Also, the Medciare Part B going up was for 30 percent of Part B participants because there was no COLA adjustment this year. If there is COLA incrase, then the premiums are taken from the COLA but because there is no inflation, in trigger an increase. This was from a law from 2005 I think.

Shifty Pony posted:One major problem is that the COLA depends on CPI-w was a measure of inflation and that doesn't in any way reflect how retirees actually spend (most glaringly only 6.15% of the index is healthcare related, and 19.4% is transport). I agree with you but to put that at the feet of Pres. Obama is silly.

Aerox posted:A couple hours ago someone leaked a giant ~100 slide internal Bush campaign Powerpoint presentation to US News outlining goals, strategies, and data. Internal polling data, ad strategy, vote goals -- really interesting stuff and I'm sure he's livid it got leaked. As someone who has done this for a years, they have some good stuff in there but: 1) There is a lot of DON'T PANIC! going on in there which means they are hearing from not only donors but long time grassroots supporters. 2) I don't know why they are obsessing over Trump's quote on GWB. My general feeling is that this won't be an election on national security and quite frankly they are taking the wrong lesson away from that line of attack. The more they dwell on it the more it's a story. 3) They are clearly worried about Rubio. 4) Jeb is still not polling well in key states and is 3 or 4 candidates behind, so their net favorability and 2nd choice means nothing really. Anyways, that's my thought.

evilweasel posted:Yeah "look, once you add up first and second choice voters in New Hampshire...we're still getting shithoused by Trump and Carson and it's not even close, but we beat a bunch of other no-hopers!" What;s even worse for those numbers? Huckabee's votes will (most likely) go to Carson, Rand Paul's probably go to Trump. Bush's natural 2nd and 3rd choicers are Christie, Kaisaich, and Rubio. So numerically speaking it doesn't look good.

evilweasel posted:i did it i did it i did it That's actually really weird results if it was republicans because they basically all say, yah clinton has the expierence and cares about me on some level. I just don't trust her. And if that's the case, Bush is fuuuuuucked in a general.

Then you get the people like my mom who still hate her and Bill for the Lewinsky scandal. I'll never understand it.

Trabisnikof posted:Ok, this is pretty hard for Jeb! to survive? right? He is banking on more people paying attention after the new year and that will somehow launch his campaign. Or that Carson and Trump will flame out because of the, you know, insanity. However, JEB! still needs to articulate some sort of reason he is running.

Aurubin posted:What would drive Webb to do that? Pettiness? An overriding desire for unrestricted military adventures? Or is it simply bluster? He was polling at 1 percent in the Democratic primary, he won't have any effect on the election.
