Most of the people in my peer group make between 80-140K per year. Most have kids in college or have kids who will be going to college. 30-40% of us either don't work for a company that provides health insurance or we're self employed....either way we have to provide our own.

100% of us saw our premiums double, the coverage (& service) get worse & the deductible jumped up (to unacceptable levels). My family's premium went from $800 per month to over $1500 per month. (the first two years of OCare)

We went from an almost upper middle class family to a lower middle class family with the stroke of a pen. (& we knew damn well that we were paying for the healthcare of others). Those that work for a company that furnished healthcare didn't see this (or didn't see as much of an impact). Then we find out our kids don't qualify for college grants (that others got) because our "Income is too high".

The anger felt toward Obama & the Democrats from most everyone I knew was absolute. The silliness expressed by many (transgendered bathrooms and possible p*ssy grabbing 20 years ago) p*ssed us off even more (towards the whiners, the democratic candidates and the Media) when contrasting these silly news items with my health insurance bill of 18K per year (which was more than my P&I mortgage payments). Hilary and Dems were absolutely clueless.

If Pee Wee Herman or Felix the Cat had told me that they was going to (try) to kill Obamacare & provide a middle class tax cut, I would have voted for either one of them over Hil or Barak.

....& they blame it on the Russians.
Yep. My health insurance cost are more than my mortgage payments would be if I still had the mortgage. Thing is I use my house every day; never had to use the insurance portion of my health insurance. (never met the 5,000 dollar deductible. Obamacare never addressed health COSTS.

It's is in complete meltdown mode and falling apart. Sanders and Biden will both be on life support in a year and they have no one up and coming that can replace them and they are 2 of the only good Democrats. Megamillionaire Pelosi and Schumer are bigger corporate shills than any Republican. THey are Hillary-lite.


This is exactly right. What are the Democrats offering? Russian Conspiracy Theories and Identity Politics. I think they need to reverse course quickly if they want to become relavent.

And no one forced you to buy that house and threatened you with a fine if you didn't.

Because she ran guns to their enemies. That's what happens when you get involved in other nations civil wars. The other side will try and kill you.

IMHO, as a liberal Democrat, I believe that Billary effectively sold the Democratic Party out to the Bankers, Financiers and Wall Street Investors over the last 40 years. They really did, along with the Republicans you would expect to sell out working people, change this economy from manufacturing (except military and some high tech, to investment and money manipulation. That pretty much left working people frozen out of the economy and politics.

Current trends in the Democratic Party are leading to much more support of working people of all range of color or religion. The losers will be the Wall Street monopolists and the Republican Bible thumping hypocrites that put money for the few over plenty for all. The best thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party is the election of Saint Donald the Greedy to the Presidency. That proves that Mammon does have a sense of humor.
