Panic Attack? You Can't Be Serious

There can be no panic attack.  Those are for wimps, sissyboys and wankers ... I thought.

Escitalopram is booted into a place of anonymous ignominy, much like Jeb Bush and his aspiration to be President.  Again, it's an SSRI psychotropic medication and it's dangerous.  Doctors may get all Marcus Welby to tell you the stuff is alright.  It isn't, not ever.

Note:  there is some relief from the effects of it wearing off.  So, a lot of what has been happening has been artificial and the causes of that are being eliminated, with some success.


This year has been good for discovery of Things Which Are Really Not Worth a Shit such as Escitalopram, GOP candidates for President, or painful rectal itch.

Although I do not have a painful rectal itch, we suspect many of the GOP presidential candidates have a raging case of it.  That painful rectal itch is why many in the GOP don't think logically.

For example, the Sanders budgetary changes are reviewed and the first words coming to their lips are, "How will you pay for it?"


So, to review, when did you ever hear the GOP ask ...

Woe is me, woe is me, how will I pay for multi-billion dollar aircraft carrier?

Know what?  I have never heard that.

Lordy, Lordy, how will I ever pay half a trillion dollars for an F-35 program?

Nope, never heard that either.  We do concede it could happen, we just never heard it.

How will they pay for wars, foreign invasions, miscellaneous CIA adventures they don't even tell us.

You know, I never heard them mention the cost of any of these things.


While a panic attack may be dismissed as something for wimps, sissyboys or wankers, there's little worry in my mind over becoming such a thing.

There's no possible way I could ever in my life be more of a wimp than someone who thinks he needs more military hardware than the aggregate of the next fifteen countries in the world ... before he feels safe.

Pro tip on that, Dagwood:  a wanker like that will never feel safe.


Paying for Sanders' programs is no trouble at all ... once you get the GOP to stop wasting 50% of the budget on the military.  What unbelievable pansies.

Even no military doesnt save enough to pay for Sanders ideas.

They work in most other developed nations so I see no reason to believe they won't work here. As always, the biggest problem is the displaced workers from defense plants but that problem exists for an enormous number of kids anyway. These things aren't being addressed and instead we get the inane Fiorina / Trump sideshow. We know what direction the bomber kids leads so I really don't see any other play.

Not a problem at all as there's no disagreement in it. In Silas Socialism, a fair profit is all part of it. The only insistence is that it be fair. I have no doubt he can deliver what he says if the people get behind him to make it happen. When the only problem with the list is what if it costs too much, that tells me it's an exceptionally good list.

Even if you include payments to countries to like us on facebook The total military budget is on about 20%. Interest on National debt is the totally wasted money at about7-8%
So his programs can only be paid for if you increase the debt since the cost is greater than the entire military budget

Even if you only reduced military to same dollars as China at about 125b That would save 400b but Sanders plan costs 1.8trillion per year for 10 years. Even if you quadruple tax of the top 25% of taxpayers you cant come close to paying for his plans
Do want you want just pay cash

They don't pay for the military expenses now. I remember how much the Affordable Care Act would cost but it doesn't cost anything since there's no public option in it but there wasn't since the very beginning. I hear lots of numbers but I don't hear any complaints what it costs to build submarines or what anyone really gets out of them.

Affordable Care is costing a fortune
I dont care if they build subs I said cut the military by 80% but that still doesnt pay for his plans.
It is all well and good to throw out cool plans but someone has to pay And I have heard no plan from any politician that pays for iteself witgout increasing the debt.

ACA alone is about 130B a year taxpayer cost and still leaves over 10% of the country unisured
The government cant get anything right.
The Raven spends $140 per month for garbage coverage mandated by ACA
With his new job he has excellent coverage for about 1/3 that Admittedly his employer pays another 1/3 or more but it is now real insurance.
Why everyone thinks ACA works I have no idea The insurance and healthcare industry love it as thier profits are through the roof

You are correct The national debt is increased for 2015 by about 600B or roughly the budget for the military.
So eliminating it just balances the budget.
Sanders wants to increase the budget by 1.9 trillion per year. Where does that money come from. Cant be the military I just eliminated it to balance the budget.
Just as Obama increased the debt ny more than every prior president combined.
Sanders would do thr same and In 10 years national debt would be 38trillion. Or about 12 times annual revenue. A fiscally impossible situation to resolve
Or to put it in laymans term a middle class worker at 50k would owe 600k will no assets to balance and at an interest rate of 6% would only have 14k left after debt payments to live
on

In my example by 2015 The interest on the debt would surpass the % of the budget presently used for the military
Someone put out a plan that is viable. I havent seen one yet

Unclear how ACA costs anything when people pay for their own insurance. Maybe it buys insurance for some people who could not afford it but I'm not familiar with anything like that.

I really don't believe the numbers people quote regardless of the sources. People throw about billions and trillions but it really doesn't faze me when the cost is obvious and extreme in failing to make an economy based on the productivity of the people rather than the manufacture of war toys.

Unknown said...

I'm still not seeing why it costs the taxpayer anything as it seems any money goes to insurance companies the taxpayer sends it.

There's a lot of hopelessness about in thinking everyone will die if America changes what it is doing in any way. For me, it's the other way around in thinking there is hope so long as people get down to doing something about it, other than continuing the status quo.

Just because you don't believe the numbers doesn't change them. and just because you don't understand how ACA costs the taxpayer doesn't make the bills go away

Unknown said...

It's not a matter of understanding but rather validation. I require validation for any claim I make as well.

Anonymous said...

My numbers come from the GAO. and factcheck.org

Unknown said...

Must review further as I've been looking for validation and, thus far, have not found anything substantive (in terms of huge increases to the budget).

There's still no logical reason it should cost anything unless it's buying insurance for people it said at the outset it would not cover (e.g. public health option).

I assume that you are overlooking the expansion of Medicaid and medicare to include an additional 15million people who cant afford insurance on the Healthcare Marketplace

Unknown said...

Is the premise it will cost a trillion dollars to insure them and that these people get no health care now.

Anonymous said...

These are previously unisured people. But I dont know the cost per individual to cover under medicare. But there are huge paperwork costs for running the program. And revenue for non compliance are not as high as projected which also increases the taxpayer share

Unknown said...

Any government application will have big costs because there are so many fake make-work jobs in them and that goes back to the Pentagon as well as there will not be any difference in all the baggage which makes useless overhead in their accounting either. It's all the same. Bureaucrats do shit jobs but they're the only ones boring enough to do them.
