Economic Denial

[Cathode]

I’d like to see how Germany reorients its economy after the Conservative government takes over. Watch and see mode. They may start cutting social programs like our own Dear Leader is doing.

So billions in waste and fraud to foreign countries is social programs.

Try honest opinions from an honest perspective.

You are off in the weeds mate.

You are filling your head with hateful and dishonest media.

I’m asking serious questions. So start to think about what you say prior to accusing someone next time all right.

The other thing the US needs to do is disconnect health insurance from employment. Lose your job, lose your insurance!! What are they trying to do, keep rats on a treadmill running in fear?

People can get fired frivolously as well. Here we have unfair dismissal laws, where employers have to show proper grounds or face penalties, and restitution.

Only 2 weeks vacation, it’s not enough. Here people can really use their holidays.

We get 4 weeks paid holidays here and long service leave after 7 years to 10 years, which gives you 3 months at full pay and 6 months at half pay depending. But you still accrue annual leave whilst on long service leave. And take long service leave in instalments.
Or you can cash in your long service leave if you need to.

You can also accrue huge sick leave if you don’t use it. Many people don’t even need to use their income protection insurance if they get a serious condition.

Americans seem over worked, and have less of a safety net. Just a few tweaks like this could make a big difference I reckon.

I’m retired and so therefore my income rests on Social Security (which I paid into for years) and now I pay my medial health care via Medicare which I already pay into. There are no free lunches here. Biden put a ceiling level on a few cancer drugs and diabetic medications …the idea was to make them affordable but Trump has removed those caps. Now the insurance companies have raised the price levels of these medications and taken away allot of the poor peoples Medicade rendering medical attention impossible for them. And with that , in most cases their food care expense allotments. This does not adversely effect the well off who can afford price increases and rich peoples insurance. I am working class & retired and in my old age with my own healthcare issues along with my wife’s stage 4 cancer so we are struggling. It’s interesting that the American taxpayer provides subsidies to these Insurance companies and health care centers so you might assume that we would get affordable healthcare…only, don’t assume.
