10. Obama left $350 billion on the table for homeowners

Feb 2016

It was tarp and it was earmarked for homeowners but Obama's team didn't want to "make the decision" to activate it and Bush wouldn't do it because it was transition. Well, the banks got theirs but the homeowners didn't. Also, ACA is a step in the right direction I guess but I know many lower middle class people who cannot afford it. It helps the poor but not the working poor a whole lot. I know, I've got a brother in the $30,000 a year range. His medical costs through ACA are astronomical. Somebody has to pay. And 20 m people still don't have any healthcare. So love ACA if you want and I won't disagree, but it isn't what we need. People forget what Obama campaigned on and then what he actually tried to do. He was all for cutting social security. Funny how he's acting on all those liberal impulses since Warren has given establishment democrats permission to go for something better. How many times have you heard "rigged" since she introduced it? She started the fire. Bernie will keep it going.
