How do they plan to PAY for all of that?

You can find economist who will argue what ever you want about the new deal, just saying.

Of course, you know what happens before a tidal wave hits. The ocean recedes.

Since you know how averages work , I'm sure you understand everyone wouldn't be paying that.

We likely would have tiers and if Republican policy actually works , lower drug prices and a removal of regulations that would lower cost.

While "healthcare" isn't simple , both sides have claimed to have had the solution for years and it seems that a combination of the 2 might help.

That might be what you wish to believe, but NONE of them can alter the 7 year long extended length of the depression caused by FDR's policies.

Tiers like what? Some people pay 10-20 times more than others for the exact same thing?

NO ONE will go for that.

The blue wave is still coming. People are sick of the unqualified orange maniac.

tut-tut.

In April, Reuters showed Democrats with a 13-point lead, but now the outlet reports Republicans have surpassed them by around 1.4 points, with 38.1 percent of responders saying they'd vote for a GOP candidate and 36.7 indicating future support of a Democrat.

“Say good-bye to the D-advantage in the generic ballot,” a polling editor for Reuters tweeted. “Our latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that registered voters as likely to support Republicans as Democrats.”

I thought Republicans, and especially Trumplings, said all polls are fake. Why do they believe this one??? Ooooohhh now I remember......it shows statistics that they like. Can't believe I forgot about that.

Truth be told none of these polls will matter in the coming months, not even ones that show Democrats in the lead. They're all irrelevant as anyone can skew them to show whatever they want. Both sides are guilty of it. The only poll that matters is the one that's counted on election day.

The blue wave went out with Hillary Clinton. Whats funny is you actually think your on higher moral grounds than Republicans, when your favorite peace prize winner destroys countries and his designated replacement is married to a rapist, and takes 140 million from the Russians.
