My hunch...

In the minds of political people:  A lot

In reality:  basically nothing

What is your hunch?

Anecdotally I think businesses have started to let loose of their cash and invest.  I think that would have happened with Hillary, too, but it's a positive change.

My hunch is that very little will change, but the question is a little unfair because it takes way more time to implement the policies of an administration, and even longer to actually feel the effects.

Gorsuch. Lots of other things but that's the most important so far. Oh and hasn't the Dow added over 2000 points in less than 6 months? Has that ever happened before? Business loves the Trumpster (well most business - not the ones that rely upon expanded and illegal immigration). Speaking of which, illegal immigration down something like 65% since Trump took office?

Well were not racking up more debt so that benefits the entire country.  We're not throwing all of our money away and letting other countries back out of their committments so that benefits the entire country.  Job growth is improving so that benefits the entire country.  Pretty much everything is better now.  I mean for hard working amercians.  Lazy blacks are probably upset they're not getting free handouts or getting paid to do nothing but sell crack and buy bullets to shoot each other....which by the way is a great way of population control. 

If everyone here would donate $5.00 to buy bullets and send them to the inner cities we'd cut down on unemployment, pollution, crime etc.  Are you willing to do your part libtards?  You say you want a better country here's your chance.

There are 300,000 students who work on J-1 visas annually and this moron thinks there are enough American workers, willing to work temporarily, to fill that void.

1. You don't have to be from another country, those businesses have to use international students to fill the positions.
2. There are a lot of industries who used J1 visa workers. Hotel workers, restaurants, nannies & au pairs. I've seen J1 visa workers on the Maine Turnpike. It is a good way to get skilled, temporary employees.

What it is, is a good way to suppress wage growth, wouldn't have thought you would be in big business's camp on this.

How do J1 visas suppress wage growth?

When you artificially increase the supply of workers you suppress the demand (the wage level it takes to hire your workforce)

Correct. So the standard for suppressing the wage level is simply hiring someone who isn't an American citizen?

Pretty much, if the number of acceptable applicants for these jobs is less than the amount of jobs to be filled, the employers then have to compete for the workers with higher compensation ( more than min. Wage)

Seriously? Of course, that makes up a majority of the work force that the J1 supplements, most J1 visa holders are also college students. Hiring international students is a significant pain in the ass, I'd rather scale them down. Contrary to what dumbass cat27 thinks, they cost more to hire than Americans. There are a litany of reasons why it's increasingly harder for college students to work the traditional summer job like us olds did. College students have many more school obligations in the summer than we did.

All of this is real in the weeds type of stuff the bottom line is "Buy American, Hire American" has nothing in it that will actually save any consequential amount of American jobs. It's jingoistic election rhetoric that is red meat for a particular segment of the population and nothing more. It is going to do more harm to American business than good.

Suppressing wages with any type of addition to the workforce, all work visas, illegals, migrants etc. impacts all wages.  It's a market and is subject to the law of supply and demand.  These guys have just found a way to not have to compete at the expense of every wage earner in our economy

Well, let’s test your cable-news cliche acumen with this little quiz:

If Trump fires Mueller, what kind of crisis will it provoke? (A constitutional crisis.)

If Mueller is fired, what will people take to? (They will take to the streets.)

What kind of lawyers has Mueller hired? (Career prosecutors.)

At the State Department, who is appalled by the new administration? (Career diplomats.)



What kind of compass does Trump lack? (A moral compass.)

Where is the president’s sanity being questioned? (Globally.)

What kind of past is Trump trying to return the nation to? (An ugly past.)

What is it called when Republicans cave to Democrats? (A compromise.)

What do you call Democrats screaming at Trump voters and calling them every name in the book? (A national dialogue.)

How do you describe a Republican who attacks Trump? (Thoughtful. He evolved … he grew.)

What do you call enforcement of immigration laws? (Racism.)

Is that who we are? (That’s not who we are.)

What kind of immigration reform is Trump opposed to? (Comprehensive.)

What kind of gun control is Trump determined to stop? (Common-sense gun control.)


For extra credit, write me a Washington Post-like sentence spinning the Deep State line about what will happen if the FBI is forced to admit that it corruptly engaged in illegal domestic police-state spying on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016.

“Information being sought by the Republican Congress could risk careers, I mean lives, by exposing top-secret Russian-connected dirty tricksters — er, dedicated career intelligence sources, by crossing a red line and compromising vital national security about Democrat smear campaigns, according to a source, uh multiple sources, who gave thousands of dollars to Obama and Clinton and are now worried about being indicted and losing their phony-baloney hack jobs texting back and forth with their plain-Jane girlfriends and pretending to be cops and spies blah blah blah … .”

Quote

Or consider the North Korea story. A month ago, the plagiarists, tax deadbeats and sexual predators of MSNBC were warning us that Trump’s bellicose rhetoric about Kim Jong Un as Little Rocket Man would lead to World War III.

Then Trump gets the hostages released and Sen. Chuck Schumer starts thundering that the president is being too polite to dictators. This is the same Schumer, by the way, who railed against the Iran nuclear deal, until Trump deep-sixed it, after which Schumer blasted him for doing exactly what he’d recommended that Obama do.

What happens when you essentially throw the border open to Children, chi?   There's going to be (well there already has been) people who for all matter of thinking, shove their kid out the door to head to the border.   Is that a good situation?   Is having a border free-for-all and/or constantly sending mixed signals a good thing?   Also, smuggling people across the border has been an aggravated felony for a very long time.   

We had a previous administration that deported people like crazy on one side, and essentially invited them in on another.   Great policy.

What happens when you essentially throw the border open to Children, chi?   There's going to be (well there already has been) people who for all matter of thinking, shove their kid out the door to head to the border.   Is that a good situation?   Is having a border free-for-all and/or constantly sending mixed signals a good thing?   Also, smuggling people across the border has been an aggravated felony for a very long time.   

We had a previous administration that deported people like crazy on one side, and essentially invited them in on another.   Great policy.

yeah, that's the obvious (and only) alternative to splitting up families.  :rolleyes:

The adults in the family committed a felony.   When you're apprehended in the commission of an aggravated felony on the Federal level as a U.S. citizen, are you automatically allowed to just hang with your family?

Attempting to avoid U.S. immigration process and law to enter the United States is considered a crime against the State.   As I understand it, an adult engaged in evading U.S. immigration law who attempts to bring minors (or anyone for that matter) into the United States in the process, is classified as a smuggler.

So, is it a new policy or not?

Quote
In a speech before law-enforcement officials in Arizona on Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the federal government seeks to separate parents from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to discourage more crossings.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the policy officially went into effect last week, though hundreds of children have already been taken from their parents in recent months.

I am against a federal policy which tells people to come to the border, and then apprehends them and deports them.   I am also against hidden policies which purposely tells our border enforcers not to apprehend certain illegal crossers. 

In one year alone your hero deported 72K people who claimed they had U.S. born children.   Why didn't your hero think of the children?  Why was there no cataclysmic LibBot outrage, the situation was after all right there in plan sight?

If only there wasn't such abject complicity by legions of Libs for 8 long years. 

All of these issues walk hand in hand with a porous border and the litany of mixed signals given for 8 years by the previous administration.

They are not mutually exclusive.

(To think she was almost President, but still a pillar of the Lib movement)

The previous administrations horrific foreign policy (if you want to call it that) vis-a-vis Central America only worsened the immigration issue.   Again, all of these issues are co-mingled.

Speaking of the lost kids.  Is the Office of Refugee resettlement sending those kids to sponsors, who are themselves illegal?   Do illegals answer phones when the government calls?  Do they show up at court dates?  Was there any reporting 2-3-4 years ago about how kids (parents with resettled kids) with outstanding deportation orders couldn’t be found?

What about court ordered detention periods relative to illegal adults vs children?  Did catch and release (with pending future court date) exasperate the “lost” child issue?  Catch and release was an invitation to cross the border illegally.

What about rates of placement year over year, say over the last 5 years? 

Just another series in selective Lib outrage sure to be followed by a litany of articles “explaining” about how it’s different now.

Strange, never heard from the UN when the previous administration deported 72k people claiming US born children in 2013-14. 

Human smuggling is a crime.  Bringing children across the border is human smuggling.  Does Federal Law allow children to be housed with criminals? 

Is it wise to condone human smuggling?  Have there been any cases of child dumping (or worse) under the failed catch and release programs? 

I know the gurgling SysBot won’t answer the questions.  But anyone else want to give it a shot? 

We can just toss this fake outrage on the heap with the missing children.  Who, in many cases were turned over to illegals facing deportation, who, in a shocking development.  Don’t tend to answer phones or show up for deportation hearings, or report to federal offices.

Or better  yet, reverse the horrific Central American policies of the previous cluster eff of an administrationn(particularly those espoused of the unmitigated disaster of a SOS, Hillary Clinton) and help make Honduras a place that people don't want to flee.   But that doesn't change the fact that human smuggling is illegal and should always be illegal.   Nice avoidance of every other salient point, though.

https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/255396/Pre-ExistingConditions.pdf (https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/255396/Pre-ExistingConditions.pdf) it comes from this which says on page 2.  It does seem a bit misleading to say 'may have a pre-existing condition' but does illustrate how unhealthy americans are at scale.

Quote
Key Findings:
? Up to 133 million non-elderly Americans—just over half (51 percent) of the non-elderly
population—may have a pre-existing condition. This includes 67 million women and girls
and 66 million men and boys.

? The likelihood of having a pre-existing condition increases with age: up to 84 percent of
those ages 55 to 64—31 million individuals—have at least one pre-existing condition.

? Among the most common pre-existing conditions are high blood pressure (46 million
people), behavioral health disorders (45 million people), high cholesterol (44 million
people); asthma/chronic lung disease (34 million people), heart conditions (16 million
people), diabetes (13 million people), and cancer (11 million people).

? Between 2010 and 2014, when the ACA’s major health insurance reforms first took
effect, the share of Americans with pre-existing conditions who went uninsured all year
fell by 22 percent, meaning 3.6 million fewer people went uninsured.

? Tens of millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions experience spells of
uninsurance. About 23 percent (31 million) experienced at least one month without

The right has embraced the Russian state they spent decades and decades complaining about

Meanwhile 30,000 NATO troops with a huge US presence train on the Russian border, the US is trying to thwart Russian client state Iran at every turn, and NATO as a whole is spending more on defense.

We spent two days to obtain a text and commitments. We will stand by them and anyone who would depart from them, once their back was turned, shows their incoherence and inconsistency.

International cooperation cannot depend on fits of anger or little words. Let us be serious and worthy of our people.

https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/255396/Pre-ExistingConditions.pdf (https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/255396/Pre-ExistingConditions.pdf) it comes from this which says on page 2.  It does seem a bit misleading to say 'may have a pre-existing condition' but does illustrate how unhealthy americans are at scale.

Quote
Key Findings:
? Up to 133 million non-elderly Americans—just over half (51 percent) of the non-elderly
population—may have a pre-existing condition. This includes 67 million women and girls
and 66 million men and boys.

? The likelihood of having a pre-existing condition increases with age: up to 84 percent of
those ages 55 to 64—31 million individuals—have at least one pre-existing condition.

? Among the most common pre-existing conditions are high blood pressure (46 million
people), behavioral health disorders (45 million people), high cholesterol (44 million
people); asthma/chronic lung disease (34 million people), heart conditions (16 million
people), diabetes (13 million people), and cancer (11 million people).

? Between 2010 and 2014, when the ACA’s major health insurance reforms first took
effect, the share of Americans with pre-existing conditions who went uninsured all year
fell by 22 percent, meaning 3.6 million fewer people went uninsured.

? Tens of millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions experience spells of
uninsurance. About 23 percent (31 million) experienced at least one month without
insurance coverage in 2014, and nearly one-third (44 million) went uninsured for at least
one month during the two-year period beginning in 2013.

A little misleading???? The tweet implied 130,000,000 americans would no longer have access to insurance. That's a lie.

It has long been a misdemeanor federal offense to be caught illegally entering the country, punishable by up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine. But previous US administrations generally didn't refer everyone caught for prosecution. Those who were apprehended were put into immigration proceedings and faced deportation from the country, unless they qualified to pursue an asylum claim.
Sys - do you know if the people previously put into immigration proceedings remained in detention during the duration of the proceedings?  If so, did they remain with their children?

The logistics of the process seems like a nightmare.

i don't know specific policies.  i've talked to people that crossed/tried crossing.  for just like a normal economic migrant apprehended at the border, so no criminal record, non-asylum seeker, verifiable mexican national, they described being rapidly returned to mexico.  sometimes just at the border, sometimes flown to mexico city.  not sure on the exact time frame, but it always sounded like a matter of days if not hours.  this would have been pre 2010.

Let me help you out.

Quote
President Obama said the shooting death of a black teen by a white police officer last month in Ferguson, Missouri, exposed the racial divide in the American justice system that “stains the heart of black children.”

Speaking at the annual Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner in Washington on Saturday night, Mr. Obama said the death of Michael Brown “awakened our nation” to a reality that black citizens already understood.

“In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement,” Mr. Obama said. “Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement — guilty of walking while black or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.”

I agree with what Barack Obama said. In my opinion, the argument is about whether or not Michael Brown should have been shot and killed. Was he reaching for the officers gun in an attempt to kill the officer? Did it warrant him being killed? Would it be the same had a white person been the perp?

Bucket, I just care about our boys in blue more than you do. They have an extremely tough job. Some are corrupt like many politicians and some are not. Hope you can understand that in this day of age.

I’m not negating a social divide that’s lasted for centuries. Black ppl are scary to white ppl, especially cops, because they’ve seen some crap unfortunately. Call it racism or self defense, but you’ve never lived a day as a cop with some of the on the scene moments they have to decide. That dude didn’t deserve to be killed, but he wasn’t a great person also.

When did Obama ever dog whistle anyone? When did he give racists a platform?

Obama separated children from possible human traffickers. Trump separated them from their parents.

Canada is the enemy because their president has a 33% approval rating?

Clap Back.

Lol, you just completely ignore the Geo Repatriation that the Obama administration undertook which took away the patriarch, shipped them 1000 miles away, sent them back across the border in unfamiliar and dangerous areas.   Many times greeted with bodily harm or worse, sometimes considered spies and informants by resident gangs. 

The same goes with questions/interrogating unaccompanied minors and then sending them back.  Considered spies and informants by gangs. 

Obama not dog whistling is laughable, Hope and Separation.

I didn't bring up the repatriation. It's incredibly sad whether or it happened today or under the current administration. Not sure why you brought it up.

Please provide examples of dog whistling. Are you suggesting "Hope" was a dog whistle of some sort?

1. Yes, the previous president deported a lot of people (he got killed for that by the way) but he also started the DREAM Act. This president's immigration reforms have not been reforms at all.
2. Political corruption has been an issue for as long as the country has existed and people have always cared about it, that's ridiculous to say otherwise. There has only been one person to run on "draining the swamp" only to see corruption in the executive branch as high as it's been since Nixon.
3. lol Turkey? I was unaware of any other president literally moving troops out of harms way so that one county can attack our allies, it's literally never happened.
4. Your last point, as inartfully as you put it, was the worst of all. This entire country has cared about immigrants, it's literally what the country was based on and allowed all of you pasty fucks to be here.

The fact that three years into this disaster that trump supporters are focused on whataboutism instead of his actual accomplishments is the ultimate hit dog hollering.

No doubt.  MAGAs don't have a lot in the mkt.  He can run on guns/abortion/immigration all day.  trump touts the stock mkt so your average maga who quietly only cares about guns and immigration can feel like a pro business wall street type when he pulls the lever.

In the arena of public health policy I think pursuing a policy that will help like 10-15 people is pretty bad and dumb. Very few people that just lost their incomes are going to be able to get on and pay $800+/mo for a high deductible plan. And telling people in the middle of a plague to “go to that website and pick the best plan for you and your website” is so callous and detached Hillary Sounds like Marie Antoinette, which would bring me to my next point but I don’t think I can post that.

i admittedly don't know all of the details, but there are subsidies for low income purchasers.  and in the middle of a plague is precisely when it would be most beneficial to expand access to coverage, even if it is at a relatively high cost.

If we learn anything from all this, I hope it is that means testing everything in the middle of a disaster actively harms way more people than it helps and is actually an evil thing to do. A few simple answers would go a long way. I think all the enthusiasm for the SBA loan program is going to quickly be swallowed up by this problem (and also it being woefully too small),  it health care is just such an obvious case I’d rather you just acknowledge this one.

I'm confused as to why you all progressives only favor m4a, or why you think there's only one m4a model. Or why you think any m4a model proposed is "superficial and tiresome," if you also think the current system is broken, and your only alternative is to go to a plan that already failed. Am I misunderstanding your usage of superficial, given you haven't broken down the failings of the various m4a plans? Am I misunderstanding your usage tiresome given that you haven't conveyed a proven alternative?

I just don't understand such a disdain for a plan that is a clear alternative to what we have that everyone agrees isn't close to the answer and is part of the reason we're in this current situation. Your view on any m4a plan seems to be dripping with some unsaid agenda. We are clearly at a throw crap against the wall and see what sticks situation when it comes to health care in this country, Obamacare didn't.

Also since you said you didn't remember the details of the subsidies of obamacare, again also an odd thing to acknowledge given you're calling other proposals superficial and tiresome, the subsidies essentially consisted of offering really bad plans, with high copays and deductibles, with limited benefits, for cheaper rates. Insurance companies claimed to be losing money on those plans, more people could afford to have an actual plan, but the issue of affording medication and copays and or coinsurance never got addressed. Obamacare failed because their was no way for the insurance companies to protect their profits and there were no price controls to make health care cheaper for the consumer. The only winner it produced was the administration, that could tout higher enrollment rates. That's not even getting into the newly imposed tax penalties for not being insured. It ultimately was a half baked compromise that was designed to not shake the tree of the health care industry, that can't work.

I'm not a m4a proponent, although I do favor a government takeover of the entire health care system, but I wouldn't dare denigrate it when comparing it to the status quo or a program that failed because it was too similar to the status quo.

Not an insurance expert by any means, but doesn’t it make more sense to potentially expand COBRA or Medicaid instead of new policies because folks might need them?

It makes a complete joke of insurance if the government forces companies to let people get a new policy at the very moment they need it. If that’s what you’re going to do the relief should just come directly from the government instead of filtering it through heavily federally subsidized insurance companies.

If there were 10 ventilators and 20 people in need, some people in this thread would think that 10 people should have ventilators. Other people in this thread would be like, "well, we don't have 20 ventilators, so I really don't care if 10 people die or 20 people die."

Incidentally, you can enroll in Obamacare at any time if you lose your job. That's a good thing, even if it's nowhere near the most desirable thing.

honestly it's crazy how politicians don't realize how impactful the cost of health insurance through the exchanges is
This is really all I meant. Politicians who support maintaining the status quo seems to acknowledge that it's really rough ridin' expensive for the average American and that's without when getting any health care. I mean I guess you probably wouldn't say something you support is really rough ridin' expensive even if it's better than nothing. But still

it takes political capital to do anything. If your opening bid is woefully insufficient to the need, then it may actually be more harmful medium to long term than to continue to work for a sufficient, better long term solution. I am happy to discuss this instead of more crap posting from both sides.

Yeah, I get that but I think the healthcare industry is so big in the country that gutting it will kill the economy and leave a lot of working class Americans without jobs. So control the prices for the industry and cap profits and executive salaries, that way that industry can continue to exist, but expand medicaid.

I'm confused as to why you all progressives only favor m4a or why you think there's only one m4a model.

probably because my brain has been rotted by exposure to twitter bernie bros who've spent the last year telling everyone that anything other the m4a is equivalent to murdering the poor.


Or why you think any m4a model proposed is "superficial and tiresome,"

i don't think m4a is superficial and tiresome i think the way american progressives (meaning rose twitter + sanders and warren as presidential candidates) talk about it is superficial and tiresome.  i'm pretty agnostic on m4a.


you also think the current system is broken, and your only alternative is to go to a plan that already failed.

i don't agree that obamacare has failed - it has expanded access and i believe the evidence suggests that it has bent the cost curve a little bit.  nonetheless, you are mistaken in assuming i think continuing with some form of obamacare is the only alternative or the most desirable alternative.


Your view on any m4a plan seems to be dripping with some unsaid agenda.

my "agenda" is mostly that i think the emphasis on health care policy over the course of the primary was generally stupid since it is abundantly obvious that there will not be the votes in congress to make any large scale changes during the next four years.

and then also that i dislike how people frame and discuss the issue, as mentioned above.


I'm not a m4a proponent, although I do favor a government takeover of the entire health care system.

i'm also more favorable about a govt run hc system (or partially govt run) than an m4a type arrangement, although i think that any discussion that doesn't start with an acknowledgment that countries around the world have wildly different systems and most of them work better than us hc does either is dishonest or reflects a viewpoint so ideologically fixated that i don't trust any diagnosis of us problems that might result.
