   Yup, believe it or not, once again good ole’ Jeb “Jed” Bush corroborates his numbskull brother George W’s superior intellect ~
   
   While Jeb and his buddies in the oil business still receive BILLIONS in Federal Subsidies, he recently stated he is "UNSURE" if we need to spend millions on WOMEN’s HEALTHCARE ~ Yes, believe it or not, this imbecile actually said this ~
   
   I and many other Americans are astonished at his lack of connectivity with the American people, not to mention his Severe Deficiency in Compassion & Commitment to women and their well-being ~ Unbelievable ~ This bored, quasi-conscious millionaire looking for something to do was finished before he started anyway ~

      No, according to the L.A. Times he said this:
      
      “You could take dollar for dollar — although I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues — but if you took, dollar for dollar, there are many extraordinary fine organizations, community health organizations, that exist, federally sponsored organizations, to provide quality care for women on a variety of health issues,” Bush continued, speaking to the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville.
      
      The context surrounding this was a question concerning de-funding PPA.
      
      And from this you got; "...he recently stated he is "UNSURE" if we need to spend millions on WOMEN’s HEALTHCARE ~ Yes, believe it or not, this imbecile actually said this ~..."
      
      I didn't even know you could get there from here.

         You just corroborated my point ~ Yes, Jeb Bush said the following "Although i'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's healthcare" ~ This suggests he would propose 1 million, 1 thousand, or even nil on this critically important issue, but in his opinion, millions is way out of line ~
         
         Jeb is explicitly expressing his un-willingness to spend millions, which is a drop in the proverbial bucket, on women's health isssues ~  Therefore, it means he is reluctant to finance women's healthcare, just like all other conservatives ~

            A man could get dizzy following that trail. I still don't see how you got here from there.
            
            Why no mention of the context of the statement? Is the conversation or event surrounding your, (first inaccurate, and later incomplete) quote harmful to the power of your statement?
            
            You said he said `millions` when in fact he said `half-a-billion`
            
            Then you extrapolated that to really mean he could say "...1 million, 1 thousand, or even nil..."
            
            Like they asked Ol' Joe, "Say it ain't so!"  Well it's not so. He did not say "Although i'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's healthcare" ... funded by China. Or "Although i'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's healthcare" ... taken out of the budget. Or "Although i'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's healthcare" ... contracted to one supplier.
            
            But, we wouldn't know that from your blazing rhetoric. We wouldn't know that he wasn't talking about women's healthcare in general.
            
            And we wouldn't know that he was talking about de-funding Planned Parenthood to the tune of half-a-billion dollars. A sentiment that might no be as alien or repulsive to some, as it appears to be to you.
            
            No worries, context is sorta like facts, and I already know they aren't that important to a fiery declaration.

               It's irrelevant as to the context, Jeb Bush is questioning the amount of money we SHOULD spend on Women's Health Care which is idiodic when the real answer is "We should spend whatever it takes to keep women healthy" ~

               So here's the score so far ~ "Billions" of our money to oil companies is OK by Jeb but he is unsure about what should be spent on Women's Health Issues ~ I guess he needs more time to think about that one ~ Don't worry though, women have plenty of time while this numbskull decides what he THINKS should be allocated to our mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces, and of course grandmothers ~

      The only thing I can agree with you on in this is that Jeb suffers from what his older brother did. He is not quick on his feet nor does he express himself well (other than Georgey Porgey ducking flying shoes). Maybe it was a Freudian slip or brain fart we won't know as he cleaned it up very quickly later on. He has done that before as did his brother. Who can forget the famous "shame on me" flub Georgey Porgey made.
      
      My question is why do you feed into these things? Is it the want to destroy instead of understand? You are led off into a series of arguments that make no sense to defend. Did Jeb mean what he said as you understand it? He has made flubs before so how does that relate? What of his speech in Chicago? Does he have a knack for mixing up the facts and names? Do you even know?

            It looks like you may have things a little confused, (or at least backwards), concerning that $3.50 pp number.
            
            Your perspective on this will be interesting I am sure, but regarding your allocation logic I went searching for current Fed. spending on Women's health care costs.
            
            Too much work to find a consolidated number, but in the search of Federal, Federally sponsored, and Federally supported Women's Healthcare, I encountered programs with a billion here, and programs with billions there. Community program grants in the tens and hundreds of millions. etc. etc.
            
            You could find the same info yourself if interested, but by the time my calculator was hitting 10 or 11 digits I figured that was enough background to conclude that the exclusion of one program (PPA) expenditure of half-a-billion would, in the worst case, (by your method), be a reduction of women's healthcare spending by your $3.50, (assuming every woman went to a PPA clinic) - not a representation of total healthcare spending per woman.
            
            So, what service will be lost for want of that $3.50?
            
            Now I know that is a simplistic way of looking at it. I am sure PPA gives a lot of important services to women and value for our tax dollars -  but it is not the total of Fed. Women's healthcare expenditures, as it appears your logic assumes.
            
            Which, by the way, seems a pretty naive and telling assumption at that. To assume the US government that you are so proud of would only spend $3.50 per women for their healthcare.
            
            No wonder you are so upset about PPA possibly losing their funding.
            
            ps. Many of the articles searched mentioned the coverage and benefits now available to women via  ACA participation, and medicaid expansion. PPA uses insurance billing for all costs covered, and if the ACA is the great coverage it is being touted as, then maybe there is redundancy in the PPA half-billion support.

               Jed Bush clearly stated in unambiguous terms that he wasn't sure if we needed to spend half a billion dollars on Women's Health Care ~ Half a Billion I believe equals 500 Million ~ A conservative total number of women in the United States would be roughly 150 Million ~ By my calculation, this would equate to a total of roughly $3.50 potentially spent on each American Women's Health Care ~ A number which is apparently unacceptable, debatable, and atrocious according to mathmatical genius Jed Bush ~
               
               Even if you reduce the total number of American Women to say 20 Million you are still spending a mere $20 or $30 per woman which would certainly  make Jeb hang himself by the beer soaked testicles from the nearest oil well ~

She approached the woman and offered the directions to the city's welfare office. Then, Mrs D. took $20 out of Mr. R.'s pocket. She needed to keep $15 for administrative fees and then she gave $5.00 to the poor woman.

      Nice try colorfulone but that's completely Untrue & an Un-realistic scenario ~ Ridiculous Actually ~
      
      First of all, Mr. Republican would never offer the homeless man a job considering he does not have a RESIDENCE ~ A typical roadblock toward employment ~ Secondly, the homeless man might be enduring mental health issues ~
      
      Thirdly, if you think the majority of republicans would offer this man in desperation a JOB, or show the least bit of compassion, you're definately out of touch with REALITY and need to move to Planet Pluto with the Rand Paul's of the Earth ~
      
      This scenario does NOT happen in real life for good reason, and that is republicans simply don't care, and if they did, I guess we would have solved the homeless problem by now right?
      
      It's a complicated situation, but during the interum of solving it, we need to provide good homes to EVERYONE living on the street regardless of the cost ~

            You may understand what a baby is, but of course that wasn't the question, was it?  I'll repeat it for you: "Do you know what an "anchor baby" is"?  And no, the term is not offensive to the "majority" of Americans; only those that wish to spin political rhetoric into an emotional issue rather than a rational one.   Most people also recognize the reasons for the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment and understand how it is being suborned to create masses of anchor babies.  They also want it stopped.
            
            Sorry, but the current fad to try and indicate ancestoral heritage in a statement or current citizenship is just that; a fad without a lot of meaning.  The vast majority of people have ONE national citizenship, not multiple ones. 
            
            If you think Jeb has ever indicated a reluctance to fund health care, you need to produce a quote from him.  And not one that says we need to fund it, just perhaps not at the levels it is now.  There is a difference in the two, you know, in spite of your rants that they are identical.
            
            Yes, there is a rant and rave here, but it is not coming from conservatives.  It's coming from a socialist that finds it necessary to grossly spin, exaggerate  and distort anything a conservative has to say without regard to the truth.  (You cannot find even a single "HUGE monetary taxpayer gift to the wealthy", let alone multiple ones).

                  Of course there is no breach - that's the point.  There is, however, a gross breach in the original purpose of the amendment, and that, too, is the point.  Sad that the liberal base cannot see it (more likely don't WANT to see it because ignoring it buys votes for them), but trust me - it's there and in spades.

                        And no, social security and medicare are not the charity programs of the socialist.  They are paid for by specific payments from every workers wage, dedicated to paying for their own entitlement after retirement.  Had the funds not been stolen by liberals for their pet projects to buy votes, and intelligently invested instead, SS payments could easily be doubled to every person getting them.  Maybe it paid for "Women's Health Care" instead of going back to the person for their own retirement.

                        Anchor babies: What liberals try to gloss over is that it is a massive problem.  As much as 10% of babies born in the US are "anchor babies", instantly giving parents the right to collect charity.  In fact, 71% of illegals with children (as opposed to 39% of citizen households with children) collect such charity, and the cost is enormous to the rest of the country.  Nor does this include the cost of schooling, health care, etc.

      I needn't prove anything; you have made the assertion they are all thieves and must thus back it up with proof.  You do understand that, don't you?  That your assertions are not considered true without proof and that no one is expected to prove the opposite or they ARE true?

         I guess you’re just desperately trying to reduce this conversation to an exercise in semantics versus shining a bright luminous light on Jeb Bush’s admitted reluctance and or refusal as Presidential Candidate to provide Women the Proper Health Care they need and deserve while you feverishly try to defend and justify Wall Street Greed and those Swindlers who continue to ABUSE our Open Market System ~ Good Luck with that ~
         
         Even Donald Trump without hesitation "TRUMPED" Bonehead Bush by stating "Whatever it Takes" with regard to "Women's Health Care" ~
         
         "Bankrupt" also means to simply “WIPE OUT” which is exactly what idiot George W did to the massive surplus he had inherited from President Clinton ~ Bush perpetrated one of the most massive money give aways to the wealthy which of course in turn, resulted in a more “Destitute” situation for those Americans who needed assistance the most ~
         
         It’s not my job here in a chat forum to educate you wilderness, if your memory fails you just go do your own research and the facts about this moronic oil family will astonish you, or maybe not ~

            No, I'm not trying to reduce the conversation to anything; I'm trying to get you to support your assertion that JB wants to end women's health care, that GW gave monetary gifts to wall street tycoons and that the country was bankrupt during the GW presidency.  You've made the statements but steadfastly refuse to provide anything supporting them.  The obvious conclusion is that you've presented falsehoods as factual and that matches my memory of the time then and now.
            
            Nowhere in the Wikipedia definition do I see anything about "WIPE OUT", for instance, yet you still claim we were bankrupt.  Still making up definitions while labeling GW as an "idiot" and "moron", which he definitely was not (or do you need a definition of those terms as well?).  Just more far left rhetoric, and obviously false rhetoric at that.  One of us seemingly needs education, but at least I CAN google a dictionary definition.  Now, had you listed specific tycoons, and their illegal actions, I would go along with you as there are thieves in every branch of life.  But you didn't - you said "Wall Street", (and now "wealthy"), indicating everyone in those categories.
            
            Perhaps if you left the loaded words and negative connotations alone and tried to just present facts instead of arguments from your own emotions? And, maybe, just those "facts" you can support?  I do suspect the conversation would instantly become a lot more meaningful, for I have no interest in your imaginative theories or personal definitions.

               Jeb "Jed" Bush with hs own crooked incompetent mouth said "He's not sure we need to spend millions on Women's Health Issues" ~ Indicating explicitly that millions of dollars is too much money to help women maintain optimum health ~ Even Donald Trump is compassionate on this vitally important issue ~
               
               I believe the total amount George W, Jeb's numbskull brother, gave away was 1. 2 TRILLION in surplus left to him by President Clinton, this treasure was gifted primarily to the wealthiest 1% & Wall Street / Big Oil Buddies while way too many Americans wallow in a destitute situation which is unacceptable to Progressive Democrats ~

                  One more time Alternative Prime and then you're on your own.  From your very own posts:
                  
                  "In reality, Jeb has clearly articulated his “RELUCTANCE” to fund Women’s Health Care and or Issues"
                  "In addition, I'd like to hear her opinion about Jeb's reluctance and or refusal to embrace and or fund Women's Health Care"
                  "Actually wilderness, the Federal Budget is and should be unlimited when refering to Women's Health Care"
                  "Jeb Bush is not interested in ensuring adequate Health Care for Women"
                  "The fact that Woman's Health Care is one of the most important issues of our time and "Capping Funds" directed toward  this effort would be absolutely unacceptable "
                  "Jeb "Jed" Bush is uninterested in taking care of Americans"
                  "We should spend whatever it takes to keep women healthy"
                  
                  Pretty obvious conclusion: JB is smart enough to recognize that there is not unlimited funds for any project, and said so.  AP isn't, and twists JB's words to try and claim JB wants zero Women's health care expenditures - an obviously false statement based on the equally obviously false premise that there are unlimited funds for his pet projects.  Try again, AP, and try very hard to get it right.  Stop the innuendo, the connotative and false descriptions ("crooked", "incompetent" and even "explicitly" as that is a gross exaggeration of what was said).  Understand for just once that all the compassion in the world does not produce dollar trees growing on every street corner; understand that funding for ANY project is limited and priorities for EVERY project must be set at something less than 100%.
                  
                  
                  
                  You can believe whatever you wish as to a trillion dollars GWB gave to Wall street and big oil, but until you can produce canceled checks or similar evidence your beliefs fall far short of knowledge.  You can even pretend that Clinton produced a surplus, but when the debt grew every year it isn't hard to show it never happened.  Pretending that your belief IS knowledge is foolish in the extreme.
                  
                  
                  
                  Googling "bankrupt" produces the following:
                  bank·rupt
                  ˈbaNGkˌrəpt/Submit
                  adjective
                  1. (of a person or organization) declared in law unable to pay outstanding debts.
                  "the company was declared bankrupt"
                  synonyms:    insolvent, failed, ruined, in debt, owing money, in the red, in arrears, overleveraged, in receivership; informalbust, belly up, broke, cash-strapped, flat broke
                  "the company was declared bankrupt"
                  2. completely lacking in a particular quality or value.
                  "their cause is morally bankrupt"
                  synonyms:    bereft of, devoid of, empty of, destitute of; completely lacking in, without, in need of, wanting
                  "this government is bankrupt of ideas"
                  
                  Not until you get to the verb do we find even a synonym that comes close to "wiped out", and as I recall that was the third term you tried to pass off as meaning "bankrupt".  And a rather poor synonym at that; it's hard to be "wiped out" with a quadrillion dollars of military hardware sitting around.  In any case, if you check back over the legal definition I provided you will see that it means (legally) an inability to pay one's debts; something that has never happened to this country.  The only countries it HAS happened to are socialist leaning ones and we aren't that far gone yet.
                  
                  "Compassionate left side"???  The only "compassion" shown (long term) is to reduce the country to third world status by continuing to pretend that there is unlimited funding and assets for their pet projects.  That and hog tying the citizen to the largesse of the politicians handing out the "free" money to anyone that wants it.  Personally I don't find much "compassion" in either goal - perhaps we have as different definition of "compassion" as we do "bankrupt"?
                  
                  As far as sources of information, that available in the rural state of Idaho seems to be much better than wherever you are; so far all you've offered is unsupported opinion rather than facts.  Thankfully, we have better than that to consider, though it does take a small amount of effort to find.

                              Have you decided where you will get the money from yet?  Certainly the US can't provide it (consider how much has been spent in the last 50 years on cancer research alone - research which must be expanded 100 fold to protect all women right now), so who will you borrow it from?  Shoot - the expense to build 1000 more universities to train a million more researchers, doctors and nurses would be beyond our ability!  Your child's future, gone up in smoke in a futile effort to protect (only) women from all possible health problems.

                        Back again?  So Jeb is unsure if we need to spend as much as we do.  How does that simple, truthful comment equate with "Jeb "Jed" Bush is uninterested in taking care of Americans"?  Or "In addition, I'd like to hear her opinion about Jeb's reluctance and or refusal to embrace and or fund Women's Health Care"?  Just because you feel that "We should spend whatever it takes to keep women healthy" all while knowing we will not succeed if we spend the entire yearly GDP every month on women's health?  Personally, I'd have to say that Jeb is right - that ALL expenditures should be examined every single year.  That's what a budget is for, you know, although I also recognize that extreme liberals view a budget as total nonsense - there is always enough for whatever they deem important even if it has to be borrowed from our children.
                        
                        We see that in the statement that ""WHATEVER IT TAKES" to help women PERIOD is the CORRECT answer" irregardless of the cost in lives, hunger, or anything else.  We don't need to help Katrina victims, we don't need to fight wild fires, we don't need to rebuild after a tornado - put it all into women's health care.  Forget the military (no one will ever attack the twin towers) and end WIC.  Stop vaccinations and school lunches - stop all education everywhere and put the money into women's health care.  Halt all veterans benefits (unless they are female) and quit providing low cost housing.  "Whatever it takes" to ensure all women are 100% healthy at all times. 
                        
                        R I I I G H T!  It's the liberal way!  (Until the economy fails and we ALL deteriorate into third world conditions, anyway.)

                              Baloney.  What you demand - total health care for all women - cannot be provided with the total GDP of this country.  It can't be supplied with the total GDP of the world, for just women in this country. 
                              
                              You set the limit - infinite funding - now where will you get it?  Or will you back off the ridiculous statement of "whatever it takes" and put some priorities on other things as well?  And when you do, will you also be honest enough to recognize the JB is doing the exact same thing?

                                    Until we have infinite knowledge about the human body and all biological activities that could affect it (and we haven't even made a dent here) it most certainly will take infinite resources to maintain perfect health for all women.  Pretending otherwise is foolish as it is a given that the 10 trillion mentioned earlier won't even provide all the research necessary let alone the actual care.  Indeed, the "Billions" you mention are already being spent and we don't even approach your lofty goal of perfect health for all women.

   Totally worth repeating:
   "... the far left (not "progressive", but just the socialist far left) does indeed have a whole raft of charity programs to enslave the people to the party.  It is masked in such statements as "You want the children to DIE!", but the end goal is to turn the people into willing, mindless slaves." wilderness
   
   … Supremely excellent point: 
   "… social security and medicare are not the charity programs of the socialist.  They are paid for by specific payments from every workers wage, dedicated to paying for their own entitlement after retirement.  Had the funds not been stolen by liberals for their pet projects to buy votes, and intelligently invested instead, SS payments could easily be doubled to every person getting them.  Maybe it paid for "Women's Health Care" instead of going back to the person for their own retirement." wilderness
   
   Thank You, wilderness.

    This entire argument has burrowed down into the weeds in a pretty useless manner.  We have plenty of money to fund Medicare for All.  No, it won't keep everyone perfectly healthy.  Yes, it would require taking money from more than one pot (bloated defense budget, anyone?) and putting it in the health care pot.  It's simply a matter of priorities.

       Medicare is actually a birth-right and the sooner we begin granting Health Care via this program to ALL new born infants, the better off the United States will be ~ This is a Progressive Push for Comprehensive Coverage which is met with Rabid Opposition from Jeb Bush and his GOP brethren  who are beholden to insurance companies ~
       
       Of course there is money for this and other essential programs which can be procured by exactly as you mentioned, a diversion of funds from unecessary budget items ~ In addition, the bulk of funds will be extracted from new initiatives which would include compelling Wall Street and other grossly over compensated enities to contribute to the General Well Being of the "UNITED States of America" ~

             But we really ARE entitled to medicare.  We can all take out an actuarially determined amount based on what we put in.  We are indeed entitled to that, at least until the pot runs dry from liberals "redirecting" our contributions into their pet projects.

                Well, here is where I disagree with Alternative Prime. I don't think health care, or Medicare, is a birth right.  I just believe we can make a conscientious choice about how we want to spend the vast wealth that exists in this country.  That choice should be based on many things, but the most important factor should be our values.  What is most important to us?  Invading a country who didn't attack us?  Providing nourishment to those who are hungry?  Hoarding wealt?    Providing preventative health care?  Subsidizing the oil industry?  Investing in infrastructure?
                
                It's a choice, people.  Vote for those whose actions reflect your values.  You like giving your money to Exxon?  Keep voting for those who think it's a-okay.  Want to invest your money in the future of this country by sending a bright, motivated but penniless kid to college?  Vote for the one who is for that.
                
                It's all about choices.  Be proactive and stop accepting that big money has to rule everything.  Vote for those who want to dismantle Citizens United by amending the constitution to get big money out of politics.  As it stands, we barely have a fighting chance for our voices to be heard.  Take the steps to change it.  Stop with the defeatist attitude.  Stop swallowing the line that money equals freedom.  Money equals influence for those who have it.  That's not democracy, that's plutocracy.  Let's change that.

                            Yes, many conservative politicians use buzz words like "freedom" and "free market" to garner support from the masses, even though what they really mean is freedom for the rich to continue to buy influence.  This does not benefit the middle class.
