I well know when it was first used, both occasions are major events in history.
True. However, infamy is generally not regarded as a good thing. From Google:
in·fa·my
ˈinfəmē/
noun
the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed.
"a day that will live in infamy"
synonyms: notoriety, disrepute, ill fame, disgrace, discredit, shame, dishonor, ignominy, scandal, censure, blame, disapprobation, condemnation More
an evil or wicked act.
"one of history's greatest infamies"
But like I said...any way you wish to describe it.
So will one of you geniuses explain how Trump plans to keep protections for preexisting conditions and also repeal the individual mandate.
The geniuses here told you what was going to occur years ago. You say this as if the mandate is actually doing something. It's not working which is why Obamacare is failing.
The GOP has spent 6 years screeching at the top of its lungs that Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced. The problem is, they never had much of a plan for the replace. So now it is something that they absolutely must do because they said so many times that they would do it -- but it's not going to be an easy thing to do.
The problem is that this is not food stamps or medicaid -- people who voted Republican and people who voted Trump are benefiting from Obamacare. If the GOP strips them of their benefits summarily, they will be pissed. Some insurers have struggled to make money under Obamacare, but other insurance companies have thrived under the law and are making record profits.
Obamacare is a mess -- there are too many regulations for employers and it always risked a death spiral of too many sick people signing up and too many insurers dropping out and too many people simply electing to pay a penalty. But the law also had benefits for many people, and they won't realize those benefits until they are ripped away.
The GOP would probably love to repeal the law on day 1 and delay the effect for a year or two while they dream up the replacement. But that would also be a mess because then insurers would drop out pre-emptively and leave a gap before the replacement.
It's going to be a mess and one I am glad I can sit on the sidelines and watch since I voted for Clinton (and I have employer coverage anyway so it doesn't affect me.)
I am not going to take seriously anything anybody who voted for Clinton says. More news on Hillary and her despicable nature:
So her brother is a paid executive on a mining company, in a country both she and Bill LOOTED and left people vulnerable to die in a major hurricane, and she opposed energy independence here.
What a loser on so many fronts, and I wonder how anybody could have supported her unless they had their heads buried in the sand.
There is a new sheriff in town, and things WILL get fixed-including those despicable 1600 pages of bribery nobody read until they voted for them-and the mandate will be gone. NO MORE FORCED PURCHASES OF PRODUCTS PEOPLE DON'T WANT FROM THE NANNY STATE.
