    I look forward to the howls of dissent from all of the free marketeers and deficit fetishists.

    If it doesn't tax ordinary people, only corporations, then Bernie's statement is incorrect. Why is that difficult for you?

    and Fuck off about FF. It's hardly my fault if you are unclear in your responses. I asked a specific question, then found and posted the answer. Now you want to come at me like I'm posting shit from libertarian websites that say liberals are the source of all world problems.

    Like Bernie I would have preferred UHC to this too.

    But this is a definite strategic issue for the US going on to the future. It's a big win. And hey, it might even help some of those shithole states.

    We have far too many areas where we are reliant on external providers for critical components of the US economy and military.

    Messy, imperfect and does nothing to address other critical issues, but better than not doing anything to assure a supply of critical strategic material. Our system of government in microcosm. :clyde:

    Remind me again which nation this hurts? Can't be China. We've been assured that Biden's owned by the Chinese. So, who's it hurting?
