Except that’s the exact terminology Republicans will throw at Dems as an insult. Right out of Rush Limbaugh’s mouth. If you were forced to choose liberal or conservative, you would choose conservative every time, but then turn around and write “centrist/moderate” wasn’t available as an option, right? I don't know. I'm no genius. I don't have all the answers. I think I am conservative. But I'm very upset and now want free health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive to finance big purchases due to rising interest rates. More expensive consumer costs due to tariffs. Even the stock market has fallen almost back to a 10% correction from the all-time high of 26,600 (despite Rabbit claiming to still be up 6-8%). Recession heading our way in 2019 instead of 2020...US dollar rising makes our exports less and less competitive, costing jobs and lowering GDP. If Trump wouldn’t have done anything (besides the tax cut/deregulation), we’d be at 3-4% GDP. Maybe even north of 4% for the first time in ages, but of course Trump can’t leave well enough alone. So we will end up back in the 2’s again. I don't like the gas prices. WTF. It's all a scam. Whenever we get close to a holiday, boom. High gas prices. It's all BS.

Sure you got a slight tax cut, put you will more than pay for it eventually. I don't. I wrote that when asked why I say I want Trump to succeed. I want anybody to succeed who can guarantee me not being homeless because of escalating healthcare costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were those families who fell between cracks....mostly upper middle class/small business or independent contractors...whose rates went up quite dramatically. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/01/01/middle-class-workers-struggle-to-pay-for-care-despite-insurance/19841235/ But the number aren’t close to the tens of millions who are going to be demonstrably worse off NOW, including those with pre-existing conditions. Sure, they can buy the cheapest bare bones policies that actually cover nothing, but, hey...they’re covered. Except not really. Basically, the priority of the GOP is protecting the upper middle class and elites and screwing over the middle class, lower middle class and poor people. We can give away a trillion in tax cuts to corporations, and increase defense spending by over $80 billion, but no. If they wanted to close that donut hole or loophole, they easily could have used the money from either line item. So if the GOP can just give away stuff for free with no concern for fiscal consequences or our future grandchildren, why can’t we just have Medicare for All and cut out the insurance industry altogether...and negotiate for better drug prices as well? It’s actually quite simple, it’s all about priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well the Sarah Sanders story has just about run its course, used up its 15 minutes of fame. How did everybody come out? Looks like Sanders came across as a classy person, just walking away and going home. She was not seen as much of a victim though. She'll continue on her daily duties fighting the media and vice versa. The left has to be happy she did not emerge heroic. b.) Restaurant owner survives not apologizing, sounds as if she continues to lay low she'll be fine. Who cares if she's not running the downtown business association any more? She might watch out for a lunatic or two for another week or so but she'll be fine. c.) The person who advocated doing this to Trump supporters everywhere and "pushing back" has survived without issuing an apology. I forget her name. So why was this story moderately important? More hatred in America exhibited. People hating on each other is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the owner did was really really rude, mean and divisive. It hurt businesses with the same name. It hurt a lot of peeps. And no apology. Have you asked for Donald Trump to apologize for his rude and divisive behavior? With the amount of times you are on here when someone is rude to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I would think you would also be on here every time that Donald Trump insults someone on Twitter.

What more can I say negative regarding Trump? If I'm not mistaken I call him "evil" a lot and a "jerk" a lot. I don't want to cuss on here if I can avoid it. I also have advocated for him getting impeached and stand by my prediction he won't finish his term. Not bad for a Republican. Not many of us comment negatively against "one of their own" like that. I don't see u guys blasting Demos, even that woman who suggested roughing up Trump supporters, "pushing back." I see no criticism of her. Sorry I forget her name and am too lazy to look it up here at Panera. I guess I'm wasting my wrists typing. Either nobody reads it or nobody believes it. The one positive thing I say about Trump is I want him to succeed. I guess that stance makes u guys mad. Cause it'd help me and millions of others stay off the streets. Homeless. ... I don't hear any of you offering to take me in if health care costs send me to the poorhouse someday. As far as Sarah S. I don't like her handling of the press conferences, however, the format probably needs to change. Like the TV shows I won't watch, it's people yelling yelling yelling over each other. She gets condescending in trying to move on. I am uncomfortable watching them and frankly don't care what SS has to say. If Trumpie can't be the guy fielding the questions I see no value in her speaking for him. I don't think you can judge her off those conferences. I've heard nothing that suggests anything but her being a very nice person, a good mom and a credit to society.

At least Greg answers questions the best he can directly. A lot of you guys hit me with one liners, win the current argument, and we wait for the next one. I wish more people would post on here.
