Quantity or Quality?

@DisturbedGuy says govcare will work, but admits gov needs to be fixed for it to work. Why would we add yet another program to a broken gov?

I agree the healthcare system in this country sucks. I don’t agree that “just another program” is the solution.

I do think single payer is the way forward, but not just another program. I advocated that they do it in full view of the public. I even suggested that the hearings be televised. If public opinion is at 75%+ support, Washington will have to listen. We use Healthcare to change centgov.

I believe it’s a matter of culture and the culture needs to be corrected to place more value on their child’s education. When this happens, many more good things will follow.

The data suggests cognitive ability is fairly established before age 10. The improvements are not zero of course.

People who make good decisions tend to mate with other people who make good decisions; leading to…

So we are failing kids from pre-k to 10 years old. The "human infrastructure " bill should eliminate some of that.

No child left behind didn’t create smarter kids. It just made better test takers.

Not really, the tests were diluted.

Is education solely for the purpose of making people good economic cogs?

Is this all human beings are?

It shouldn’t be.

We are trying to reinvent the wheel here. Just look back in our short history, pick the era that you want to emulate and institute the policies of that era.

There is no such era.

Made them easier to pass that way.

The data shows you can’t school away stupidity.

Proven by the fact that many of the politicians and bureaucrats that are making a mess for everyone are some of the most highly schooled people on the planet.

A degree doesn’t make a person smart. A license doesn’t make a person a good driver either.

The keys to what people really need are not nearly as many or detailed as we’re pretending. They do need to be really well managed.

God in His Book says ‘Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom.’
And, 'The fool says in his heart, " There is no God." ’

Many of the most “educated” who are inventing and running these programs, by this true standard, are fools who have not even entered the kindergarten of wisdom.

It talks about how, in what is generally regarded as better years in terms of economic disparity and equity - putting race aside - such as the 50’s, people were proud to work for the government. Harvard grads would take low paying jobs because it was a point of pride. Also because the wage gaps weren’t as great, so you weren’t giving up as much. And government was much smaller, and generally worked better.

When we started glorifying the rich, pushed the idea greed is good, blamed the government for everything bad, and unable do anything right…de-regulated the financial sector… that is when the culture started to change.

All of those ideas, started under Reagan, and every Republican and many Democrats, bought into that BS. It finally stated to change after the Great Recession…

40+ years later, here we are.

I have zero problem with vitamin supplements being part of govcare.

Very few people need vitamins, if they have a proper, balanced diet.

Nearly all of the billions of dollars of vitamins sold…are literally pissed down the drain.

Carter did start the part about the Fed. Not the other stuff I mentioned.

Education is the center of a wheel, which has spokes that allow an individual to choose what ever direction in life they’d prefer to follow. The rest is simply a positive result.

There also needs to be a threat to any teacher or educator for cheating in this, with jail time.
