Of course, it's the only other socialist statements , other than yours ,on this thread.

You can't expect polices that work for countries with populations the size of California to work in a country of 350,000,000 . You sure can't expect anything that's offered as a freebie to be sustainable in a country that is pushing for open boarders.
There is a difference between a hand up and a hand out . We grew up in a different time when we were taught to work hard and make our own way so we some how feel embarrassed to ask for a helping hand in time of need so many today feel that they are entitled to a hand out . I know that as parents and mentors we share in the blame for what is now taking place in our country . Did we let our youth down or ourselves I feel we let both down and are seeing the results of the seeds we allowed to be planted , at this time coming to fruition

Why not expect it to work? How many have relied on their social security payments (meager in many cases, I know) up until now, successfully over the years? I agree that it won't work here but I say that it has nothing to do with population. Who can deny the waste I mentioned? And who mentioned anything about freebies? I'm talking about countries where there is mandatory military service. If you purely call free education and healthcare, freebies, then their freebies have created an average citizen that is way more educated and healthier than the average American, as a fact. No need to take my word for it.
Sorry if I made you think I enlisted in our great armed forces . I had a choice many years ago. Stay home and care for my parents, or enlist and see the world. I chose the former. We play the hands we are dealt. I would pick up one of my ARs and fight today, cane and all, if my country asked that of me, but at the age of good health and youth, i just signed up for the draft instead for reasons beyond my control.
3 strikes and your outa there, for civilians in need of help . I didnt even get a tip foul when i tried to get disability. Dont guess i blame them too much. They can't look into my past and know that asking for a handout is the last thing I'd want to do. That I prided myself on doing the work of 2 or 3 men just because it felt good to pull more than my weight. I probably even downplayed my disability because I didnt want to show weakness. Whatever......we are getting by ok now. My son chose my path ,works 3 jobs now and skipped college. He is still considering the service and I encourage him to do so. My 13 yr old daughter actually asked me today, what I think about her joining the service. I told her I think she would be great at it !

Well written and I completely agree with all of this and I know fully, that there are MANY governments that have more socialism vs capitalism or where thugs rule, and have not served their citizens well at all.
One thing I'd add about your example of folks coming here for treatment and is of interest to all, is CO's recent legislation which allows the purchase of medications from outside the US. I don't know if it is Canada/Mexico exclusively, but if it helps the middle class average guy, I'm in.

Sorry quoted the wrong post.
In so many case' where the meds from other countries is so much cheaper then we can get it here in the states is because their government subsidizes the cost of the meds as well as the pharmaceutical companies sell at a lower cost to these countries and take advantage of our insurance companies and our middle income people there are programs in the U.S. that help people with their meds I see people with 3 or 4 kids that pay a dollar per prescription because they aren't married but their kids father is standing right beside them in line . In recent times people have ordered on line from unknown sources and gotten meds that weren't med at all . The FDA may be doing something to keep us safe from our selves .
Kinda figured you did
As long as the meds are what they say they are, I'm in too. Popping a pill from someplace I dont know from people that may not like where I'm from, kinda gives me the hebbies !
Finland makes great rifles, so do some other socialist countries. Not all socialism is Cuba.
But the one the left is teeing up is . I bet Finland wont send any ships over to take a few of the 100,000 border crossers a month we get either . I can read lips, no matter which side of the mouth they are flopping on.
Hey 300whisper, I just noticed we are neighbors . I'm in Monroe County , up around the Indian Springs end . Did you ever do any business at Chucks In WR ? I worked down there for 14 yrs as the " archery guy " , but handed , I dont know, a few million guns across the counter too.
