For society as a whole, we single payer countries tend to see better results. But per person, the healthcare in the US is the best. Assuming you have a good health insurance plan.
Yes, Parties are not mentioned in the Constitution. However, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton all belonged to political parties. Not to mention, Madison and Hamilton did speak about parties (factions) role within a society in the Federalists Papers. Not saying they supported them, but they knew they'd exist in a free society.
And yes, George Washington did speak about against them.
What he means is that they've tried to change the law (The ACA) through legislative means 41 times and failed each time. So they attached their failed legislation to a budget bill hoping to force it down. They failed.
He didn't vote to defund the government, he voted to end all government spending except for essential operations, including paying debt. HE voted true to his mindset and word. IF you canceled Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and reduced the military to a few special ops. teams, there would be more then enough money to stary paying off the debt and no need to default.
the internet as we know it will die and be replaced by "apps". Companies don't like that the user controls one half of the interface. Companies prefer apps because it allows them to control everything.
If something damages somebody's reputation, you better be able to show that you believed it was true or you're on the hook for libel or slander.
If only that was true.
In the US, the burden of proof is on the accuser of libel, not the defendant. Meaning you have to prove that someone knew it was false and still presented it as the truth to prove libel. This is very hard to do without a paper trail.
While funny, it does bring up a serious note. Why are programmers and for that matter any cubicle jockey required to wear "business" clothes? Does a dress shirt and tie help you work?
As a society, the US does not value education. Sure, when asked we do. But in reality, we don't. IF we did then nothing else would matter, we'd go to public libraries and educate ourselves if the education system was failing us. But we don't. The majority of kids in the US treat School like a mandatory prison sentence.
Kids that want a good education can get the worlds best right here in the US. People send their children to the US from all over to get a High School and College Education here. sad fact is most of our society doesn't want the great resources and opportunities that are right here for them. No law, teaching method, etc. is going to change that.
The American dream was to work hard in school, then work hard at your job so you can buy your own home.
When was this the American Dream? Post 1950s to Today maybe? School and Home Ownership are not what you'd call historical bedrocks of the American Dream.

"better" is a matter of opinion.

Yeah it does... It's Three Biggest offenders are: The Military, Social Security, and Medicare.
Any real spending cuts would have to come from those three sources.

You mean, if Bush hadn't reduced income by giving tax cuts to the wealth and then ramped up Defense Spending by starting Two wars.
Good luck with that. The House enjoys a 90% reelection rate.
Yeah,
You do know that Lobbyists and Polls are two ways that Congress finds out what people want? You pretty much jsut said:
They only cave when THE PEOPLE tell them to.
How are you surprised that he voted no?

Another great reason to hold Presidential Primaries all on he same day.
And the tone is "I'm going to hang myself with this noose?"
everyone can attend more meetings - where all the real work gets done!

#3 - So the working poor shouldn't have kids?
Yeah it is. Which is why school should spend a lot more time on this type of math and less on Algebra II and Trig/Geo.
OR the fact that the Federal Government doesn't run Education in the US. But Thousands of local districts all set their own rules and standards.

This this this this this...
We need to focus less on trying to get more then the 60% to vote and focus much more on getting that 60% to show up for Primaries.
What about people with OCD? Who cares about them?
GO to the horse track. $2 bets are common, so they use $2 bills for change.
The difference is scarcity.
Haven't' you taken a statistics class? You present the information in the way that supports your point. You don't give it in additional ways!
Yeah, Basic Math/Algebra I type math. You don't need Calc or Trig to balance your income vs. spending.
