I follow politics all the time. I've seen many interviews with him. Oddly, this is the first time I realized that he was in a wheelchair. I thought maybe he was in a recent accident, but he's been in one since his 20's. I remember watching various addresses by him (usually involving immigration...

Because of the partisan divide, it's dead for the next decade. However, Democrats selling statehood as if it's in the best interest to Puerto Ricans are lying to them. It's in the best interest for their majority. In reality, it severely restricts Puerto Rico's economic freedom.

That 97% result was a boycotted referendum. Puerto Ricans are much more divided on the issue. Even the non-boycotted referendums had low turnouts. The last one was in 2020 at 52%, but only .7/3.2 million Puerto Ricans weighed in. Statehood would be devasting for Puerto Ricans as they would have...

https://time.com/6242054/house-passes-bill-that-would-allow-puerto-rico-to-vote-on-its-statehood-or-independence/ I have a pretty strong opinion on this. The best thing Puerto Rico could do for themselves economically is to remain a territory. The best thing the mainland USA could do for...

I meant to say “not saying a whole lot” lol. I was typing from my phone and didn’t notice the error. Biden, Bush, Obama, and Trump. Yeah, nothing too impressive from the other 3. I will say, Bush takes a lot of blame for the financial crisis, but the bills that led to the subprime lending crisis...

No it wasn’t. The caliphate of ISIS was able to grow there, because Obama didn’t want any presence (even drone strikes in the region). Good debate, but I think we are both talking in circles now lol. And despite all of my criticisms of Obama, in my opinion he’s still the best POTUS we’ve had...

Things switch in and out of network from year to year and prices go up/down from year to year (mostly up in healthcare). Obama’s team knew this. It was called the “Lie of the Year” by a non-partisan organization for a reason.

I told you already that all plans change year to year so the grandfather part was misleading as nothing was left to be grandfathered in. Things switch in and out of network, prices changes, minor tweaks in what’s covered change every single year. However the essence of the plan year to year was...

The point is that it would have been even cheaper if we acted sooner. It took the public beheading of a journalist for Obama to even start discussing them.

There are annual changes to basically all health insurance plans which rendered them obsolete by minor tweaks. Politifact dubbed it their annual "Lie of Year" in 2013: https://www.politifact.com/article/2013/dec/12/lie-year-if-you-like-your-health-care-plan-keep-it/

Time will tell, but I also believe a lot of the inflation we're seeing started under Obama after the financial crisis (with policies continued by Trump/Biden). This has to do with the people at the Fed. Excessive increases in the money supply not backed up by real productivity growth causes...

This is a red herring to my argument. I'm attacking the lie he made about the plan, not the plan itself overall.

Yes it did, because many of those plans no longer fit the healthcare requirements (must insure pre-existing conditions).

I said he didn't act as soon as he should have. ISIS could have grown to be a major threat, but the world acted (including Arab countries). My criticism is that we shouldn't have ever let them get that large in the first place. In my opinion, we should have been doing special operations/using...

My criticism of Obama on Obamacare isn't about its popularity. It's about the blatant lie he made to us. He basically got crushed in the 2014 midterms over it.

Did you want to wait for that? They took over like 1/3 of Syria and 40% of Iraq. It was a giant jihadist training ground hiding in plain site to our intelligence agencies that never should have taken off in the first place if we were on our toes.

It forced a shit ton of plans to end. Never had insurance through the employer. I basically had annual catastrophic insurance through Golden Rule that was continuously renewed. They ended everything, because they wouldn't be able to provide that plan and still take on customers with pre-existing...

Americans are never for war until it's too late. As a leader you need to protect the country, not follow polls on this issue. ISIS was recruiting Americans and radicalizing them over the internet. However, he was even hesitant to use drone strikes at first.

I guess my third criticism was "if you like your plan you can keep your plan" was a giant lie. He knew by implementing Obamacare, many of the plans wouldn't exist anymore. I now buy 364-day long short-term catastrophic health plans, because regular insurance is ridiculously expensive even as a...
