    I’m not an economist, but I bet if we cut the military budget to match that of ANY OTHER developed nation we could manage the healthcare costs.

    We don’t require 8x the military budget of anywhere else on Earth

    Want a compromise? Sure, let’s restrict our budget to the combined top competing THREE NATIONS.

    (on checking a couple sources, the math even checks out, and we’d STILL have the most powerful military in the world)

    It’s not that complex. One old-fashioned fireside chat will do it, it’s pretty obvious. We have DECADES of universal healthcare data and results, it’s not some new, radical, alien thing.

    Just provide Americans with real data. Presidents don’t HAVE to be babbling idiots, there’s another way!
