Who has said the roll back on net neutrality are a good thing?  I am guessing everyone but Jay has a big issue with it.

As far as the pipelines, it is good for business and the area I live in.  Bottom line.

I don't.

Do you get a special green fee rate.  That would be hard for me, say what, I don't get to play for free.

It's easy to worry about the environment when your paycheck doesn't depend on it or even benefits from it. And obviously a lot of people are against it because the other side is for it. But man I've seen it first hand. When the spotted owl was protected my distant family in Washingon were out of their lumber job. For good. It devastated the local small town economy which depended on that industry.

Aha! 

That's why you hate Rice.

Also, Trump didn't put a dent in the ACA.

Quite an accomplishment, considering his party controls congress, and is 1 state away from being able to unilaterally amend the Constitution. 

Ummm, you do realize that he's only through about 7% of his presidential term, right?

Why in God's green heaven would the Republicans be so politically idiotic to get rid of ACA/"Obamacare" and take responsibility for its replacement? Healthcare in this country is going to crater regardless of legislative action. Why put their name on that disaster when it already has one?  I mean the left took what was essentially the skeleton of a Republican health bill, granted only presented to make the appearance that they had an alternative to the health care being proposed by the Clinton administration, and got full ownership of the wreck when the right disavowed it. And now they get to watch "Obamacare" sink under the weight of the overwhelming health care costs in this country.  All the while the right gets to attack the left for not "compromising" when the right offered their..legislation. They left got played in this deal yet they brag about Trump's failure. Astounding.

Same here but what goes up must come down.  Good thing we have gained some because I think we are in the range where the new "Tax Economy Stimulator Job Bigly Grower" is where they will go to get money to pass up the ladder.

Did I read this wrong, or are you saying all these years of we will repeal, and now this new plan they had were just elaborate ruses knowing Obamacare would fail.  I really don't think they are that smart.  They would put a turd on a plate and call it theirs if they could.

So you think that the way he is going to recoup some of the tax dollars is to go after peoples 401ks, and tax them differently?  If so, won't you and all the others on the left be pumped about this?  Taking from "whatever the left calls rich" we call that California Middle Class, isn't that the lefts wet dream and solution to everything?

Don't confuse pandering to the lowest common denominator as being sincere. But as always...

So that is your answer?  Oh and we have been called far worse than lefty.  Would you rather I call you liberals?  Is there really a difference?

You should thank Bernanke and Yellen for that. Thank your kids too. They'll be the ones that pay for it.

and he got fired.

all it takes is being a blatant nazi-conspirator/sympathizer for it to happen in trump's white house.

of course, they'll always feel right at home attending trump's record-breaking rallies.

Yea I'm sure you'd be much happier if he kept his job.

He also promised a "net spending cut" in one of the debates with McCain, then proceeded to run up an additional ten trillion dollars of debt.

Except Trump was touting the first 100 days thing since his campaign, but then when day 100 approached and he had hardly accomplished anything, he changed his tune and said, "Well, the first 100 days is just arbitrary anyway."

Kind of like the neighborhood kid who got overly competitive when you played kickball, but then when he lost, he said, "I didn't really care about winning anyway."

Come on Taylor...it's not like he published a plan or signed contract...

It doesn't help when you have the GOP Speaker of the House basically against you. There's no love lost between Trump and Ryan.

Just sayin'
