And along the way as an after thought they will kill Medicare and Social Security. Just to level the playing field.

Trump voters are one and the same with the abused wife that nevertheless refuses to leave her husband. âWhy no officer, I tripped and fell off the back porch. Donald is a good man, how could anyone think heâd hit me?! Weâre both OK here, you can go help someone more in need of your services, thank you.â
There will be no second thoughts or regret by voters for electing Trump, regardless the harm he inflicts on him. The nigger is out of the White House and that bitch Hillary lost. The satisfaction alone from those two events will provide sufficient succor for millions for years, come what may.

The republicans are simply trying to help older people not to be a burden on public finances for too long.

The problem is that Trump supporters are not good with math or reality. Their pocket books will know better after the repeal is passed. Yes, hopefully, it will be enough to through the bums out. But the damage, both to Trump supporters and innocent citizens, will have been done.

Should Melania decide to bug out for Slovenia I would cheer her on. I hope she would take Barron as well.

OT?:
Tierney Sneed manages to pack more useful information into a short article than anyone else on this site, and most anyone else anywhere.
Huzzah!

That fits right in with their claim to âBring back jobsâ because with millions of the poor and middle class lined up at soup kitchens they will have a HUGE pool of dirt-cheap labor they can endlessly abuse for profit.
You will see an explosion of $1/hour jobs once the Labor Dept. guts the minimum wage laws and/or the Oligarch-Congress dispenses with it altogether under the âPut Americans Back to Workâ law they are sure to put forward that makes minimum-wage laws ILLEGAL and guts unemployment insurance by making it VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS by the Corporations.
This also creates a HUGE pool of desperate young people who can be hoovered up by the Military for all the new âOnward Christian Soldier Warsâ that Trump will start.
Welcome to the new Feudalism, Crusades and all.

Câmon! Get on board.
Funny how every republican plan whether it be for health care, school choice or tax reform all have the same thing in common. The rich get the money and the poor and middle class get the shaft.

Hey Darr⌠longtime no see in the HiveâŚ
Shitshow is right. Blowing hot smoke... Put down the bong Don... .
And the biggest line of crap on the night concerning the ACA? This is from Governing:
Speaking before Congress, Trump quoted Matt Bevin, the Republican governor of Kentucky, as saying that "Obamacare is failing in his state." That was perhaps a pre-emptive strike against the official Democratic response to the speech, which was delivered by Steve Beshear, Bevin's Democratic predecessor who had been singled out by President Obama for praise in his 2014 State of the Union address for successfully implementing the health care law. According to Gallup, Kentucky has seen the largest drop in the rate of uninsured residents of any state since 2013, from 20.4 percent to 7.8 percent.
Here is the Democratic response from Steve Basher previous Governor of Kentucky:
Mr. President, as a candidate, you promised to be a champion for families struggling to make ends meet and I hope you live up to that promise. But one of your very first executive orders makes it harder for those families to even afford a mortgage.Then you started rolling back rules that provide oversight of the financial industry and safeguard us against another national economic meltdown. And you picked a Cabinet of billionaires and Wall Street insiders who want to eviscerate the protections that most Americans count on and that help level the playing field.
That's not being our champion, that's being Wall Street's champion. And even more troubling, you and your Republican allies in Congress seem determined to rip affordable health insurance away from millions of Americans who most need it.
Does the Affordable Care Act needs some repairs? Sure it does. But so far, every Republican idea to replace the Affordable Care Act would reduce the number of Americans covered, despite your promises to the contrary.
Mr. President, folks here in in Kentucky expect you to keep your word, because this isn't a game, itâs life and death for people. These ideas promise access to care, but deny the importance of making care affordable and effective. They would charge families more for fewer benefits and put the insurance companies back in control.
Behind these ideas is the belief that folks at the lower end of the economic ladder just don't deserve health care. That it is somehow their fault that their employer doesn't offer insurance or that they can't afford to buy expensive health plans. But just who are these 22 million Americans, including 500,000 people right here in Kentucky, who now have health care that didn't have it before?
Look, theyâre not aliens from some distant planet. They are our friends and neighbors. We sit in the bleachers with them on Friday night, we worship in the pews with them on Sunday morning. Theyâre farmers, restaurant workers, part-time teachers, nurses aides, construction workers and entrepreneurs working at high-tech startups. And before the Affordable Care Act, they woke up every morning and went to work, just hoping and praying they wouldn't get sick because they knew that they were just one bad diagnosis away from bankruptcy.
You know, in 2010, this country made a commitment, that every American deserved health care they could afford and rely on, and we Democrats are going to do everything in our power to keep President Trump and the Republican Congress from reneging on that commitment. But we are going to need your help by speaking out.

Iâve been side tracked by this Walking Shitgibbon Clusterfuck, Olden. Been using the public side to vent even though its a useless exercise. I am shocked (I shouldnât be given the intelligence of the voters) that the Orange menace actually was chosen over the skilled, thoughtful and thoroughly experienced opponent he had. Our country would be in far better hands had Hillary won. But the electorate chose bombast and epic weapons grade ignorance to be their leader. Folks are saying he âpivotedâ to being a president last night. I sure as hell donât see that. At any rate once my daily anger level decreases Iâll be back in the Hive

Hereâs what to expect when you turn 65: first, Medicare peels $100 a month from your social security. Then youâll need a supplement policy which will cost you about $125 per mo as Medicare only gives you 80% coverage. So itâs going to cost you about $225 per mo. If you need a dental policy youâre on your own. So a couple (both on social security) your monthly will be $450-500. Itâs a good deal but itâs not great especially if youâre retired or trying to get to retired.
Gruel doesnât require teeth.

Couldnât help but read your post (just above mine). Iâve been taking three day breaks from most sites and my wife and I have an agreement where she wonât bitch to me about âthingsâ unless I bring it up. As you know, and as Iâve had to learn, anger can really shorten oneâs life or quality of life.
I would have never watched Trump last night for the obvious reasons, but more importantly watching it would have filled me with random anger and restlessness lasting for the rest of the week. My wife doesnât need it and Iâm too old to live my life like that.

They take $125.00 monthly from my SS check for Medicare B as of last June.
