Obama stole neo-liberal healthcare mandate from Hillary, who stole it from "conservative" Heritage Foundation

There is no difference between forcing you to buy health insurance and taking your money to pay for Medicaid and Medicare.

Everyone is for tyranny.

LOL: Rat-infested cities tend to be Democrat cities

Trump’s Attack on Baltimore Doesn’t Go Far Enough:

Take a look at the eight other cities that beat Baltimore on Orkin’s rattiest cities list. What do they all have in common? We’ll, let’s see:

Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1931. Philadelphia last saw a Republican mayor in 1952, Detroit in 1962. San Francisco has been Democrat-controlled since 1964. Washington, D.C., has never had a Republican mayor.

In Los Angeles, Democrats have run the city in all but eight of the past 58 years, in New York, it’s eight in the past 74 (not counting John Lindsay, who switched parties while in office). Cleveland’s been run by Democrats in all but 16 of the past 78 years.

Indeed, if you want to see what liberal Democratic policies tend to produce, go to any one of those cities, or other Democratic strongholds. Democrats promise to help the poor and downtrodden, grow the middle class, make life more fair. But their policies consistently produce the opposite.

These cities are rife with crime. Baltimore ranks No. 1 for robberies and No. 2 for murders. Many of the other rat-infested cities also rank high for violent crimes. Their infrastructure is crumbling. The middle class has largely abandoned them. 

And far from tackling inequality, Democrats have made it worse. Washington, San Francisco and New York are all in the top 10 for biggest income inequality levels, according to the Brookings Institution. Other Democrat cities — Providence, Miami, Boston, New Orleans — are also on the list.

Washington, San Francisco, New York, Detroit, and Cleveland are also among the 10 worst-run cities, according to WalletHub. Three other Democratic strongholds — Oakland, Flint, Hartford — make WalletHub’s worst-run list.

 

LOL October 2018: "Baltimore On Most Rat-Infested Cities List Again: Orkin"

While Baltimore showed progress from last year, it still made the top 10 on Orkin's list of "Rattiest Cities.":

  1. Chicago
  2. Los Angeles
  3. New York
  4. Washington, DC
  5. San Francisco
  6. Detroit
  7. Philadelphia
  8. Cleveland
  9. Baltimore
  10. Denver

 

LOL only WE can say it: In Dec 2015 these two men both called Baltimore's conditions "third world" level

Bernie Sanders' Baltimore visit: hold the Isis, let's focus on 'third world' US cities:

Bernie Sanders: [A]nyone who took the walk we took today around this neighbourhood would not think you were in a wealthy nation, you would think you were in a third world country.

Jamal Bryant: We are 45 miles from the White House and it doesn’t even look like we are in America. It looks like we are in a third world country.

Average 4.3% PCE up to year 2000, 2.5% post-Great Recession:



Incompetent Trump's tax cut for corporations at end of 2017 resulted in a surge of stock buybacks, not jobs

Way to go, Brownie!

You talkin' to me?

Incompetent Trump's crime bill results are in and nearly 2,000 of the wrong kind of people have been released already

US House advances Bipartisan Budget Act to the Senate 284-149, sets discretionary spending at about $1.37 trillion for both of the next two fiscal years and suspends debt ceiling

65 Republicans voted for the damn thing, not that it mattered substantively. The thing otherwise would have passed 219-214 even if the 16 Democrats who voted "nay" still had done so. It's a 235-197-1 Democrat-controlled US House.

Roll call vote 511 is here.

The real crime is a Republican president is going to sign it, not using his greatest weapon, the veto, to get any number of things he claims he wants.

Obviously he doesn't really want what he says he wants.
