bump to view at home...
bumparoo for a later view...
Kid held his own and then some....She has no idea how stupid she sounded when in her own example she admits the Post Office is failing....and she wants the government to run health care?
Zack is a tough cookie and Contessa is a coward....Bump
It is a strange time in the US when the “news industry” argues with, exposes, tries to discredit citizens and works very hard to tell us what Obama really meant and why that is correct.
Strange..passing strange.
Distinctions be damned! Obama ejacualted a metaphor uing the Post Office and the MSM is going to make it work...no matter how many times they need to repeat it.
Hope he signs up.
Contessa Brewer is a pathetic lightweight......sad and embarrassing to watch.
No knock on Zach Lahn but beating 0bama or Brewer in a debate isn’t worth a college credit. Maybe a free side dish at the dorm cafeteria. ;^)
LOL. So who do we want running our health care system, the USPS or Fed/Ex, i.e., the government versus the private sector? We don’t need postal service quality health care.
You don't ask the adversary for permission you say it.
Isn’t he awesome?!? The first words out of my mouth as I watched the exchange live on Saturday were, “Blessed be the womb which bore you!!!” What a kid. I knew he had summed it all up and I knew his was the first “real” question asked about this whole mess. What a fine mind.

The Democrats think people are stupid.
HAH! Contessa got bitch-slapped again, by someone half her age.
She is a perpetual loser!
Wow. What a stupid b—— that woman is. I am so glad I stopped watching television years and years ago. I don’t need that aggravation in my life. I would do something stupid if I had to watch that sort of thing all the time.
Compare to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's 1968 remark that, "the police are not there to create disorder; the police are there to preserve disorder."
dba Obama put his foot in his mouth and this haughty airhead propaganda goose swallowed her calf to her knee.
Contessa is more than barefoot, she is S t u p i d .
Have others analyzed the Fed Ex - UPS - USPS comparison?
I have some thoughts on that:
USPS has a monopoly on non-urgent letter mail. Almost without a doubt Fed Ex and UPS or some other private sector mail service could compete successfully against them in 90% of the from-to destinations in the US. It is likely they would be able to provide better delivery speeds and even a lower cost first class stamp. I would love to see it!
That leaves the 10% or so of places people are at that would be uneconomical to service. Those could be served by a federally subsidized rural delivery service (could be contracted, by private contractors bidding for right to serve a given market), at a MUCH lower expense then today’s US Postal Service.
As the student suggested this is not a valid comparison.
Why? Because in postal delivery the costly cases are limited by geography — all really rural persons are effected, and a subsidized rural delivery solution provided to them would not increase (significantly) demand for the service.
Not so with health care. If we provide Federal health care services (which we do with the VA) people tend to overwhelm them so as to avoid the expense of private providers.
Thus private mail carriers and a government subsidized delivery service can co-exist, because the government forbids the private services to delivery regular mail thus allowing it to price at a non-competitive level, and if we opened up regular mail they would still co-exist, because we can segregate by region.
It is possible that private health care systems and public ones can co-exist, but as the experience with the VA system shows, (1) US citizens are willing to accept very substandard care in order to avoid costs. (2) Political forces to improve “free” care for some are strong at times and tend to make the government care system for some bigger or better by levying taxes on all, weakening the private market for removing paying clients, and weakening everyone for the higher tax burdens. (3) Government systems, lacking competition degrade quickly even when they start out with great vigor and energy and idealism. Viz NASA. But the costs are forever. Bad mojo.
Myself — I tell Vets avoid the VA. Go private. But people make bad choices to save money.
