Hysterical Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for December 1st:
Bottom Line: These are your daily doses of nonsense from the generally godless, soulless and slanderous (GSS) media...
Trump & the Self-Destruction of American Democracy Thomas Edsall, New York Times
The low hanging fruit here is to point out once again that the NY Times still hasn't figured out that the United States of American isn't a Democracy. Or that there's no such thing as an actual Democracy anywhere in the world. But instead I'll speak to the "destruction" we've suffered with due to President Trump Here we sit with:
Best economic growth in twelve years
Lowest base unemployment rate in nearly 17 years
Lowest real unemployment rate in 11 years
Best wage growth in at least 10 years
Record stock market performance
Record high investment and retirement account balances
If that's what destruction looks like, I'll take seconds please.
Earth to Bernie. Socialist, Democrat, Democratic-Socialist (assuming there's still a difference?), whatever you are today, you're out of power. This just in, those who win elections drive the agenda. But thanks for playing.
Tax Bill Makes Dangerous Changes to Federal Health Care Sarah Kliff, Vox
Sarah Kliff at Vox is running the risk of being expelled by the GSS media. You're supposed to lie about what happened to healthcare in this country under Barack Obama. You aren't supposed to tell the truth as to why the average American is paying 90% more for annual healthcare costs today (compared to prior to Obamacare becoming law). You aren't supposed to call it federal health care, exposing the (not-so) Affordable Care Act for the government takeover of healthcare that it really is.
You're damned straight that repealing the federal mandate that forced us into this nightmare that has resulted in 42 million Americans per year paying an average of $6500 for health insurance say they couldn't afford any healthcare. And if you're any more honest you'll actually mention that the reason the mandate repeal is in a tax bill is because the fraud known as the Affordable Care Act was actually the largest tax increase in American history. You'd better start looking for a job...
