Mindless Partisanship

[Oneuli]

Hello Oneuli,



Great point.

And the idea of requiring everyone to purchase insurance, the so-called 'personal mandate,' was actually a Republican idea. It came out of John McCain's office during the time that Hillary was FLOTUS and was trying to institute universal health care.

Personal mandate - Republican idea.

I expect that if, back early in his second term, Obama had proposed building a border wall with Mexico and financing it with tariffs, at least 90% of those who now cheer Trump for the idea would be calling it proof of Obama's economic ignorance, and they'd be dutifully characterizing those tariffs as the biggest planned tax hike in history.

Probably right!

Hello Oneuli,

Yep. Debt has been rising much faster in the last year than it was at the end of the Obama years, yet, like a light-switch, that concern has been extinguished. The moment a Democrat is in the White House, though, these same concern-trolls on the right will again pretend to care deeply.

Oh, you know it! and they will completely overlook Trump and blame it all on Obama. You can count on that.

Has anyone figured out Herschel Walker's pregnant cow story?
