Much more disgusted than I thought

If the EC 'means something' it's that the democrats vote was inefficiently distributed. You aren't going to win the EC [hence, the WH] by having all your votes concentrated in heavily populated urban areas.

The rub, for them, is that they need to adapt their message to blue collar states. And this they are reluctant to do.

The righties under Dumbya and other admins did not want to count them either. Even U6 won't get you close to half.

I'm taking the over because of student loans and credit cards.

Perhaps, but, consider that student loans have an extremely low interest rate, often below 2%. I have an ungodly 6% rate, due to a consolidation I did on mine. That clears you up to make credit card payments. Even at around $4000, your minimum payment is typically around $75, giving you time to save-up a budget enabling you to get ahead on the payments.

2% is really, really low for a student loan. When did you go to school?

Initially it was all through FAFSA/DoE. Those loans got kicked-out to Sallie Mae and Great Lakes Financial. I subsequently refinanced them with FedLoan.

I had to do this a couple of kids ago, lowest rate I found was 5.6% but that was subsidized so we didn't get that one, that was back in 2013. It's not just the rate either, the tuition itself is sky high compared to what it used to be unless you're going to community college.

Oh, yeah, the tuition is massive. My private college is among the cheapest in WA, and I knocked-out my BA in just three years. Obviously, it's the high principal that is hurting most people, rather than a variation between 2-6% interest. I got screwed, because my initial enlistment incentive into the Guard back in 2004 included up to $20,000 in the Student Loan Repayment Program. I assumed this benefit would be accessible after I graduated and was no longer a student. Instead, I should have activated SLRP after one satisfactory semester. The benefit timed-out on me, and I got nothing.

That is just plain wrong that this happened. Crap like that needs to be corrected. An education benefit for a veteran should be available until the day they die.
 
Trump will be fun to watch, all the Americans who voted for him may find the republican policy changes not to their liking. But when work is disappearing for a variety of reasons people look to a savior, Trump is that now.

At least we won't have to watch your bitch that lost.

Trump's campaign was putting out some hints that his speech would be like the speech after he won the election. Not so much, I guess.

THAT is what he starts with? What a dark, dismal view of America - and what a heap of generalizations in terms of how he's going to "fix things." And I don't care if people think it's a warm & fuzzy snowflake thing: after one of the most bruising, divisive elections in history, you HAVE to at least make a token effort at healing & unifying.

I don't think I have ever felt so pessimistic in my life, about anything. And I'm a Buffalo Bills fan who thinks they're going to the Superbowl every September.

Poor, poor democrat in mourning. Did you wear black yesterday? Or have you been wearing black every day since Nov 7?
