Are you kidding? Obama didn't reform anything. Everything he did in all those categories was to strengthen the status quo. The objective of Obamacare for example was to protect the profits of the Insurance companies, medical practices owned by the AMA, and the drug industry. Banking reform? hahahaha. Nope. Climate change, paper tiger. Energy? Nope.

Since the Democrats are hellbent on nominating Hillary, this is certainly a possibility, if not a likelihood.

The goal of Obamacare was to increase the number of insured. It did that in spades. It also kept premium increases down, which used to be double-digit.

Dear. This is exactly what I said. The law forces Americans to do business with the insurance industry. But it does nothing to improve medical care, because the plans that many can afford have such draconian terms nobody can use it.

Thing is, for the middle class who work & pay taxes, they can't afford it. This is why, by huge margins, the working-middle class has abandoned the Democrats.

It was burdell who changed the subject

Last I checked we were discussing the ridiculous notion the GOP will win 47 states, not Trump contracting with private businesses to create clothing..

I know, its hard for you guys to follow along, even though these threads rarely go passed 10 pages..

If Hillary ever won , we would be destroyed for being stupid to put her in the whitehouse.. she wouldn't protect 4 guys from a terrorist attack.. what makes anyone think she could protect this country.
