But it's cheap. You can go for a 2-year A.A, degree in a marketable field, and if your family is low income, Pell Grants cover it entirely.

Well, maybe if we weren't importing millions of illegal aliens, we could afford to do some of this stuff.

Yeah that was right there with Obama's promise of good health insurance for about the same cost as your cell phone bill.

If Obamacare is so bad, why does it still exist?

Wonder how many goodies they are going to propose between now and election time.,

We can add universal childcare onto medicare for all and $500 prize each month to Democratic proposals.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/12/kama...e-incomes.html

So far, Kamala is proposing a $500 gift a month for families and Warren is proposing universal childcare that is free for families who make less than $50,000 and no more than 7% of income for those above $50,000

They have also proposed Medicare for All but there is no viable way to pay for it, so they want people to trust them that they know what they are doing.
FREE STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The winners: the takers.


The losers: middle class.

Because it gives free care to low-income people. Democrats don't care that it's breaking the backs of the middle-class. They're all about giving free stuff to low-income people, no matter how many middle-income people are hurt by it.

Announcement: I am stuck home in the snow today, so all you liberals will be the lucky beneficiaries of my pearls of wisdom.

That's all. Carry on.

Republicans had 2 years to get rid of it. They didn't. Quit blaming the Democrats. The ball is in your court now.

Why does Obamacare still exist?

So your admitting that campaign promises are just that and no rational person actually takes them literally understanding that we do not operate under a dictatorship so these declarations and funding for such can not come to fruition on the want or "promise" of one individual?

Because once you give free stuff to people, it's impossible to claw back. Obama knew this.
