Hero’s? Lmao, try zeros, I’m guessing that you don’t like the way America is headed financially and job creation wise, you would rather get everything for “free” how do you think everything is free when the taxes would go up considerably and companies would start laying people off and once again move overseas. Liberals are not the brightest bunch, I’ll tell you that

@Prison1203 rand Paul is blocking aid to vets and 911 first responders based on cost. However, he backed a reckless tax cut for the wealthy that costs a trillion a year

Prison1203 · 61-69, M

Did you cry and pout when Obama added 9 trillion to the debt and wasted tax dollars on worthless green companies that folded but their main people got paid huge bonuses? I doubt it. Or how about forcing people to buy something they didn’t want under penalty of law just so we could pay for those that don’t want to better themselves and get better paying jobs@GoldenWorm

GoldenWorm · 51-55, M

@Prison1203 9 trillion? You're smoking some good deed man.

Did you see Obama inherent a -8% GDP from Bush the Calamity? And then fix it?

Prison1203 · 61-69, M

Yes 9 trillion, what was the national debt when he took and left office? And he didn’t fix anything of Bush’s he attempted to fix what Clinton and the democrats screwed up, Bush and McCain both warned them. So keep dreaming

GoldenWorm · 51-55, M

@Prison1203 do you even know the US GDP, debt and global cash levels?

@Prison1203 [quote]Obama added 9 trillion to the debt[/quote]

Another violation of Misty's Law @MistyCee

By the way, since you obviously missed Civics 101 [b]CONGRESS[/b] controls the nation's purse strings and both chambers of Congress were under the control of [b]REPUBLICANS[/b] for six of Obama's eight years in the Oval Office.

Prison1203 · 61-69, M

You mean that dismal 1.5% average over 8 years that Oblamo had? The “NEW NORMAL” lmao@GoldenWorm

@Prison1203 [quote]Did you cry and pout when Obama added 9 trillion to the debt[/quote] No. That's what you do in a recession. The austerity approach is fucking stupid.

[quote]wasted tax dollars on worthless green companies that folded [/quote] Investments don't always work out. The overall loan program was in the black, created jobs in the midst of a recession, and funded new tech - exactly what it was supposed to do.

[quote]Or how about forcing people to buy something they didn’t want under penalty of law[/quote] Anyone who "didn't want" to have health insurance is fucking retarded, and should have been bitchslapped a lot harder than Obamacare provisions allowed for.

[quote]Upon taking office, the stock market had cratered and businesses were shedding jobs[/quote] Yeah, Obama caused the Great Recession, read all about it here 😂

People do not have healthcare now,the government is not supposed to force a product on the citizens, plain and simple, the one and only reason it passed SCOTUS is because of the 28 new taxes it had built into it, now that the mandate is gone, people that do not need or want healthcare are dropping it. I’m gonna laugh watching his last legacy die a long painful death and then maybe we can finally get something done with healthcare and being able to cross state lines , that in of itself will cause prices to go down and the amount of coverage to go up@QuixoticSoul

As far as I'm concerned, "not wanting or needing healthcare" is a litmus test that tells me someone isn't mentally capable of making their own decisions, and the state needs to step in.

[quote]we can finally get something done with healthcare and being able to cross state lines , that in of itself will cause prices to go down and the amount of coverage to go up[/quote] That was never the barrier, and Obamacare allowed for multi-state plans. It's running multi-state [i]networks[/i] that's the tough part, not the administration side of things.

Whenever government gets involved in anything, it’s a total fuckup, plain and simple@QuixoticSoul
