Chuck Schumer Cowardly Tap Dances Around Medicare for All Questions
*angry American bravely curbstomps Chuck Schumer to death in front of the Senate building.
+David Laurie Stop eating paint chips.
Let’s not martyr the guy. How about tar and feathers?
+David Laurie as if the Republicans are any better…
+Patrick Milewski republicans need to go under the guillotine too. How about we reset politics to zero?
The French always pull the trigger first when it comes to resetting the balance of power to equilibrium.
They did it with the original French revolution and they are doing it again.
Maybe we need to learn something.
i would send commissary money to him in prison, regularly….and i’m a broke MF.
these right wing Democrats are the reason for this fascist mess we are in.
Why are “real democrat leaders” like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck schumer not supporting medicare for all? perhaps they are “crazy” in love with their health care and pharma donors. Living lavish lifestyles seems to insulate one from the dire need for healthcare. Not leadership!
@Joseph1NJ – taxes don’t fund federal spending.
+Henry Gustav didn’t think that one out very well did ya.
Actually yes I did,
Taxes are not collected for revenue, taxes are levied to curb inflation. When you get taxed, you have less money to spend, when you have less money to spend, chances are you won’t go on a spending spree as most people like to save some $ in their bank accounts. Its ingrained in us. If you are not spending then you can’t get inflation. That’s purpose of taxation at the federal level, to curb inflation and to discourage unwanted behavior like buying alcohol or cigarettes.
+Henry Gustav So, who pays for things like defense spending?
Whenever Congress passes a spending bill, whether it spends for war, welfare or social security or subsidies it is creating brand spanking new $ and spending it into the economy. For example A bill (i’m not sure if it was passed) for opioid drug addiction help says something like:
10 billion FY 2018
8 billion FY 2019
This is signed and passed by President, Treasury instructs the Fed to mark up/increase the size of Commercial bank accounts by 10 billion(Chase, Bank of America etc) in reserve accounts at the Fed. Chase(for example) then marks up private accounts of lets say a drug Rehab center by 10 billion.
These are net financial assets, which do not need to be paid back.
Chuck Schumer is a senile old dog that can’t wait to roll over and piss on his own belly. The speed he does this after he talks tough makes it even funnier.
Reminder: Schumer has Medicare paid by the tax payers.
Wrong. Look into it and get the facts.
+Joseph1NJ orrr you can provide contrary evidence.
@Joseph1NJ – taxes do not fund federal spending.
+Tony Hargrove Ah, no, do your own research, you might learn a thing or two. The Congress does not get free health insurance. The rest, well, click away, it ain’t that hard.
I hope people wake and admit that the democrats are the party for corporate interest and not the people. Too many have only pointed the finger at republicans which are also sellouts while ignoring the harm the dems have caused.
Don’t forget the media. They’re not about seeing the best human being win. They are about protecting the status quo where it benefits their own interests, and advancing new policies or initiatives where it benefits their own interests. Their game revolves around influencing public opinion in order to achieve that end, if that means working against the benefit of the common man so be it.
@GameNGrind
Democrats are horrible, and the Republicans believe it or not are worse. We need a third party all the way.
I agree, it’s time for the United States to have a viable 3rd party. Not just to get 2-5 percent of the vote, but 30-35 percent, make the Democrats and Republicans have to actually work and provide real change for the country instead of talking and then living lavish off of all of us.
+Calvin McHoward Rank choice voting will get rid of this two party system
+Jacob Noelle 100%.
Do you think when Chuck Schumer finished the interview he was thinking to himself “man, I nailed that :D”
He was probably too busy counting his legal bribes.
The Way of The Beard Sadly he probably does
Bernie Sanders for President 2020. MEDICARE for all!!!!!!!!!
David Laurie no to single payer! Yes to getting fucked by a system that throw you overboard when you can’t afford it!
David Laurie – No to health insurance death panels.
We learned last election cycle Bernie Sanders is not the one.
+John Van Brunt So who is Beto?
I see a couple of trolls here, david and john! eat dirt guys
Can he at least start putting up a fight before he backs down all the time. This is the reason why republicans always beat us.
Libtards are weak-Republicans should ALWAYS beat them.
stop the health insurance death panels, Med4all NOW
They are paid to be weak
To quote somebody: “Weak.”
We simply need to vote more progressives in 2020…and 2022…and 2024. Get rid of these corporate goons in both parties.
NO REGRESSIVES.
…because we have an infinite amount of time to address “climate change.”
+donHooligan Those of us who dont subscribe to you fearmongering sheep know we have lots of time–IF we bother AT ALL.
+David Laurie
tick tock, fascist.
ya time’s a-comin.
Chuck schumer im trying to find new ways to scam people and ill be opening new avenues to my bank account, chuck todd “sounds great”.
“Cowardly Tap Dances” — I love those words, great imagery.
Said it once, will say it again, the entire third-way wing of the democratic party needs to be gutted and called what it is – conservative lite. They are not progressives, they’re vested corporate interests with a D next to their name on ticket ballots. Schumer is a perfect poster child of their mentality – only do what your donors tell you to do, not your bloody constituents.
yep these assholes need to have their titles stripped and need to be called republicans not democrats back then democrats where progressive
Normally I don’t like Chuck Todd – but I think it’s good that he’s pressing Chuck Schumer on Medicare for All.
Chuck v. Chuck
Anybody who says “universal access” is politically dead to me.
Another category you might like to add to your list might be anybody who’s joined what is being called the “New Democrat Coalition”.
Jimmy Dore just did the segment below on the topic. Its a newly minted re-branding of the Neoliberal /Blue Dog / Establishment wing of the party.
Notably, several of the most recently elected Dems have aligned with this Coalition – for me this says they should already be written off as corrupted.

Creating that Progressive Party requires abandoning The Democratic Name and especially the Republican Name and build enough supporters to VOTE them OUT!! 70%? The progressive party can be the first 3rd Party to upset both of these Parties!! Have Faith, Millennials!!
The Green Party is on the ballot in almost every state now.
The problem is most Americans don’t know about it! (Thanks corporate media!)
This is a big start. Let’s cut the crap and BUILD IT!

Good for you. It’s time for these 20th century career politicians to retire, or be voted out. They’ve grown too much mold on their asses, and the stink is offensive.
Chuck is Israel’s mole. He doesn’t care about anything else.
When I look at Schumer and Pelosi, all I see are 20th century failures.
