Do dems want broke millenials to vote repub even though we're not racist? Wtf is wrong with the dems, seriously?

Willa Rogers posted:

yup; they overestimated americans' willingness to pay massive deductibles on top of massive premiums, they overestimated americans' willingness to adapt to "narrow networks" and balance billing; and they overestimated congress's future willingness to further subsidize insurance companies with reinsurance payment schemes that were termed out instead of appropriated into perpetuity.

bad dems = bad laws that are subject to the whims of an ever-changing congress--kinda like how obama traded the extension of "bush's" tax cuts for the "middle class" in exchange for a year's worth of extended unemployment comp.
It's not really unwillingness, it's the inability to afford it.

Seems pretty good, he basically says the debt can go gently caress itself. Which is cool and good.

Obama's main economic agenda was "get new training with debt" and "move"

Hello!

My name is _____ ______ III and I am a student at Michigan State
University in the James Madison College. I am seeking a double degree in
Political Theory/Constitutional Democracy and Social Relations/Policy with
a minor in Public Relations. While here at Michigan State University, I am
affiliated with College Democrats, the Alexander Hamilton Society, Common
Sense Action, and much more.

When Hillary Clinton, formally, announced her bid for the 2016 Presidential
Election I was beyond excited and began to think on how I can help her get
into office. I have developed a proposal that I hope can be set in action
by fall of this year:

*I propose that Hillary Clinton open a Michigan Campaign Office, and I
would be happy to run it. *

Running for President of the United States is an intense job that requires
the assistance of willing citizens across the nation. You may think that I
am just a college student and there is no way that I can run a campaign
office, but I am sure that my experience will remove that doubt.

Throughout my high school career (all 4 years) I served as a
district/campaign intern for my State Representative - Stacy Erwin Oakes.
This position included: extensive communication with constituents (phone,
email, face-to-face), canvassing, attending coffee hours, attending
political meetings, *helping run the office*, and much more.

Once I came to Michigan State I served as a legislative intern (1 year) for
State Representative Adam Zemke. My duties included: extensive
communication with constituents (phone, email, face-to-face), research and
analysis on laws/bills. briefing, attending committee meetings, attending
session, making tributes, and scheduling.

I am currently working on a large project that will help benefit the state
of Michigan: Washtenaw community will soon accept President Obama's
call-to-action called My Brother's Keeper. Representative Zemke and I are
just getting started but we have laid out the foundation to accepting this
call to action - setting up meetings, drafting bills, and making sure it
is in the budget.

If I have not sold you yet it is probably due to my lack of Washington
experience, but that is soon to come. I am pleased to have secured
*two *internships
on Capitol Hill this summer. For the first half - May and June - I will
serve as a press intern in Congressman Kildee's Office. For the second half
- July and August - I am pleased to be a legislative intern in Senator
Stabenow's Office.

When I tell people that I will help get Hillary Clinton into office, they
tell me there is no way that she will make it. I do not take rejection very
well and when people tell me that it makes me want to work *twice *as hard
to do my job. If this proposal is accepted, you will receive nothing but
the best from me. To conclude, as you can see, I will be in Washington for
the entire summer so if you would like to schedule a time to meet/discuss
my thoughts in more depth I would be glad to do so.

Thank you for reading my email and enjoy your day!

The plan is being heralded as a move towards a universal basic income in the United States

basically a substantial tax cut for those with low-lowish middle income

Well, for starters, the same people who are now criticizing Obama also criticized Hillary, and you / your confederates berated them for that also. Second, the reason people who criticize Obama from the left aren't as vocal about Republican corruption because they consider GOP irredeemable and not worth their time. Third, I've made several long posts explaining why this controversy is part of a broader issue, and not an isolated incident, which you have conveniently decided to ignore.
