: You are right that I named federal government agencies, not actions taken by the US government. Tho’ I do have to point out that these agencies do things, and have done things, yes even during my lifetime, and perhaps even yours. Even recently.
The legislative push got a significant boost when Biden, who has said he believes his son Beau’s fatal brain cancer was caused by burn pit exposure, endorsed it at a State of the Union address, giving it the momentum needed to become law.
Name one thing the US Government has done in your lifetime that you support.
One.
ACA.

Id consectetur dolore eiusmod culpa.
Huh!
I don’t believe you are interested in a fair discussion.
Okay?
PACT Act.
Democrats again
