We agree! Let Obamacare die of its own weight. Don't prop it up, just let it rot. -

Obama Care put 7 million on the rolls of Medicaid, the first time anyone but the poorest , disabled, and most vulnerable of people were given the coverage. Progressives never want to give anything back. Able bodied people on Medicaid, a first. Once they have another entitlement , good luck getting rid of it. And with the formulas , the least vulnerable of the states Medicaid additions gave them the most opportunity to cash in.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The expansion allowed families below 138% of the federal poverty level to qualify. In 2015 that was about 27,700 for a family of three. That's pretty damn poor.Comment

“These trips are like the lifestyles of the rich and famous,” said Democratic strategist Pat Caddell. The former adviser to ex-President Jimmy Carter believes that President Obama’s vacations are unprecedented, and a far cry from how Carter spent his first few months out of office.
“I think the Bernie Sanders wing of the party, when they see President Obama, whom they instinctively want to defend being the corporatist president, I think it makes the base uneasy,” said Caddell.
Left-wing activists told Fox News they are troubled by what they see as a trend by Obama to distance himself from the base of the party. It’s not just vacations. The president also has enjoyed hefty fees for speeches to prominent Wall Street firms. It’s all part of a trend, they say, of Obama trying to join the fabled 1 percent.
“Obama is not as wealthy or as conservative as Trump, George W. Bush, or George H.W. Bush, but he enjoys what used to be called ‘the lifestyle of the rich and famous,’” said Dr. David Michael Smith of the Houston Socialist Movement. “I am not surprised by Obama’s several recent foreign vacations. As president, he disappointed millions of supporters who hoped he would be a strong advocate for working-class people.”Comment

GOP has enough votes all by their majority lonesome to pass their heinous bill with no help from Dems but they just decided to cancel this week's vote.
Your confidence growing cons? Is that a "mini-win"? Had enough win yet?
They canceled vote AFTER Trump invited all GOP senators over for 4 PM meeting!
If Trump attacks GOP SenAte ....hypothetically of course ....is that a shot in the impending civil war?
Saner republicans will bail from trump eventually and that is when you get your civil war.
Seeing it now.Comment

Post #21023 is hilarious ......
Boris .....mr "populist" right ....mr "conservative" is telling mainstream Dems and independents that the opinion of the "Houston socialist movement" , which goes to same we. Page As "Houston communist party" , regarding barrack obama has meaning.
Sounds like a Russian troll who can't keep their identity / allegiances straight is confused.
Too funny.Comment

Ah, the righteous 'personal responsibility' again. From the party that also loves to lecture about family values, fiscal responsibility, etc., but whose deeds never match the words.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

"Trump-era conservatives describe the white working class as the victims of political and economic forces beyond their control. Sounding a bit like Jesse Jackson defending the black underclass in the 1980s, Trump Republicans say that what the white underclass needs today is not moralistic sermonizing but government assistance and cultural respect.
In recent months, many readers have turned to Hillbilly Elegy in hopes of understanding why white working class voters flocked to Trump. Implicitly, Vance offers an explanation. But his explanation is disturbing. His Appalachian and rust belt neighbors, Vance suggests, want easy answers. They want someone else to blame. By ditching the language of personal responsibility, Trump has created a Republican Party able to tell them what they want to hear. He has done so even as his administration begins implementing a policy agenda that redistributes wealth upwards. This the new GOP populism that Moore describes. God help us when J.D. Vance’s neighbors realize it’s a scam."Comment

I'd like to add that there is a parallel narrative around national security. They crowed about Russia and security for years and now with that hands in cookie jar.....
Here is where we are.
Resident cons here and FOX saying same....."collusion isn't criminal"
Leaving aside for the moment whether it is or not, when was CRIMINALITY the bar? Is that where it is now? Even if trump puts Russian interests In front of ours it's fine ....he won electoral college if not popular vote so that's fine if there is no criminality?
This is "greatness " to a trump supporter ....patheticComment

“I think voters still don’t totally trust Democrats. I think they don’t know necessarily what Democrats stand for, and how they differentiate from Republicans,” Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, who won election in November with the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders, said in an interview.
In the wake of the party’s losses, Democrats are once again rushing to assign blame. There are rumblings among discontented House Democrats that party leaders are the problem. “It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go,” Democratic Representative Kathleen Rice told CNN after Democrats lost in Georgia and South Carolina on Tuesday. Pelosi pushed back on Thursday, saying that she feels “confident in the support that I have” and that her “leadership is recognized” across the country.
Advocacy groups trying to push the party in a more progressive direction seized on the losses to argue that the party needs to put forward a bolder liberal agenda. Democracy for America Chair Jim Dean called Ossoff’s message “uninspiring,” after the Democrat lost in Georgia, adding “the same, tired centrist Democratic playbook that has come up short cycle after cycle will not suffice.”
