How conservative are the conservatives?

Increasing the cost of medical care is not the same as going back to the status quo ante. Medical care used to be cheaper!

Well, first of all, the conservative platform you outlined* was what generally existed in the US prior to about 1970, and we were doing just peachy.

@John_Mace

Most of what was posted is either not part of the platform, or was part of the status quo in the 60s.

So, you can do the math if you want. Most of it is either BS (ie, not part of the GOP platform) or was part of the status quo in the 60s. At any rate, it would not ruin the US, and it certainly wouldn’t be the best way to ruin the US.

n.b.: I do not favor that platform, but at least let’s get it right rather posting a bunch of BS.

As I pointed out, most of that “platform” is not “what we had” in contradiction to your claim.
