Dem senators unveil expanded public option for health insurance

But I think the larger point that we are the richest country

Really.  Thanks to the republicunts we'll soon be running $1 trillion per year deficits.  How long is that sustainable?

It's not that and with the rapid deregulation and the money being thrown at the military industrial complex with the failing infrastructure and not to mention the NAFTA renegotiations to give public infrastructure over to large banks... and the tax reform and banking deregulation and the stagnate wage growth in this country.... were only relevant on the world stage because we have the best damn fight force money can buy. And yet all the money being wasted and the economy with it's fake growth is going to crash the economy again... and with bills and democrats being as worthless trash as they are they are working with republicans on bills that for the american taxpayers to bail out the same people that will crash the economy again... we have all this money we can save money by giving people insurance and what's left over can go into the military budget or better yet giving that money to homeless veterans we magically have forgotten about. simply put where a nation led by people who people who left is in a proverbial hot car and left to die that's where we are now. We have been led by leaders who simply played on our emotions and ignorance and it's true for both sides democrat and republican it's just democrats know how to put on a good show.
