So let’s assume, for the sake of this discussion, that everything you say is correct. Can you point me to what Trump’s proposed policies are that will improve upon what we get under Biden? I’ve looked and not been able to find much, but I’ll admit I may be looking in the wrong place.
Obamacare - as much as you deride it - was a response to the problem you cite.
That is crazy talk. No. They were already paying for folks who couldn’t get insurance. So they flipped the script and made it more expensive for the haves to have insurance. And harder to get for the middle class. So tons of middle class are without insurance so every indigent person on the planet, or illegal, or whatever can have free insurance and someone is paying for it. I went from 300 a month to 1000 on a family of 6. Was this happened prior to Obamacare. Sure. Or you have to work a certain amount of time to get benefits, but on the list of reasons for Obamacare the addition of part time jobs to avoid benefits is 75th on the list. Obama just flipped the payors for insurance. Also cut me out of a business I used to make some decent side money doing. So f him. Thanks Obama.
Our taxes is they. The guberment. There aren’t a ton of solutions I will admit. I give Obama credit for at least trying. But the solution wasn’t good. You may be right. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
Obama knew that the ACA had to be bipartisan. But that came at a cost. Politically for him - a - people on the left hated it - and - b - the legislation isn't great for ALL the reasons. It's a half measure. It's a political solution.
You end employer insurance and you may see some assasinations. Seriously. I get why you say this, but pissed is not the word. I wanted to strangle Obama myself back then. He cost me a shitload of money. This is a big reason I hate every freaking candidate you support. I have less money in my pocket every single time. No matter what. It is like I have a Democrat bullseye on my back. Upfront they lead with the social issues. Divide us. Then prison rape me with their economics every single time. That is as honest as I can be with you. Makes me want to beat the shit of out of someone. Maybe that is why so many are frustrated right here on this board.
I think you misunderstand me:
So the solution is to put another half million people out of work who are employed by the insurance carriers. And that doesn’t count for insurance brokers who sell health insurance
Like I said, and the response you got. It is an ugly choice no matter how you shake it out. I don’t give Obama credit for much. He didn’t screw anything up. He didn’t do much at all. He did try to fix that. Which he didn’t. He just swapped problems. He did really try and to not be so partisan. Even if that is how it turned out.
The answer is in the original post. As the republicans voted unanimously - don’t inject another trillion into the economy when it doesn’t need it. As red states showed, don’t unnecessarily shut down schools businesses and workers to constrain supply artificially.
Pro oil policy? We are producing more oil than any country in history. The industry has some regulatory hurdles, but they seem to be overcoming them with no issues.
Not sure what you’re looking for, and for the record I was for RDS. But under Trump the economy was much better and was moving in the right direction b4 the Chinx (with Fauci’s assistance) threw covid on the world, employment numbers were better, especially for minorities and women, the southern border wasn’t the dangerous wreck it is today, we were energy independent, we were bringing manufacturing back stateside, we weren’t involved in foreign wars, the crazy left wing MSM was focused on defaming him instead of half the country, and his Admin wasn’t engaged in lawfare.
When inflation hits as hard as it does, honestly the President probably gets too much blame. Covid took out Trump. Indirectly it is going to take out Biden as well - because the aftermath of Covid led to inflation which sure as shit effects everyone and is the number one reason he’s polling so poorly.
As a business owner it about killed us. Double digit increases every year. Brutal.
Well said.
Covid didn’t do anything. Our approach to it did everything. The shutdown was unnecessary and Biden kept spending well beyond the pandemic. Everyone knows this. Everyone also knows this is the cause of inflation. The Dems saw their opportunity to enslave the nation, especially the middle and lower classes. And they pounced.
2 handle works for fed policy and will get interest rates down, but it won’t do much for folks still paying 30 percent more money for just about everything relative to a few years ago. Most people think of inflation in terms of actual prices relative to the past. The rate of inflation even being flat won’t move the needle politically. Damage done.
Hello....2008 all over again..Massage and manipulate the numbers to make the deal work even with smoke and mirrors. Gotta make that commish....
Got news for you. All die alone. You got to walk that road all by yourself.
sure. it's an indisputable, if hackneyed, point you make. But most who die at home or in hospitals get to have their loved-ones around them.
I got somebody with me every second of every day. Whether there's any of my people around when I go or not don't matter much. But I guess that's "hackneyed".
