    No. When you prevent insurance providers from discriminating against pre-existing conditions, you remove the incentive for healthy people to remain in the pool, which causes insurance to skyrocket. The only way to stop this is with the individual mandate.

    Also note how much of a scumbag Trump is. His way of destroying Obamacare is by removing subsidies for the poorest, which will have a trickle up effect until nobody can afford insurance. It's a very dirty tactic.

    I was talking about bankruptcy. (And using bankruptcy to drag down other investors and save yourself is not "shrewd.") I want evidence that Trump is a savvy businessman, not a competent $sshole.

    PS

    Why do Trumpies think he's on their side? Funny.

    If you re read your first paragraph and thought it was written by someone else you'd probably conclude that person was insane if he denied it was wealth redistribution. Getting one person, young people, to pay for someone else is wealth redistribution.

    Stop using stupid nicknames. It makes you look stupid.

    As for the rest of what you posted, yes. He's an *******, but an effective one. Isn't it great to be winning again!

    Trump has not yet accomplished anything -- diddly.

    It's funny how people can be brainwashed into thinking Trump has accomplished anything, at least from the long term perspective.

    Trump had a successful launch to his real estate career and holdings in NYC. But long term it all went bankrupt. The banks decided to continue to float him however because he was worth more alive than dead.

    Did you not see the Frontline documentary on Trump and on Hillary? They are both losers.

    It's quite possible he'll screw things up down the road, but he's been good for the economy. That gives me enough confidence to see through his first four years.

    Obama was an average President at best, but if Trump can't get to 3% growth with the rising economy he was handed when he took office, then
    he would be in real trouble. Let's see where he's at in four years. I started bailing on equites this morning because of the Trump confusion and lack of direction on tax reform. The market agreed and dropped over 200 points today.

    When big business draws a line in the sand on his rhetoric - investors better take notice.

    Obama is the lone American POTUS to never reach the coveted 3% mark. And he had 8 years to do so. I think we've found his true legacy.

    At least, so long as obstructionists don't continue to obstruct, or create ridiculously absurd and over the top complaints.

    I like Trump's SCOTUS nomination but that has nothing to do with the economy so you are off topic and desperate.

    If you look at the various ratings by Presidential historians then Obama is quite high while GW Bush is very low.

    You said he'd done nothing. I gave a single example of something he has done.

    But if we're sticking to the economy...he has deregulated businesses, freeing up jobs and growth. It's all about growth, you know.

    As usual you take a statement and lie to make it something it wasn't. Do you people have no shame?

    Really? Why was it rising steadily then while he was still in office? Do you get paid to talk out of your backside? You do it often.

    Unemployment lowest it's been in 16 years. Consumer confidence up, sales up, stock market up, a much higher GDP than in Obama's 8 long and unfruitful years.

    It's called winning.

    Were we still in the Clinton era during the first 9 - 12 months of the Bush Administration?

    Really? Why did Clinton donors tell her they wouldn't give her money if she was going to keep on board Obama's economic advisors?
