The promise of the Democrat law know as Obama Care promised affordable healthcare. The Supreme Court decision upheld subsidies, yet I can find no proof any subsidy has made anything cost less in the history of economics, can you? The concept does not make healthcare less expensive. It simply steals money from some to give that stolen money to others, a well-known Democrat modus operandi.
My now canceled Obama Care policy was costing me $90 a month and $410 from the taxpayers. For that I had the choice between 2 crappy doctors and had to make a 90 mile round trip just to get an X-Ray.
Aside from just a throwaway line like "Yeah, get rid of them too" from rightwing bloggers.... when have you ever seen a Republican politician argue forcefully against subsidies to the oil companies??? Maybe Rand Paul....but few others.
Except your comment pretty much WAS off topic. You were not specific on oil company subsidies. You are probably talking about tax breaks. Owners of companies are taxed twice, once at the company level, and again at the individual investor level. Democrats want to take it all! Democrat Obama Care subsidies take from those who earned it, only to give to those who have not, or is a classic wealth redistribution scheme...
You ask an honest question. The honest answer is that I do not know of any situation where a government subsidy has lowered the cost of anything. What it means is just free crap to people who have not earned it. That's what welfare is.
It depends Is the purpose to protect the producer, or the consumer We subsidize real estate with tax deductions We Subsidize in state students tuition Food stamps is a subsidy We subsidize electric cars,and photo voltaics Aca subsidizes health care for low incomes We subsidize energy efficient lights, water saving toilets More efficient refrigerators,water heaters and wash machines TheY all reduce cost for targeted products and consumers
Nope if anything they make things more expensive. IOW everything the government touches turns to (*)(*)(*)(*), when it comes to providing subsidies that are sold as something to help the poor and downtrodden, but actually benefit the rich. Food stamps, section 8 housing, illegal aliens/slave labor forces, free medical, free education, Obama phones, Obama care, etc... etc...
The private market is always a better choice than the government. It's kill or be killed, governments are to often complacent.
Unfortunately the government (as least the corrupt garbage that fills the positions in government) is a commodity that goes to the highest bidder, and their goal is the enrichment, through manipulation of taxation, regulating, and legislation, of those who reward them with the best compensation.
Clearly you can neither answer the thread or any points raised. Like the troll you are. - - - Updated - - - Subsidies make the target product cheaper every time. Without fail. That's why they exist.
Explain to us how big oil takes money out of my paycheck. Other than me pumping gas of course. Right. You can't. Because it doesn't happen. Love it when liberals try to go off on a tangent because they can't win an argument.
what oil companies get isn't a subside it is allowing them to keep more of what they earned a tax break when are you liberals going to understand the difference
Cheaper for who the Democrat Privileged CLASSES?! Not for We the People, or the average citizen. Who pays the subsides so others can get something cheaper, those who are among the UN-FAVORED Democrat Classes? I must say, most young people I have meet are decidedly liberally/Democrat. Those people's lives have been destroyed by Democrat Violations of the Constitution. They are nearly taxed to death paying for Democrat wealth distribution schemes to buy Democrat votes. Obama Care is perhaps the worst of all, FORCING the statistically HEALTHIEST to buy health INSURANCE! "Insurance" is to protect private assists. The young rarely need health services and have few assists to protect, but Democrats need them to pay for something they really generally DO NOT NEED to prop up their wealth distribution scheme!
