Actually there is a form of dementia that manifests itself in violent outbursts. Would explain a lot.

when the GOP complained about it after Obama said every bill would be posted on line for everyone to see before it was voted on and it wasn't you guys said elections have consequences.

So it was bad then, but okay now. Got it. Hypocrite much?

The GOP plan isn't great, but it's a net improvement over this steaming pile.

The GOP plan that the GOP won't let anyone see, but Jeffy KNOWS its a "net" improvement. Define what is better and what "net" means.

Is 20 million people losing insurance an improvement?

Can you give us the specifics of the bill that will provide the tax cut as well as any other specifics on the bill?

Considering that Lyin Ryan will not let anyone look at the bill nor let the CBO score it before the vote despite repeatedly crying about ACA being voted on without enough time to read it no one but the people that wrote it know the specifics.

Americans are drowning in debt precisely because they think they need new cars rather than used cars,

Americans are drowning in debt because inflation has destroyed stagnant wages.

"Amid soaring inequality and stagnant wages, consumers in the United States collectively accumulated a stunning $34.4 billion in credit card debt during the second quarter of 2016 alone, according to a new report from the personal finance website WalletHub.

In a 2014 study, Demos senior policy analyst Amy Traub found that there is "little evidence that households with credit card debt are less responsible in their spending habits than households that do not have accumulated debt."

"Instead, we see that, among similarly situated low- and middle-income households of working age, factors like education, value of assets to fall back on, insurance coverage and whether a household member has lost a job are among the foremost predictors of whether a household will accumulate credit card debt," Traub continued, referencing data from a national survey of 1,997 households.

For example, households where at least one member has lived without health insurance coverage during some period over the past three years are 20 percent more likely to face credit card debt than their counterparts where members have been insured consistently, the study finds. In addition, survey respondents who possess college degrees are 22 percent less likely to have credit card debt than those with only high school diplomas."

Have fun all you coal miners with no jobs, black lung and now unaffordable coverage.
