So the republican solution to our healthcare system is as little government as possible right?

[westwall]

How braindead does one have to be to believe this shit in 2024?

How braindead do you have to be to continually lie.

Because they were a victim of obummercare, and with their passing all we are left with are big corporations who have a monopoly. Thus my costs go up.

Pharmacies were a victim of Obamacare? You seem pretty well medicated to me.

 

[westwall]

Yeah, because I have enough money to provide for my family.

Lots don't.

 

[Greenbeard]

Why are you so damn uninformed about Obamacare and yet still commenting about it anyway?

Absolutely more people can get prescriptions filled thanks to the ACA than could before it. Even in Nevada. Prescription drug coverage is one of those required offerings you all find so extravagant when other people get to enjoy it, too.

What “Republican” policy?

Who was speaker of the House during George W. Bush’s final 4 years? Nancy Pelosi (D). Spoiler Alert: that means the Democrats controlled the House.

Who was Senate Majority Leader during George W. Bush’s final 2 years? Harry Reid (D). Spoiler Alert: that means the Democrats controlled the Senate.

I want to thank you for yet again proving that whenever the Democrats are in power, collapse soon follows. Tip of my cap to you, sir

So then it’s still a recession. You do get that basic logic, right?

Oh gee this is convenient logic. If a democrat president is involved it’s all their fault, but if there is a republican president he is completely blameless with a democrat congress. You morons need to stop preaching “personal responsibility” because it clearly doesn’t apply to yourselves.

So what were the democrat policies that caused the recession? You have no idea…again!

And yes moron, obviously for the first 6 months of Obama’s first term we had a recession. Derp!

 

[Billy000]

It’s not “speculation” at all. We have the data. It’s a fact that the recovery didn’t start until October 2011. In other words, 10 months after Republicans had control coast-to-coast.

Yep - in 2011. When Republicans rolled out proven conservative policy.

You repeateding the same pathetic lies over and over is not fooling anyone. 1) The measure of the recession ending was that new jobs were being created even if it wasn’t enough to immediately reverse the unemployment rate. 2) you have NO gop laws to bring up prior to Trump so your pitiful act on pretending to sound right, again, doesn’t fool anyone.

Oh and your timing is completely wrong anyway. In January of 2010, the unemployment rate went down below 10%. It went even lower in February. In March of 2010 it was 9.7%.

In April of 2010, it went up to 9.9. By May, it went back down to 9.7. In June of 2010, it was 9.5. July same number. By December it was 9.4. Therefore it was trending DOWN all along.

ACA is the one of the largest corporate gravy trains every created.

No, actually they can't. That's the point

Wrong.

...he asked after watching a two-minute Steve Forbes video.

I didn’t need Forbes website - you did (sadly). I followed all of it in real time back in 2009 & 2010. If only Democrats voters were as informed as Republican voters (but then there wouldn’t be any Democrat voters if that ever happened).

 

[P@triot]

Pharmacies were a victim of Obamacare?

Yep. Millions of businesses around the nation have fallen victim to failed left-wing policies over the last 100+ years.

Proving once again that the inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.

Envious little people who just cannot tolerate someone else having something they don’t, prefer the equal sharing of misery.

Impressive stuff, Death Panel guy.

Surely you recognized that your premium going up zero over a fourteen-year period was sort of unusual?

My premium has gone up every year. What is unusual ror a human is your lack of comprension.

Uh…I said the exact same thing about Obama. The Republicans were responsible for the recovery. Obama was “completely blameless” for the recovery. He did what he could (used EOs, vetoed legislation, etc.) to block it, which is why Trump was the final piece to the record low unemployment and record market highs.

So what were the democrat policies that caused the recession? You have no idea…again!

That’s exactly what you said about Republican policies and I proved you wrong

1. Increased taxes (makes everything more expensive)
2. Absurd regulations (burdens businesses with costs that they then pass on to the consumer) such as:
   1. Dodd-Frank WallStreet Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2011)
   2. Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (2011)
   3. Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act (2011)
3. Raising minimum wage (again - burdens businesses with an unnecessary cost that they then pass on to the consumer)
4. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (printing out trillions and throwing it around devalued the dollar)

The next post in which you don’t lie will be the first post in which you haven’t lied. I’ve been able to cite policies for both. You lose.

 

[P@triot]

October 2011 wasn’t “the first 6 months”. Derp! Can’t do math. Derp! Derp!

The chart you can’t read () directly from Obama’s own administration:

It’s ok…we all understand that this material is way above your mental capacity to grasp. Don’t feel bad. You’re vote Democrat for a reason. It’s not your fault. You can’t help you were born a tad slow. Doesn’t make you a bad person

 

[Orangecat]

Gee why am I not surprised you don’t even have a solution to fix the problem.

What do you think the problem is?

 

[P@triot]

Oh and your timing is completely wrong anyway. In January of 2010, the unemployment rate went down below 10%. It went even lower in February. In March of 2010 it was 9.7%.

Yet again, your illiteracy trips you up and causes you to stumble. Your poor reading comprehension continues to cause you to respond to things that were never said. I would strongly encourage you to take reading comprehension courses at your local community college and get extra tutoring while enrolled in those courses.

In post #506 we clearly see that I stated unemployment never went below 9% under October 2011. Your response is “your time is wrong, unemployment went below 10% in 2010”. No shit. The problem is, I never said when it went below 10%. I said 9%:

The graph shoots UP “mid 2009” (in quotes because I’m quoting you). It doesn’t go below 9% until October 2011
