"Fuck you X2" and "you people" you wrote. Get a grip. You talk about  anger.  Surely you kinow the psychiatric concept of displacement don't you?

I grew up Jewish, and we have a history of being a more oppressed minority than yours and a longer one.  I could detail you some of what finally dragged Roosevelt kicking and screaming into WWII after his Jewish cabinet members kept telling him about  The Holocaust, but it's widely known and you have an iPad, and an internet connection virtually everywhere you are, except when you can't get Wifi, so you can read about it if you haven't already.  

I did plenty of menial jobs as a kid, but I thought maybe my skills might be better applied at putting in chest tubes, chasing down hollow point bullet wounds, taking care of the worst imaginable trauma in an ER, and teaching CPR to EMTs in my large city so we could get modern cardiac drugs on the trucks we all wanted to use that weren't on them when they called us from 20 miles or further away from Pill Hill.  I've written multiple articles in major medical journals, but I doubt my supervisors when I was a kid were envisioning that.  

How dare you as an Asian American begin to compare any discrimination you faced to the discrimination Jews face?

A lot of us did menial jobs as kids because jobs were hard to come by in the summers.  I drove a grass cutting tractor, dug ditches, hauled 60 pound samples door to door on my back among other jobs.

During  WW II, the USA rounded up innocent Japanese families by the thousands and shipped them to internment camps. Obama has several minority members in his cabinet, and you can  look them up. His Chief of Staff Jack Lew's father came here from Poland.

Romney's Mormon Church garnered a full page article in the NY Times on  their cruel bigotry towards African  Americans. This has not stopped Mitt and Ann Romney from contributing thousands of dollars to the Mormon Church, and Romney has not uttered a word urging the Mormon Church to stop this pattern of cruel explicit discrimination towards African Americans and other minorities.

The budgets proposed by Ryan and Romney have become the laughing stock of economists and I doubt you've read them, because your business sense would keep you from  wanting to be associated with them.  Jeff Sachs, an economist and Nobel Prize Winner is regularly on "Morning Joe" an NBC show controlled by former conservative Congressman Joe Scarborough. Paul Krugman and Ezra Klein have taken RR apart regularly.  The tax cuts for the uber rich raise the deficit by 4 trillion bucks.  I want to hear you explain that away, but don't embarass yourself.

I'm taking your "fuck yous" and your charges that "you same assholes denied me employment" when you were a kid, with a grain of salt and think you're misplacing your anger on me,  because I was not among those "assholes." I would have given you a job had it been my decision, and I don't believe you remember me in your way.  The "you people" is prejudicial, and it doesn't apply to me in any way, shape or form.  I've never discriminated against any ethnic group, and certainly not against any Asian group who were represented as my friends in the neighborhood where I grew up.  A lot of us fought battles, and you can't possibly know what battles other people fought by meeting them for a few brief hours.  Hopefully we'll meet again.  I consider myself a friend to you, and if you needed something done in a city you visit from  time to time, I would be a reliable help in getting it done.

You claim to be a world traveler to an extent, but it has escaped you that we are the only industrialized nation that doesn't provide health care to everyone.  We should have single payer, and I don't have time and space here to distinguish socialism from the ACA for you.  I haven't lied, and I resent that implication as much as you resent it.

You should be ashamed as a student of economy to associate yourself with the totally whackjob economic plans of Ryan and Romney that clusterfuck everything else so they can double down on defense budget.  And you aren't going to end up paying for anyone's healthcare but your own and whoever else you choose to help that I'm certain of.

I've read Ryan and Romney's budgets extensively, and they are ludicrous and moronic, and I know from the statements that they've made over the weekend they think people  like me must not know much about medicine or medical economics, or read. Ryan and Romney represent the most egregious cascade of total lies I've ever seen, and collosal medical stupidity. I'd venture to say I read exponentially more than both of them whether it's print media, fiction or non-fiction.
Romney is promising $6-$7 trillion in cuts over 10 years without touching Medicare or SS and while increasing defense spending.


Here's some reading for you:

Romney’s budget plan is a fantasy
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/08/14/romneys-budget-plan-is-a-fantasy/

"Consider what Romney has promised. By 2016, he says federal spending will be below 20 percent of GDP, and at least 4 percent of that will be defense spending. At that point, he will cap federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, meaning it can never rise above that level.

All that’s hard enough. Romney will have to cut federal spending by between $6 and $7 trillion over the next decade to hit those targets. As my colleague Suzy Khimm has detailed, those budget promises already require cuts far in excess of what even Paul Ryan’s budget proposes.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities indulged this idea back in May. If Social Security and Medicare are spared from cuts, then to get federal spending under 20 percent of GDP while holding defense spending at 4 percent of GDP, “all other programs — including Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, education, environmental protection, transportation, and SSI — would have to be cut by an average of 40 percent in 2016 and 57 percent in 2022.”

Consider what the Romney campaign, then, is saying: If Romney is elected, then by his third year in office, every single federal program that is not Medicare, Social Security, or defense, will be cut, on average, by 40 percent. That means Medicaid, infrastructure, education, food safety, road safety, the postal service, basic research, foreign aid, housing subsidies, food stamps, the Census, Pell grants, the Patent and Trademark Office, the FDA — all of it has to be cut by, on average, 40 percent. If Romney tried to protect any particular priority, it would mean all the others have to be cut by more than 40 percent.

That’s not even remotely plausible. The consequences would be catastrophic. The outcry would be deafening. And Romney has shown no stomach for selling such severe cuts."

Compared to Ryan, Romney wants to spend much more on defense, and much less on everything else

"According to those principles, Romney would increase defense spending to $7.9 trillion between 2013 and 2022, says the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. By comparison, Ryan would spend $5.7 trillion on core defense over the same period—only 72 percent of what Romney wants to spend."
