    Why be racist or sexist about it? The only folks making it about race and sex are folks on the left. Why is that? Talk about raging entitlement theory....

    Not at all. But in this case the decision is designed to advantage the very thing we need to discourage..........oil and gas exploration. This is where the holistic views of Trumpette's and rational, science based citizens become at odds. You see wiping out plant and animal species as perfectly acceptable in pursuit of energy independence. We see another dickish decision to excite the base, pay off legacy energy company donations, and do even more harm to the health of the planet.
    Just to be clear......man made global warming is now a crisis unfolding before our eyes.

    The GOP, or the party of Trump, now stands as the biggest threat to human existence of any organization on the planet.

    ….and to hell with everyone else...YUP, that's a white male perspective.

    Funny how white males actually think they did a good job …(and did it all by themselves ! ).:roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    We need more CONSERVATIVE white male perspective in modern day America...... a hell of a lot more CONSERVATIVE white male perspective. The only perspective we have today is the white man is oppressing minorities perspective, the minorities are a victim perspective, the America needs more minority immigrants that are victims perspective.

    Ironically that perspective is a self-hating white male perspective (Foucalt, Derrida, Lyotard, Baudrillard). Today's dueling ideologies were all created by white males and are therefor still white male perspectives. As far as I know, the most powerful extant ideology that was not founded by white males is Islam, and it is perhaps the ideology most opposed to human rights and human development on earth today.

    For your own health, I hope Donnie doesn't get re-elected
    I see your threads deteriorating in quality these days.
    "The thing Putin helped Don get elected so he could destroy."
    Its already been proven that there was no collusion with Russia so you need to hop off that kool aid train ASAP!
    As for the point of this thread, what is it actually?
    You are quoting a trump comment from (not sure when, cannot find it on google) with very little context.
    He could be referring to people collecting unemployment and severance simultaneously. In many cases, that is better than not working.
    Also, whats up with how you slapped in the word "bigotry" in a thread thats supposed to be about ECONOMICS?
    You should take a chill pill or nobody is going to take your threads seriously anymore.
    Relax, pop open a beer or a nice bottle of wine and forget about Donald Trump for a day.

    Spoken like a true Repub. "The system was working for me.......the hell with everyone and everything else."

    For those who care about fellow human beings there was the huge problem of the uninsured..........not to mention medical cost inflation was on pace to bankrupt the country since we spend so much more than other developed countries for inferior healthcare. The ACA was a flawed attempt to address both problems. We'll never know how effective it would have been due to years of Repub sabotage instead of working with Dems to make the system better.

    Yes, and Medicaid for all. Can you imagine what Trump would do to him in a debate.

    There were ~ 10 million who couldn’t afford health insurance. And that could have solved easily by allowing purchase across state lines. To solve that the D’s passed using a whacked up interpretation of reconciliation passed the disaster aka ObamaCare.

    Facts are facts regardless who tells them.

    Ozzie and Harriet were real, married, and had two sons - Ricky and David.

    AFM, Today at 11:40 AM Report"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""




    Saying that Ozzie and Harriet were real off my comment on the TV SHOW indicated poster thought the TV show was real because the people were real...

    As I had to explain , while Ozzie and Harriet were real people the TV show was fiction......I know, Repubs have such a hard time telling the difference...

    What chaos ???

    It’s doing significantly better despite the Fed raising rates and pulling all the Obama Quantitative Easing money out of bank reserves at the rate of $60B per month.

    The Electoral college was a mistake. The founders' answer to the problems caused by direct democracy was to create a system where a few people get to control the country. It makes the will of the majority meaningless. There are ways to ensure that the minority have a say without completely destroying the very concept of democracy.

    uh.... until the ACA, America had hands down the absolute best healthcare on the planet. You can cite your BS socialized European nonsense that is extremely expensive(astronomical taxes) and is rationed all you want but American healthcare went in the effing toilet after Obamacare became law. How good is anything that puts a gun to your head to force you to buy it?

    Newsflash..the ACA had no detrimental effect on actual healthcare.

    It gave ACCESS to it to tens of millions who were denied that prior to its inception

    The Constitutional Republic is democratic. The people elect both legislative branches. The states are represented in the Senate. Where the will of the majority is compromised is in the Senate 60 vote rule.

    All ObamaCare care did was expand Medicaid and cause economic harm to tens of thousands of people.

    Solved easily is a right wing fantasy.
    Selling Health Insurance Across State Lines Is Unlikely to Lower Costs or Improve Choice
    https://www.commonwealthfund.org/bl...-lines-unlikely-lower-costs-or-improve-choice

    The thought of where you got that 10M figure is too disgusting to think about. But since you're pulling numbers out of your............out of thin air..............how many people had the kind of worthless policies the ACA thankfully got rid of?

    The lack of political will and a misinformed public kept us from moving to a public option, which is what should have happened. As it was, the ACA was a compromise bill that could have been improved on, indeed needed to be improved on. But Repubs were hellbent on killing it as soon as it passed. They could have done what was right for the country but instead chose the politically expedient path of sabotage and propaganda. Now that the ACA has been around for years, albeit in a modified form Repubs have worked on to try to make it fail, it is more popular than ever.

    Speaking of the 2020 election, this headline is as predictable as the sun rising in the east.
    Mike Pompeo tells business execs, economists that he thinks the China trade war could end by 2020 election
    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/20/mik...leaders-that-trade-war-could-end-by-2020.html

    I predict an accommodation will be reached in time for the economy to respond positively to it. All timed..........not for the good of the country.........but for the good of the Divider-in-Chief.

    The issue is not whether Dems are or are not fiscal conservatives but that Republicans...despite their claims are NOT. Not even a little bit

    Any increase you had was NOT because of the ACA but rather a function of the private insurer you chose...with the possible exception that you may have a super cheap plan that actually covered almost nothing and now have actual insurance
