    Also, to me, a difference between anAustrian and a German is as big as a difference between a Russian and a Ukrainian to you.

    Only if you don't understand what I meant.

    So when you calling me stupid because you don't understand that makes me chuckle a little bit and it makes me feel sorry for you

    Just a friendly reminder you are wasting your breath this person is immune to facts.

    If anything you say diminishes the fantasy of dominance that exists in his mind he will say that you hate him and boo hoo about it.

    This is a social justice Warrior tactic.

    Here I am singing this and you probably already know it.

    Do you remember the Black Knight from Monty Python and the quest for the Holy Grail?

    Medicaid covers indigents (down to their last $2000) who can no longer live on their own and require round the clock care. Social Security benefits are subtracted from Medicaid subsidies.

    @Polydectes thinks we should cut social programs to pay for rebuilding infrastructure.
    This exchange was on a different matter.
    Indeed. Why not? We should help people without a work requirement who are too old, too young, or too sick. Everyone one else shoukd have to work for what they get.
    Southern Europe has a lot of unemployment, so everyone can't find work. Northern Europe had low unemployment.

    Lol... so you didn't understand what I meant.

    Love how you responded to me without responding to my most recent post to you.

    It's funny

    You quoted me.

    Maybe you should focus on just quoting one person at a time instead of repeatedly quoting yourself maybe you won't make that mistake again

    Further you purposefully mentioned me

    Aha ... and Ramstein is in Germany, is a USAF base in a NATO country and she was used for NATO purposes in Iraq without asking Germany?

    Apart from the fact that I have always supported the demand to fulfill the 2% ... simply because our armed forces have a corresponding need for it ...

    Before you as an American can even allow to begin to accuse me as a German for non-compliance of the 2% and so write such a BS on my country, you should first make sure that you finally fulfilled your contractual obligations and not just play the hypocritical smart alerk!
    From the barrage of lies and false claims that come here from the United States of Trump, you have to fulfill even contractual obligations and you do less and less ...

    You Americans are truly number one on the planet for blaming others for their mistakes and omissions, but completely ignoring what kind of BS you are doing on the subject yourself!

    Iraq wasn't a NATO mission.

    I strongly expect that your government is always asked and agree's before Rammstein gets used in any war.
    Whether or not it admits that to you is another matter.

    Did I say that the Iraq war was a NATO mission? No!
    But you have used a NATO base for something that is not NATO.

    And yes, you have to ask ... even if you do not like it!

    The Liitle Corporal was an Austrian, but most of the Nazis were German.

    Have we learned from what happened in Germany that "it" can happen anywhere?

    Oh, I understand your mocking reference through a play on words.

    Almost all skilled nursing facilities are operated privately and the only involvement of Medicaid is sending indigent patients, most seniors, a check to cover what the patients can't pay. You can't even apply to Medicaid for help until your last $2000.

    If we cut Medicaid support, private operators will put people out on the street.
    I said your comment was stupid. Should I have concluded you're stupid?

    You feel sorry for me? Another dumb comment.

    NATO doesn't have any bases.
    NATO members do.

    They asked, your government said "yes". Even if you don't like it.
    But no, they don't have to ask.
    It's their sovereign territory and there is nothing whatsoever you can do about it.
    Throwing weight around you haven't got?
    It won't get you anywhere.
