The Trump Presidency

[chop2chip]

It is impressive Republicans are confident and inspired by a Republican President who promises xyz.

Be curious to check back with these same people a year or two down the road.

This all has an eery Mission Accomplished vibe

You can question why consumer confidence is higher (I certainly am), but it is.

And it's not just Republicans. Unless you think Republicans are the only people who invest and buy things in this country.

People getting all in a tizzy about the normal stuff is annoying - and potentially dangerous - boy crying wolf and all. The Left needs to save a bit for the really egregious stuff that'll no doubt come.

Chinese investors forgiving 4/5 of Kushner family debt at 666 Fifth Avenue. Expect lots of smiles when Trump receives Xi this coming weekend

CBO AHCA Cost Projections

14 million will lose insurance
Medicaid cut by $880 billion
Average premiums for single policyholders increase by 20%

Thanks gold. Now when 57 asks who the Left is I can tell him it's you. :-)

That's gonna be weird for some topics but that's fine :cheers:

So if people's insurance go up, can I mock them if they post it and pretend they didn't?

Just want to see if we can play by the same rules.

By the way - I agree this plan is stupid. But at least it removes the mandate

Peaceful Sweden....

Yeah, reading actual Swedish sources make this out to be much less of a deal than that breitbart thing. Basically it was more or less akin to a meth lab explosion.

Stop using Breitbart as a source. It will make you much more intelligent.

Loretta Lynch‏ @IorettaIynch 17h17 hours ago

Our tax dollars are paying to secure Trump's three White Houses - Trump Tower, mar-a-lago and PA Ave, plus paying to rent his property.

Summarily removing the US Atty who was investigating Russian money laundering by Deutsche Bank, to which Trump owes vast sums, is suspicious



Guess that would be on par had Lynch fired Comey
Aye ?

What exactly is the 2017 threshold for egregious ?
In the past it was birth certificates and travel logs and Solyndra etc etc etc

I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.

I heard one guy's using taxpayer money to fly to Florida every weekend AND keep his wife in a golden tower in NYC.

Hopefully a massive expansion in investment and good paying jobs are to follow.

Only if you choose never to buy insurance. Then it just swaps a tax penalty for an industry surcharge.

By the way, did you ever give me an example of a functioning HC system without public subsidies? There are a lot of threads floating around and I may have missed it.

I haven't - although haven't really looked either.

Don't know of any top of my head

Yeah, let me know how that goes.

[sturg33]

Yeah, let me know how that goes.

I can say with knowledge off the top of my head that the US does NOT have single payer (which I think is worse than we already have), and yet we are among the lowest in the world in wait times for specialists and still have the most new drug innovation in the world
