5Joseph replied to 5Sam's discussion Should the United States Focus on Improving Government Efficiency?
"Yes, because I think a lot of wasteful spending is a very bad thing and puts our country more in debt, however I also think that not all departments have to be cut down. I believe that certain departments that are very similar could be conjoined and…"

5Joseph replied to 5Elle's discussion Should students have more than one open campus study hall?
"I also feel like that older students are more exposed to the work world and are therefore more responsible and have a better work ethic then the younger kids. They could be much more productive now then young kids."

5Joseph replied to 5Elle's discussion Should students have more than one open campus study hall?
"I would use this open time to potentially work, eat lunch, or work on difficult college classes. I feel like this open time is neccesary for student's success and it also helps students have more open time in order to work or make money or even…"

5Joseph replied to 5Elle's discussion Should students have more than one open campus study hall?
"I think that taking away multiple open campus study halls is a low blow to students who work hard. Especially when upperclassmen are taking college classes that require multiple study halls and are lots of work."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"I really like how you mentioned the fact of the debt of the United States. Where there are many problems causing and affecting this debt, a raise in taxes would just add to what we owe as a country and would harm our constant efforts in paying off…"

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"I agree with you, I think that the majority of the people that wouldn't mind paying the extra taxes would be those who are more wealthy than the average American, but I think as a whole we Americans probably wouldn't want an increase in our taxes…"

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"I like  how you brought in the economy, because when you look at it without digging deeper, then free healthcare looks like sunshine and rainbows, but that is completely wrong and it is actually something much deeper."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"I'm not sure how right you are on it saving money in the wrong run because I think the sheer increase of taxe prices needed to support this new system would eventually catch up to you despite how much you make."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"I agree, I also believe that this would make Americans further hate taxes and if something were to go wrong with this system then I think it could be devastating to the health of all Americans."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"Although there are many flaws to our healthcare system, it has survived almost 100 years proving how well it's been for Americans. It has overcame a great depression, an economically devastating pandemic and much more throughout the years."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"The government is known for doing this. I think that the introduction of a free healthcare system would just encourage the government to profit off the people using taxes more."

5Joseph replied to 5Joseph's discussion Should America Provide Free Healthcare?
"Great point, I see what your trying to say and I think that this another con that I didn't mention. However, I think doctor's would still get paid pretty well and it wouldn't be very likely for them to quit. I do see where you're coming from though."

5Joseph replied to 5Aubrie's discussion Should teachers be able to talk/teach about religion?

5Joseph replied to 5Jose's discussion MJ or LeBron, GOAT?

5Joseph replied to 5Jose's discussion MJ or LeBron, GOAT?
