Perfectly reasonable to require able bodied Medicaid recipients to work and pay premiums just like the rest of us who actually work and have to pay premiums from insurance we get from our own jobs.  Not sure why this is so controversial. 

2018 should still be very strong for the market and I predict another 10-15% gain since the tax bill opens the way for repatriation of overseas cash which will inject a massive amount of capital into the economy.  The economy is still smoking with unemployment remain at 4.1% with  record lows in...

Those job cuts are workers involved in the Direct TV acquisition.    Job cuts after mergers are unavoidable but the overwhelming balance is quite positive (AT&T committed to creating 7,000 new jobs as well). Say what you want about Trump, but he has had one of the most successful first years...

Let the trickle down begin: AT&T announces $1,000 bonus for 200,000 workers. Comcast also announces $1,000 bonus for 100,000 workers and pledges $50 billion over five years for infrastructure investment adding thousands of jobs Boeing pledges $300 million investment in worker training...

You mean like these folks?   https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/12/20/att-says-gop-tax-bill-will-mean-1000-bonuses-for-200000-employees/ As a bonus, after years of rising crime and murder rates under Obama,  violent crime is in decline after only a year under Trump.

I actually agree, drug testing is a dumb idea.  They should just limit the duration that people can be on SNAP (like a year or so) and/or require evidence of actively looking for work or having current employment.

Franken really should not have resigned, but he got thrown under the bus by his own party in order to put pressure on Trump which is a useless gesture and a dumb move since it puts a competitive Senate seat in play 2 years early (Trump only lost Minnesota by 1.5%). No wonder Democrats are so...

Raising corporate taxes is the last thing you want to do.  Companies will simply shift their home headquarters to a foreign country with a more favorable tax rate.  Under Obama, there was a record number of companies that underwent "corporate inversions" where they would merge with another...

Too many people get their talking points from biased news sources which is overwhelmingly left leaning, so of course the tax bill is being panned in the media.  An yes, I also count Fox News as biased to the right but the fact remains most mainstream media is overtly sympathetic to the...

Nice. Market should hit another record high on Monday.

Did you ask for one? Most organizations don’t just offer to pay you more if you seem content with your current salary. With the economy the way it is, now’s the time to ask or look for a better job.

Another market record high today. Looks like the economy likes the new tax bill.

Another stock market record high today with unemployment at 17 year lows.  Record Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales indicating continued rising consumer confidence.  Meanwhile Democrats continue to spin their wheels over "Russian interference" (which essentially was a public service exposing...

So in the end, the Russians tried subvert American democracy.... by revealing how the Democrats rigged their own Democratic process for nominating their presidential candidate.  Got it. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/02/politics/donna-brazile-dnc-book/index.html

Trump going after institutionalized racial discrimination at universities: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/us/politics/trump-affirmative-action-universities.html

If health care were a patient, Obamacare would be killing him with a thousand cuts, while Trumpcare wants to end his misery with a stab to the heart.  Health care is in a death spiral in this country and as much as I absolutely loathe to say it, the only way out may be universal health care...

It speaks volumes that in this forum, not even a single mention about the assassination attempt at Republican Congressmen by a deranged Democratic supporter.  It is disingenuous to blame Trump for inciting violence in his supporters yet to ignore the fact that Democrats are also responsible for...

Lots of handwringing over withdrawing from a largely symbolic pact which is completely voluntary with no enforcement and largely was just wealth redistribution on a global scale with billions siphoned out of the US economy.    Nothing is stopping corporations, individual states, or cities from...

Too bad the Democrats have no imagination.  Trump is not a mainstream Republican and has an ego that's very easy to stroke.  They easily could have worked with him to further selective parts of their agenda (after all Trump has no qualms about deficit spending) counter to the agenda of...

Ironically, it is many people here that likely will benefit more from the Republican plan.  The fatal flaw in Obamacare which anyone with common sense could see a mile away (and I myself posted heavily on this is the past before it became mainstream) is that it completely disincentivized young...
