So a kinda quick run.
Only saves 120 billion over a decade for loss of coverage of about 24 million and higher premiums.

A bill to dismantle the Affordable Care Act that narrowly passed the House this month would leave 14 million more people uninsured next year than under President Barack Obama’s health law — and 23 million more in 2026, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. Some of the nation’s sickest would pay much more for health care.
The House bill would reduce federal budget deficits by $119 billion over a decade, less than the $150 billion in savings projected in late March for an earlier version of the bill, but still substantial, Republicans said.
we spend over 600 billion a year on the military budget.

Trump won Montana by 20. The state has one Rep and before this incident the election was a toss up.
A 20 (or more) point swing since November

People should really look into Montana politics. If the Democratic Party looked at what the Montana Dem party and Bullock accomplished they'd have more blue in red states. It's hilarious. It's anti Washington but leave us alone and let us have left wing platforms by ourself. The ads Bullock ran were hilarious. Public lands. Public education. Social Security. Ended with an I stand against Barack Obama at the end. In a state trump won by 20 you'd think those wedge issues wouldn't be winning but it's how Dems manage to still win big positions in Montana. So upset I didn't get to live there and work for my buddy with the Dem Party last year.

Reinforcing my point yesterday that Fox News as we know it is a thing of the past.

I expect the pendulum to swing massively to the Democrats and they will get both Congress and the Presidency in 2020 so long as they don't run Hilldog again. If they don't use that to legalize weed I will swear vengeance against them. If they actually run a pro legalization candidate I will vote Democrat for the first time in my life and I will continue to do so until it becomes political suicide to even suggest reversing it. I can deal with their cuckoo for coco puffs economics for a while because a good economy does not do me any good or I am in prison. The benefits of legalization should counteract any economic damage they do anyways.

It's hard for me to trust Democrats have the balls to legalize after Obama wasted 8 years. At a bare minimum Obama should have got it removed from schedule 1. The basis for being schedule 1 is that a drug has no medicinal value. We have ****ing medical marijuana but it's still schedule 1. That schedule also prevents studies about weed which allows jackasses like Hillary to say "we need to wait for more studies" when she knows damn well that they can't be done until it's resecheduled.

Ah there we go again with "should"s
Agree with you 100% but this battle has been going on for over 50 years
I don't get how or why people expect things to change on a dime. Our system was purposely created to be deliberate.
If people vote for legislators that are thoughtful and progressive 2020 is a doable goal
But as long as people vote for pie in the sky long shots and Nazi's it will never happen

If the politics were right, which they aren't yet, she would jump in line as Obama did over LBGT.
Personally I see more pressing issues to spend political capital.
General health care being number 1 and education right behind it.
2020 is doable regardless the President.
Save Pence
stopping ruining peoples lives over pot is a huge issue and is an easy one to correct too

Take for granted you live in Louisiana.
What is the stance of the state Senate on Normalization ?
You seem to have the notion the head of yhe feferal ecevuyive branch has unlimited authority to dictate law.
My reasoning why education is our number two priority
Here is a handy flow chart for how either Congress or the executive branch could reschedule a drug.
I live in Houston, LA is a he'll hole. The state Senate here had a bill to decriminalize but won't place it on the docket for consideration. The local DA here in Houston ran on decriminalization and won. She decriminilized by telling police they will refuse to prosecute weed cases less than 40 grams.
I expect legalization to come by a court case. The logic behind prohibition is so bad that it's only been upheld because the judges presiding over the case had biases from growing up in the reefer madness propaganda ERA. The federal government says they have the power to regulate marijuana based on their power to regulate interstate commerce. That won't ever change. The other case is Wickard v Filburn from 1942.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
The just of the case is the federal government limited the wheat farmers could grow per acre of land to stabilize prices. One farmer free more wheat than allowed but the extra wheat he used to feed his himself and his farm animals. He wasn't selling it nor was it traveling out of state so its not interstate commerce. The court rules against him saying the extra wheat affected the interstate market for wheat despite not selling it so ruled against him. This case was used to uphold the federal government's power to regulate weed that yiungrow in your own home and smoke yourself because that affects the interstate market for weed. That's some bull****.
I fully expect in the next 20 years prohibition of pot to be declared unconstitutional. We just need some of the old farts who hold a lot of judgeships to die off.
Also, here is Obama's chief administrator of the DEA being a cut.
Even Jeff Sessions can admit heroin is worse than pot.
Here she is making an even bigger ass of herself.
The least Obama could do was appoint a competent person to run the DEA.

The GOP doesn't want cameras on Trumpcare for the same reason banks don't want regulators and Donald Trump clears rooms.
