If we aren't going to have an open war on Reaganomics, then there is no reason to have any hope.

@11 Legend.

Please provide the names of companies who will pay you for opting out of medical insurance. I don't know of any who do

@ 8 Legend,

You really need to finish middle school. I've told you before, I pay $200.00 / pay...twice a month for health care for me and my spouse. I have no idea what amount the board pays for their share. If I opted out of the program, my salary would increase $200.00 / pay. I would not receive the Boards contribution to health care.

I checked with some people here, if you are willing to move to our county and pay taxes, we would be willing to help you finish middle school and continue on to High School. Let us help you, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

We had had this posting before. OU812 thinks that because her/his school pays for part of the health Insurance that it is free. He/she will not admit to what he/she pays or what the school pays. A lot of Americans think this way. Because what they pay is deducted off of their check. They do not have the money in hand. It is when you start paying out of pocket that you realize what it actually is costing you. They also think that they are getting it cheaper than the average person can go buy it and they are not.

@#6

Sounds kinky.

Ou812, Good to hear you benefit if this goes through. Clearly the leftie/socialists are nervous it will be a positive move for the economy.

If Franken stays, it completely removes the possibility of any democrat ever calling for the resignation of any Republican from office on sexual harassment issues.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Al.

"The Republican tax bill is an American betrayal -- The American people voted for populism. They got plutocracy." By Ezra Klein

​"In reality, by 2027, 62.1 percent of the tax bill’s benefits go to the top 1 percent, and 42.3 percent of the benefits go to the top 0.1 percent."

The Republican Party is fast becoming an unpopular brand, largely because its core constituency is a dying breed of out-of-touch, old, rich, white guys brainwashed by wall-to-wall corporate programming blaring nonstop from their last-century media devices: TV and radio. So naturally, their desperate fascist leaders are scrambling to catch up with the times, which to them means -- of COOOURSE! -- to infect the internet with the same propaganda techniques that had won them so much wealth and power back in the glory days of the analog world.

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the [varnished] truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.” --George W. Bush, the "decider."

Most of the other demographics, especially the young and educated, are migrating to the Democratic Party.

Come the midterms, they should remember: which party is trying to take away their healthcare; which party is deregulating industries to poison our air, land, water, and food; which party ensures low wages and low benefits; which party is telling Wall Street banksters that it's okay again to rip off consumers; which party is lavishing tax cuts on the rich by taking it out of the hide of middle-class workers and the poor and by exploding the deficit, impoverishing future generations of workers who must pay it back; which party is trying to turn the internet into a private cash cow for their wealthy donors and a loudspeaker for their endless lies.

In other words, which one is the party of super-rich predators and which one is the party of everyone else, their prey?

They should remember...

@2 Dumb as a worn out for door knob

I don't have Obama Care, me and another 157 million American families have health insurance through our employers......I know it goes against all you washed up lefties believe, but the NY Times (a left leaning paper) says 75% of the country will benefit from the new tax law. So if those 75% vote republican.....well, it will be a Democrat blood bath....it's a good thing you guys are use to losing :))

deepspace: I'm struggling extremely hard to even talk with Republican friends and family. I even declared a personal war on X-mas because of the rightie god and guns hypocrisy, but after soul searching recently, I've backed off...felt too much like Scrooge.

BTW: I was having a few beers with friends at a local pub last night and given the content of conversation, you'd have thought it was 1773 Boston Pub ...The Kochbaggers are in big trouble. So keep the faith!

That is because he has been such an idiot jerk. He made tons of promises when campaigning. You bought it. Now he cannot come through. Plus he is selling the likes of Roy Moore and a tax cut for billionaires. Not to mention obvious ties to Russia. Of course it generates negative publicity. Doing the job is more scrutanized than campaigning where they can promise the world of roses. Going back to 2009:
