Do you bots get paid? I'm curious.

The rest of the story: What Obama won’t tell you about his legacy

........................1. It’s (still) the economy, stupid

The expansion that began in June 2009 has been the weakest since World War II, with real gross domestic product growth averaging 2.1%. At 7 1/2 years and counting, it is also among the longest on record. But it hasn’t packed much of a punch. Cumulative growth of 16.5% since the trough is well shy of the 38.4% increase during the 1982-1990 expansion and 42.6% from 1991-2001, according to the Wall Street Journal.

To be sure, the process of digging out from a financial crisis is more arduous than recovering from a garden-variety recession, as Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff chronicled in their 2009 book, “This Time Is Different.” And an aging population is curtailing labor-force growth, which in turn constrains how fast the economy can expand without generating inflationary pressures.

That said, fewer regulatory impediments would have encouraged new business formation, which increased in 2015 for the first time since 2009, and capital investment, giving productivity a needed boost. Stronger economic growth would have lured more labor-force dropouts back to the working world.

New signs of optimism emerged immediately following Trump’s Nov. 8 election. The stock market has been positively buoyant while consumer, business and home-builder confidence have all soared. Surveys suggest businesses are planning to increase capital spending.

That sense of optimism will need to be ratified by results, but the message to Obama is unmistakable: Don’t let the door hit you on the way out...........................

Okay......now the Reality......
Paul Krugman Divulges the Real Reason Trump and Ryan Are Intent on Snatching Healthcare Away From Millions
Repealing Obamacare would only be the first of many betrayals of Trump's supporters
Those gains would be here to stay if Trump was not intent on betraying his supporters by yanking away this vital life-saving program. Krugman:

In a way, Democrats should hope that Republicans follow through on their promises to repeal health reform. After all, they don’t have a replacement, and never will. They’ve spent seven years promising something very different from yet better than Obamacare, but keep failing to deliver, because they can’t; the logic of broad coverage, especially for those with pre-existing conditions, requires either an Obamacare-like system or single-payer, which Republicans like even less. That won’t change.

As a result, repeal would have devastating effects, with people who voted Trump among the biggest losers. Independent estimates suggest that Republican plans would cause 30 million Americans to lose coverage, with about half the losers coming from the Trump-supporting white working class. At least some of those Trump supporters would probably conclude that they were the victims of a political scam — which they were.

Republican congressional leaders like Paul Ryan nonetheless seem eager to push ahead with repeal. In fact, they seem to be in a great rush, probably because they’re afraid that if they don’t unravel health reform in the very first weeks of the Trump era, rank-and-file members of Congress will start hearing from constituents who really, really don’t want to lose their insurance.

Ending barrycrap is not snatching healthcare from anyone. Barrycrap never provided healthcare to anyone, only an obligation to pay vig to rent seeking insurance companies connected to the regime. Proof? Declining life spans in the USA since the start of barrycrap. Service is worse and much more unaffordable for ordinary Middle Americans.

Wait until the Paul Rayan-Trump Care replaces the ACA!!!! Red State rural conservatives will be WITHOUT affordable HC

HealthCare is UNAFFORDABLE NOW because of ACA. Cutting out the mandatory rent-seeking insurance thugs can only help.

Wait until the Paul Rayan-Trump Care replaces the ACA!!!! Red State rural conservatives will be WITHOUT affordable HC!! Trump Rayan plans for HC affordability is SAVING ACCOUNT!!!!!! We will see how the avg voting conservative ACA haters like those options.

Rayan Trump Care = GET SICK AND DIE EARLY!!!

First thing Republicans do will be to cut funding that supports Medicaid expansion and healthcare subsidies to the working poor

Same people who voted for Trump and the Republicans

Once again fools the only people getting better healthcare under ACA are the illegal aliens. Working poor Americans only got a bill for fraudulent 'insurance' impossible to actually use due to the huge deductibles & co-pays.

Why do these idiots respond to my posts?

No....Illegal aliens do not get Obamacare...only in rightwing propaganda fantasies
YES...The working poor became eligible for Medicaid and subsidies to keep down the costs
