Maybe they choose not to buy? If Obamacare was so great, why did we have to buy it at the point of a gun?


Like I said, fewer Americans with health care was by design and expected.

Rates going up faster than under Obamacare wasn't what was promised either, but that also was expected.

So much happening these days:

1) Won't the GOP be proud to own the first presidential sex tape? there won't be another first. ever.

2) Apparently a well-oiled machine seizes up every other day. Who knew?

3) Trump's porn name has been revealed.

4) Since 1945 the US has won exactly one real war (Gulf War I in 1991), two brush wars (Grenada and Panama), and at best fought to a draw elsewhere. What makes anyone think they can win a trade war? China's gonna laugh all the way to the bank.
Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER

No health insurance <> no health care.
The President is a fink.

Fine I misspoke. Focus on the words of the article, millions fewer Americans with health INSURANCE.

INSURANCE premiums UP

Edit: I forgot billions of additional cost to US government, the US taxpayers.

Grenada: The medical students were an excuse. No one was bothering them and there were no troops near them.

One man, twice wounded on the same day and sent back in twice that day sure had fun there (he loves combat) but he didn't consider it some sort of victory to send all that firepower, take casualties and get so little in return.

Apparently Amazon is having issues with Alexa randomly producing a cackling laugh.

I'm with you Skynet. Kill me last. Thanks
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

U.S. Steel to Call Back 500 Employees to Illinois Plant After Trump Announces Tariffs on Foreign Steel

PITTSBURGH, March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) announced today it will restart one of two bla8st furnaces (“B” blast furnace) and the steelmaking facilities at its Granite City Works, an integrated steelmaking plant in Granite City, Ill. The additional capacity will support anticipated increased demand for steel in the United States.

http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/03/07/1417554/0/en/United-States-Steel-to-Restart-Granite-City-Works-Blast-Furnace-Steelmaking-Facilities.html

WINNING!


For every steel or aluminum worker job gained by the tariff, 50 jobs will be lost in manufacturing, due to the increased price of raw materials.

Loser.

Odd that the sources that claim
this all said the stock market would
tank if Trump was elected, there
would be a worldwide recession,
and a worldwide financial collapse.
With that track record how could
they possibly be wrong.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It must be Putin making Trump bring steel jobs back, and Russian trolls.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW
