If they would stop crying wolf at everything Trump initiates people might actually come back to the Dems side and consider them in 2020 but this dooms day sky is falling alarmist shouting is getting really old.

They need to be more rational and work with the current administration toward a better America.
Deep cuts to Medicare, trillions in debt as a result of this giveaway to the elites. Trickle down doesnt work, never has. You can claim that you are sure this time it will be different, but 40 years of records should make you reconsider.

If you Obama lovers had not screwed up the Insurance market maybe us people who actually pay would not be $1500+ a month for a policy.

That program was broke way before Trump took office.

The left continue to stretch to trash what is fundamentally good economic news. Check out this link, Shareholders Major AAL American Airlines Group Inc including Fund and Institutional for the 'shareholders', remembering how many individual investors and individuals who are dependent on pension funds (public and private) are represented by the "shares owned" in the link. The left can only snark.

Lol.
The only thing the insurance companies will do is they will increase rates for everybody else. That's the result of young and healthy skipping insurance.

Their hate for Trump spills over into any good economic news. They are blind to the news.

Sorry to disappoint you I have not screwed up any insurance markets, the HC in this country has been broken for ages.

We recently had a 2:30 hour ER experience, nothing major, 8k total. If you think these costs will evaporate without major change and regulation you are delusional.

More bad news for Liberals.


American, Southwest Airlines Promise $1000 Tax Bill Bonus | Fortune

This is exactly what we liberals warned you right-wingers about!!!

Remember what the right-wing claimed??!! That the tax bill will spur new investment and new hires??? Remember that???!!!!

Then we liberals said no, it will just turn into bonuses and stocks buy back. Remember that???? Do you guys???

Guess what? We are right again.

There is little to no new hiring or investment or any of those things that really grow the economy. There is just bonuses and stocks purchases. Exactly what we said would happen.

Now, is bonuses bad? Of course not. But if your goal was just to give money back to the worker bees, then why not do what Obama did and just give a tax cut to the middle class??????!!!!!!! Huh???? Why go this round-about way and give the tax cut to the rich and then let the rich trickle the money down???? It is much less efficient than just giving the tax cut straight to the middle class right?? Right??!!!

On Fox yesterday they had a clip of CBS News talking to three different couples about the new tax cut bill. They all said they were worried, assumed they would be paying more because of the way it has been reported. Then a tax guy or economist (I wasn't paying close attention) did their taxes and they all saved pots of money! Needless to say, they were shocked. I think CBS was embarrassed.
