Other things to do first like abolish aca act....thanks McCain for screwing that up FAIL
Taxcuts Hey let's add $1.5 trillion to the national debt by helping the top 10% FAIL
Now it's time for the wall he will get his money. Not only won't he get the required funds...$30Billion, there will be no wall as he envisions it. FAIL
Sorry that doesn't wash. He will get money to build it. Now maybe not what he envisioned, but he will get it so win! Top 10% hogwash the whole tier was cut. The dems just whining because the rich got some too. Like they should the rich employ the people so WIN! The aca abolishment was a failure, a massive McCain failure to do the right thing. Define "some". Since the vast majority of the benefits go to the rich I would argue that "some" is somewhat of a misnomer |

Meaning we only hit half of our unobtainably high in this market % growth target. Yay companies! |

Of course we rank 20th in public education now. In the last 50 years we have wasted trillions appeasing the war mongers that run our show, with countless military ventures everywhere. We learned nothing from Korea.
Just imagine if those funds had been directed internally towards schools, rapid transit/bus systems, alt energy, comprehensive insulation programs on all Federal buildings, healthcare programs and etc., etc.
But the wrong people are in charge so here we are... According to that site, you didn't make the top 20 at all. |

My company apparently prefers to tie all yearly raises to their performance to goal. With no shits to whether you personally did well that year. Eta Supposedly I've heard that if you have a less then stellar review you wouldn't get the whole amount. |

I'm enjoying how wrong you are on this one. He will NEVER get the $30+billion it will really take. The current request is a bold face lie and he won't get that either. The comprehensive wall, which is not needed to secure our border at a higher level, will NEVER be built. His whole wall schtick is just a scam for people like you so you'll support him. He is using you and is a FAIL.
Top 10% hogwash the whole tier was cut. The dems just whining because the rich got some too. Like they should the rich employ the people so WIN!
Perhaps you should research how much of the tax cut went to the top 10%. Can you say vast majority? None of whom needed it. But I'll just have to put you down as yet another Repo-Con that supports massively increasing the national debt. No surprise there as it's Phase III of Tinkle Down Voodoo. And you seem unaware that many of the top 10% in wealth don't work and don't employ large numbers of people but sit by the pool getting served daiquiris by their illegal immigrant staff while they collect dividend checks and watch their stock portfolio get hammered in December. FAIL.
The aca abolishment was a failure, a massive McCain failure to do the right thing.
Please inform of us all of the better plan the head Repo-Con had to replace the ACA. However, McCain did the right thing as it preserved health insurance coverage for over 20 million of your fellow citizens. Thousands of lives have been saved simply on that alone. Will it ever bother your little Trumpyass soul that if the ACA had been abolished many thousands would be dead?
What a crowning achievement for McCain's political career. And while I'm waiting to hear from you on the great Repo-Con plan Trump promised I think I'll buy some more stock in Cricket Corp. Maybe even on margin this time.

But the wrong people are in charge so here we are... that is because we are focused on competition rather than creativity.
we could take a lesson from the best schools in the world, but we are a bunch of know-it-alls, so that ain't going to happen.
result = we fall far below 20th. soon we will be competing with Iran and Cuba.

After much prodding he devoted about eight seconds of thought to the matter and decided it was too hard so gave up. |

justme - your video reminded me of the below video of Craig Cobb of Leith, North Dakota fame. The laughing black woman sitting next to Cobb later on in the show found out through DNA testing she was part white. Her laughter soon ended upon hearing that. Both are racists.

You know that doesn't work, right? Nah. I suspect your knowledge of the English language, math and geography is only rivaled by your knowledge of economics. |

I’m sensing straight FAUX News main liner who believes all he is told with no desire to do any research other than where to find the best blinders and earplugs.

I'm pretty sure that even the most ardent followers of the Vulpine News can do basic math and know that Detroit and Chicago are not in the same state. There are some posters here whose opinions I would only consider with an entire 50 pound bag of salt. |

For some reason, I'm reminded of a conservative friend of mine who used the ACA back when the economy was in free-fall and he lost his job. Then sits on FB and post anti-OBAMACARE memes.
