Promoter of Fyre Festival, luxury tropic isle filled with avant garde music and all the beautiful people just pleaded guilty to fraud for the fiasco involving rocky garbage-strewn beaches, chiggers, FEMA tents and no drinking water. Casual anonymous sex is common at such festivals so its hard to verify claims of consent-induced by promises of shade or a shared water bottle.

Here is what Trumpcare is bringing to you

http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-trumpcare-urban-20180226-story.html

6.4 million fewer Americans with health insurance - no surprise there, it is by design.

Average of 18% premium price hikes for the individual market.
18.2% in 41 states
20%+ in Texas, North Dakota, Alabama, Nebraska and Arizona

+33 Billion in federal cost:

"Because government premium subsidies rise in tandem with premium increases, the cost of subsidies borne by the government will rise by $33.3 billion next year, or 9.3% — to $391.4 billion from $358.1 billion under existing law."

Are the righties trying to move the goalposts so far that they're pretending a Dem loss in TEXAS would be some sort of anomaly?!

US Steel, firing up a furnace. That really is awesome news. Definitely a check mark on the MAGA side of the equation.
