Do you actually believe that Trumps campaign encourages violence? What is really discouraging for me that the conservatives are now stretching, spinning and misrepresenting like the left does. Any means to a end. Anything is ethical as long as it gets Trump. For Cruz to blame Trump is validating Move On, Soro's , Black Lives Matter and the rest of the real instigators. Which is kind of ironic since it's Trump being accused of that non sense.
"Punch him in the face...I will pay the legal bills"......?

Cool. I say we just have everyone max out their credit cards and pull out all their home equity. We'll get the economy zooming again in no time.
The views and opinions expressed here are intended for entertainment purposes only and are not intended suggest any particular investment or financial strategy.
That was the Bush years....
Really?? That is the ONLY way to increase prosperity is through forced redistrobution? And you call me an idiot.
I would say the number one inhibitor on current economic growth is poor distribution of the wealth that is being created.

Obama is the most divisive president of my lifetime.
The militant progressives/commies keep getting bolder in their ptotests and riots.
BO so divisive that he won two general elections - 2012 with a 50 percent plus majority...
DT has - what 35 percent of 30 percent...which gives him...10.5 percent...

Universal healthcare! Hopefully Trump drags down so many down ticket republicans that Dems get super majority in Senate and majority in House and they pass this.
Ya but guys like Azalin or J6pack who would see there HC improve dramatically in cost and benefit would be totally against it...

What are you trying to say?
You can read

Why don't you guys just drop the facade and come out and say it....you think BO is just a niqqer and wasn't your President....feel the hate...feels good doesn't it

The party of personal responsibility steps up strong again....

Either of you guys black?

2. This will make it very hard for new, young advisors from breaking in to this industry. If you eliminate the commission based sale of up front A-share mutual funds it will be very hard for them to make money. For instance if you have $5m under management and you tack on a 1% fee that's $50,000 in gross and the average rep sees 40-55% of that. First off how quickly can someone new to the industry accumulate that much in AUM and how will they feed themselves in the meantime? Paying them a salary is an option however bottom lines for many firms is tight to begin with.
You mean the party guys/varsity letter winners from high school who couldn't get a real job - whose real skill is knowing a lot of people to rope in as opposed to actually understanding the economy?

Jobs went overseas due to the high cost of American labor, not because of basic supply side economic policy.,
SS doesn't work - its a con.

The aspect I liked about NR was her insistance the RR be remembered as pragmatic conservative. RR said it was better to have half a loaf rather than none and James Baker and Tip O'Neil negotiated quite a bit of legislation. RR was a compromiser and worked across the aisle. NR did not like her husband being remembered as a conservative demagogue - because he wasn't.

I didn't say it was a great plan. I just said it was a plan. That you don't find it acceptable makes sense in that it takes away your one-note drum-banging of "Where's the plan?"
So - we have two plans - the Trump plan - which is basically exactly what we had before the ACA with some tax breaks and state line tweaks? Employer funded HC for most, those w/o HC left to try to buy insurance on their own?
Since Trump doesn't specifically say this - I am trying to pin down what he is proposing.
If so - do you think what Trump proposes is the best we can do?
The post ACA and pre ACA health care funding and provision model is simply, patently, inarguably, the WORST way to address HC there is. There is almost nothing efficient or business friendly about it. The metrics bear it out...it is the most expensive with the poorest performance for the dollar in the civilized world - and hampers business and mobility.
If Trump thinks all it needs is those bullet points - that is tremendously disappointing for a candidate to run this country. I also find it sad that the first 10 comments from the OP didn't pick up on how shallow it was.
Wonder why you guys hate the people in office.

Let's just say "well collated" are in the eye of the beholder.
Private insurance is bad, but private healthcare providers good? In what fantasy world do you live in to think that there's going to be an incentive for the providers to cut down costs when they know they're dealing with a government bureaucracy for reimbursement?
Just because Canadians don't pay for health insurance directly, doesn't mean it's free or not already factored into the cost of all products produced in Canada.
Get back to your thoughts.
Private insurance is bad, but private healthcare providers good?
There is a difference = Insurance has no incentive to reduce costs - just get more billing.
The reimbursement is a lump sum - therefore the HCP goal is to reduce costs to make margin on that lump sum.
Who said Canada has free health care? I said a car built in Canada and sold in USA has very little HC costs built into it as it is exported.
No.
It was not a plan to you.
No plan on the right will be a plan to you because otherwise you won't be able to keep yelling "But where's the plan?"
So is this just the pre ACA HC structure tweaked? The ACA didn't change the basic structure of HC in the USA.
Please tell me how risk is profiled and spread. Do employers still provide for most people, all people, all people at a certain salary level? How do individuals bargain as compared to pooled risk? How do you cover preexisting conditions? How do you cover the poor, the old? How do you spread the varied risk of a lifetime individually?
People without insurance left to die - or do we pick up the costs in the ER?
Does the Trump plan help our businesses compete internationally?

This is probably the most predictable comment in this thread.
There are countless posts from you bashing the GOP, asking over and over, "Where's your plan?"
Someone puts up a plan and you respond with "That's no plan!!!"
You were made for the party of gatorman.
That was not a plan

Nice job!
Damn - Throw some well collated thoughts into words and it scares everyone off...
-
I'd be interested in hearing any specifics you've got.
I will give it a shot - trying to tie in actuarial principles and as well my experience in public office and as a business owner.
1. Individual policies are non starter - individuals do not have the bargaining power nor the ability to upend the current insurance based model.
2. The employer based model of providing coverage has to go - it kills our ability to export - here is why: Car built in Detroit has the cost of health care built into it - ship that car to Canada - and they will add the GST when you buy it. That car now has the cost of two HC systems built into it. Car built in Windsor and shipped to Detroit has NO HC costs built into the final sale price. Spread this across our entire import export landscape.
3. HC should be accessible to everyone - have we not gone for the lowest common denominator too much already?
4. The insurance based model too has to go. The incentive now is to bill for more - not to reduce costs by keeping people healthy.
So - yes rip it up and start with a clean sheet of paper - get rid of the patch work model of funding and providing HC.
1.I would go for a single payer where the tax/funds whatever you want to call it are taxed at the retail or final sale - call it a GST if you want.
2. This takes out the burden of local state and federal governments and eliminates all the union strings concerning HC.
3. Goods and service prices reduced by cost of HC the business used to have to provide.
4. Imports pay for HC
5. Our export process reduced by 18 percent.
Everyone gets a voucher and buys HC from qualified provider. These providers have to provide a minimum level of basic HC for this sum.
HC providers compete for your subscription. They make money by keeping you healthy and reducing the yearly costs it takes to keep you healthy. Private industry will be on your case to stay healthy - not the government. The private HC companies bargain like hell on drug pricing pricing etc...unlike the free pass they got in the ACA
We spend 2x on HC what other countries do - and it KILLS us in so many ways.
That is a plan - the OP bullet points are just nibbles.....

This isn't a "plan" by any stretch...but you minions eat it right up....

I dont think Trump ever thought he would be where he is now...as someone noted...He will be scared hitless when he gets the nomination.....congratulations Trump supporters and the GOTP....you are electing Hillary.......just as I predicted....and lamented....years ago....

Well Trump has the KKK vote....so there is that

Again, as I've said numerous times on the other football side, hey at least were not Cleveland.
But weird, a city that has been run by democrats for 2 generations in a state that is as solid blue as you can get, that has some of the highest rates of unionization, is on the top 10 most distressed list. Must be purely coincidence..
But I can honestly say thanks to Pegulas evil frac money we are going in the right direction and in better shape than I can remember in my lifetime. One private citizen did more for this city than 40 years of democrats.
Perhaps you should look at the article...the most distressed counties and states are predominantly GOP run...whereas Buffalo as.a city is "distressed" a primary reason is the unusually small footprint....

Tell us again how you're a Republican...
Tell me again how the two examples I laid out aren't clear definitions of activist judgements.....you know....when judges overturn long held legislation....legislated by 435 congressmen, 50 senators and a president overturned by 5 men......but if it fits your POV.....
But continue your MO of coming up with nothing of substance....probably fits your life...
-
Wow. An originalist likely to be replaced by an activist judicial figure. The complexion of the highest court in the land is about to change very significantly.
Activist like overturning hugely ....actually almost unamimous.... bipartison legislation like campaign finance reform and voter rights laws?
-
The difference being that that many Republicans have had it with their party after winning 1. two massive mid-terms and still not doing what they said they'd do. So while the GOP may try to move the needle back to the establishment candidate, they won't be nearly as successful as Democrats, who will do whatever the hell they're told to do, and they'll do it without a fight.
2.Why? Because with Dems in office, taxpayer money trickles to unions, special interests, Acorn-like organizations, Planned Parenthood...more organized, obedient nutsuckers who will gladly put Hillary in so long as they keep getting their 'free' money.
1. What did the GOP say they were going to do? -Or more importantly why do people believe candidates who say things that are never going happen because they are completely impossible - and these voters become alienated and disillusioned when they don't happen and then double down and back even more radical candidates with even more preposterous claims about what they are going to do....
2. You seem smart: I think you need to check the weight of variables....the examples you give - while they may exist - have essentially no real bearing on the economy - or for that matter - peoples lives...Federal Spending is pretty much at the same levels it has been for decades - Federal Revenue is at historical lows - so that tax burden placed on people - is also LOW....The primary things affecting the general populace are the rising cost of healthcare and the lack of growth of middle class wages....
Be nice to see adjustments to rectify those variables...

Well. The title of the thread mentions that GW is a hoax....just trying to understand what we are arguing about....Iguess its the hoax that wealth is being redistributed by Hillsry...You might want to look up some stats...wealth has been tremendously redistributed in the last 30 years of trickle down economics....all the wealth that has been created has distributed its way to the few..but the posters here think its the dems that are pinching their wallet and future...

So pointing out an obviously incorrect statement is racist.....got it.....
