We need to have annual fitness tests and physicals to unlock tax breaks. If you are obese, sorry you have to pay more in taxes. Not fair to the healthy people.

About time something like this came out.

We constantly hear from people how much more expensive America's healthcare is than the rest of the world. Well no shite, we're fricking fatter than most of the rest of the world.

Government subsidizes this sloth trough Medicaid, food stamps, and God only knows what other programs they have that incentivize irresponsibility. It's disgusting.

How about we just end all healthcare spending because anything that requires the labor of another human isn't a right.

If the US as a whole would do what Nebraska just voted on with SNAPs programs, it would take obesity and diabetic cases down...probably about 30%.

Print the trillion dollar coin AOC wants.

Put it on red/black at a casino.

If we win great. If we lose say it’s fake. What will they do?

They best way for the Government to reduce the deficit is for them to stop spending ungodly amounts of money on stuff like Trans plays in a foreign country or putting tampons up in the boys bathroom. Not only are they wasting huge amounts of money but they are borrowing the money to do all this insane stuff and paying interest. That’s just adding insult to injury.

We could do this with gold, if you read the US Code it gives the Treasury Secretary wide latitude to bid up the gold market if he wishes.

Then all that needs to be done is to mark gold to market on the Treasury balance sheet, and the Assets will exceed Liabilities.

Actually, I think both Bill Clinton and Barak Obama talked about it, it's just that everything they tried to do made it worse, not better.

We can’t even call them fat anymore, allegedly, and you want to tax them more because they’re fat?? I’m in.

Our country will not turn you away from medical care for not having money.

That’s part of the problem. A lot more emergencies would take care of themselves if we turned the freeloaders away.

But that will never happen

Wait until you see the exploding costs associated with the growth in children being diagnosed on the spectrum.

The government refuses to protect our food supply because politicians might lose donations. Wouldn’t protecting Americans from predatory food manufacturers make more sense?

Need to also make people on welfare shop only at government depots where the only foods are bread, chicken, eggs, rice, etc

Want to be on welfare all of your life? Fine. You won't be purchasing honey buns, Dorritos, purple drink, and Oreos with tax payer money.

The corporations such as Pepsi, Coke, and Frito Lay are just as much at the trough making billions in sales to people paying with government money

For years I have pointed to the healthcare costs per capita in South Korea and Japan vs US.

The difference is they have almost no obesity and eat a lot of fish/chicken/rice/veggies. They also walk a lot, whereas Americans are the exact opposite

People here also abuse drugs. Italy for instance has a higher chronic pain rate per capita yet they still use a lot less opioids. Chronic pain would also be less common if people weren’t whale sized…

Abolish the Federal Reserve

Cancel Americans debt

Tell the Banking Cartel to come and get it!!!

Anyone ever wonder, (who do we truly owe money to?)

And why are those same pricks lend out 10-12x’s our deposits?

In essence, Charging us interest on loans created on a piece of paper.

Until the Fed is gone, we won’t crawl out of this

Take a trip to an emergency room in any large hospital, look at the people who are there for treatment and what they “need” treatment for, and you will have this amplified for you. I would guess that most of you are already aware of this if you’ve visited an ER.

It’s out of control, and I guarantee you that a hospital medical worker could expound on it much more than I’m capable of.
