DDG claims over 400 sources. How is just having a crawler going to be better than that?

Wouldn't a crawler allow you to remove potential bias from the results because you're getting source data on your own?

I know what I'm about, son.

Its a scam when they say we can cut revenue (lower your taxes) and still provide the same services. Lowering expenses would be great, but the services that get cut tend to be the ones most people care about because they're things the "free market" will not provide.

What would be nice is if there would be a way to have a discussion with what services the government should provide. Then they have to be funded.

As to healthcare, Ds reached across the aisle and put in a while slew of R modifications and still had no support from the Rs. We still pay 3-4x for healthcare compared to other western countries. What bothers me is that whenever healthcare is brought up the Rs fight it by saying taxes will go up. That's the wrong thing to focus on, because the total healthcare cost is what matters. If I pay 5% in taxes for medical programs plus 5% for insurance premiums, and 5% for medical spending then my taxes going up to 12% of my income means overall I spend less on healthcare. But a big change here is on how much things cost. Any single payer tends to address that by the single payer saying how much will be paid. But our current model could work with restrictions on how much can be charged, or what profit margins are acceptable and an accurate model for how to present costs/ revenue. But that again would get the cry from the Rs as overbearing regulations and hurting the "free market". So, if the governmemt needs to provide a mimimum medical care to everyone in the country, how do you suggest its accomplished?

Lastly, you're right under ACA premiums have gone up significantly. However, what they've gone up is less than they went up in the same period before ACA came into effect.
