No, no, Peter11937, Go ask your Congressman why health insurance is ten times more costly than auto insurance, yet we kill more people every year in auto accidents and maim millions more than all soldiers lost during WWII.

1) The McCarran-Fergusson Act of 1945 reclassified the health insurance industry from "non-profit industry" status to a "for-profit industry," thus placing health insurance under the Interstate Commerce Clause, allowing for State Legislators to regulate health insurance policies artificially wide and costs artificially high in exchange for fat campaign contributions - all to protect the consumer. Ha ha ha.

2) The 1935 National Industrial Recovery Act of FDR exempting the health insurance industry from the Anti-trust laws, legalizing price fixing throughout the medical industry, destroying competition in free markets needed to drive down costs and raise quality.

3) Allowing for the Democrats to prey upon the historically illiterate citizens and pitch the Public Option lie as an alternative to the "big, bad corporate greedy insurance companies" that the politicians themselves created.

4) Plotting the substitution of the Public Option for Obamacare, triggering government "medical triage," under a nation bankrupt both morally and financially: medicine under the 4th Reich.

Go ahead, call up your congressman and listen to him profess how he wants to protect your healthcare through government regulations.
Ha, ha ha. Oh, Gawd help us. Run for your life, run, run, and when you get tired, run faster.

We need to overturn all Obamacare; overturn the McCarran-Fergusson Act; overturn the health insurance exemptions from the anti-trust laws; and open up interstate commerce to shop across all 50 state borders for private practitioners and health insurance of our free choice.

I feel like Hippolytus standing upon my head dancing across the kitchen table. Does anybody hear me?

Damn you're stupid, when Obama was elected he had a Democratic 40 plus seat majority in the US House, and a Democratic 60 seat filibuster proof majority in the US Senate, with Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the US House, and Harry Reid as the President of the Senate. How do you think they were able to get the abomination known as Obamacare passed. Go back to your room and leave the grownups alone. You can't refute a damn thing I posted, because it is all true and factual history, something that kids like you know nothing about, as you have been proving since the day you got on this site, and even the liberals here know it.

Bush was never a lame Duck, for most of the time he had the house and for a time he had both. i just lost a detailed post but lost it by accidentally refreshed the page, so this is a short version,

Bush inherited a surplus, the US went from a $5.6 trillion surplus that George Bush inherited to over ... $11-plus-trillion debt when George Bush left office."

He had us go into an unpaid war, while cutting taxes to the wealthy, and caring numerous bailouts, some being open ended. Your recollection of the last year of Bush is quite skewed to my recollection, we were on a plane taking such a complete dive that it is how Obama got voted in. People were so desperate to get from under a republican administration people left the republican party- as myself, to take a chance on a black person with the name of Barack Hussein Obama. Now in more desperation, the republican party... out of desperation, voted for a so called non politician Donald Trump. Lesson learned... don't vote out of desperation.

Top Presidencies for GDP Growth
Discussion: The top presidents' average annual GDP growth rates are as follows:

Factual numbers

FDR 9.29%
LBJ 4.93%
JFK 4.37%
Clinton 3.88%
Reagan 3.50%
Carter 3.30%

Out of six presidents for the best results for GDP, five are democratic.

Ok, let's act for a moment that you actually know what you are doing. Let's address the Clinton Surplus Myth to start. In lieu of writing a book on economics for you, I will ask you to simply do your own research on that subject. Google Bill Clinton surplus myth and read the various articles that come up from neutral economist. I get so tired of people peddling that BS from people who have never spent more than 5 minutes researching the slight of hand budget balancing by Clinton and Gingrich!

Let me give you the quick cliff notes on the surplus, first of all, Bill Clinton was riding high on a very friendly and very generous Federal Reserve and Alan Greenspan so keep that in mind. Obama got the same treatment from the Fed!

Basically all they did is take money from the left pocket (unfunded liabilities) and put it in the right pocket (the actual government balance sheet) and there you go, it's balanced with money taken from social security, pensions etc etc. No where was there any real significant change in responsible government. It was all a giant lie meant to deceive the public. If you go back in time and look at the debt clock, you can see at no point did the U.S.government debt stop growing. Also keep in mind, there is no actual written solid number on unfunded liabilities day in and day out. In other words, no one has a clue what that number really Is?

I will get you started below but encourage you to spend a few hours reading about your facts on Bush inhetiting this surplus myth. I have huge issues with President Bush but the surplus is not one of them.

Pure secular {radical} liberal progressive Marx/Alinsky (D), BS, Geo. "Republicans" don't want government healthcare, primarily because it's NOT healthcare, but a gigantic and Marx/Alinsky (D), style "re-(D)istribution of wealth." And the only people actually getting "healthcare," under "ObamaCare," are the subsidized. The middle-class Americans who were FORCED {TAXED} to pay for whoever was able to claim poverty or "illegal-alien rights to free-healthcare" {transportation, education, housing, land, money, food, etc.}, would have to suffer a catastrophic illness to get a penny. Just the rising premiums were becoming untenable, to say NOTHING of the preposterous $6,000 to $12,000 dollar (D)eductibles. Whereas the "subsidized" (D), get - everything for "free," from band-aids to broken limbs; from sprained-ankles to PTSD for the tough time they had getting over {or under} the border, or the horrible war-torn status of the regions they were {American taxpayer financed to be}, quietly (D)eposited to our (D)oor-step. Hummmmmmmmmm. What lawmaker (D), WOULDN'T want THAT??? Especially because they were quick to (D)ismiss themselves {and their big-time (D)onors}, from the outright atrocity of subsidized government "healthcare." Hummmm, again!!!

Geo, I think you are right!! Why should Trump and the dumb republicans be concerned that Obamacare is going broke. I think they should do nothing and if it collapses remember the democrats demanded it be left alone. They designed it and they know its great. My only problem is all the lazy, good for nothings that insist on wealth distribution. Remember, the government can't give you anything that they have not taken from someone else. Do you, smoke, drink, travel to see family then you can pay for either insurance or pay your medical bills, it is a CHOICE you make. We don't tell the story of the ant and the grasshopper anymore because why should some of the lazy work when all they have to do is demand someone take care of them. Trump needs to allow people to LEARN from their CHOICES and quit worrying about what can be done to help them. If they do not want to helpthemselves why should other citizens be concerned??

How scrambled are your brains to read my comment and come to a conclusion that I "disparaged" our vets especially in light that I spent 20 years in service myself. You are a first class brainwashed obot. You wouldn't even make good road kill. A damn squashed armadillo has more common sense and integrity than you.

Radical Islam attacked America on 911 and killed more Americans than we lost at Pearl Harbor and you, you worthless piece of shit, are so bloody stupid not to understand that Bush retaliated, with the approval of congress, and we fought the enemy over there and not over here. That's the way we fight wars but you politically correct bastards want to bring terrorists here and turn us into Europe so we can have them blowing up our own people. You pollute the very air you exhale so stop breathing.
