Nov 2019

lose your job or your company is taken over by some corporate raider like Carl Icahn?

What will you do then?

Don't think that it can never happen to you because it has and does.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I wish ALL of our Dem candidates would support this action. trueblue2007 Nov 2019 #6

She better offer a foolproof guide to making a Billion. We'll need a lot of billionaires to fund Hoyt Nov 2019 #7

This! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #8

American companies are at a disadvantage by having to pay employees' health insurance. OMGWTF Nov 2019 #14

Absolutely right. Lonestarblue Nov 2019 #21

Warren's plan would continue to tax employers what they are contributing now MichMan Nov 2019 #25

Exactly. Warren is implying people will get a big salary increase, at the same time her Hoyt Nov 2019 #27

Just ignore the fact that M4A will be less money than we spend on health insurance now. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2019 #39

Actually, her latest analysis increased cost from $34 Tril (supposedly what we spend now) to $52 T. Hoyt Nov 2019 #43

I actually trust David Dayen on this... druidity33 Nov 2019 #49

I trust my own research and opinion as to what is passable, what will beat opposition in GE, Hoyt Nov 2019 #50

It's ok to disagree... druidity33 Nov 2019 #55

Agree. And I believe a Public Option will get us to that systemic change long before running on MFA. Hoyt Nov 2019 #56

I think MFA needs to be drmeow Nov 2019 #69

If she can get elected on MFA, even if you don't want it. Otherwise, it puts it off years. Hoyt Nov 2019 #71

Yeah - Warren's really bad with math. blm Nov 2019 #60

Obviously. And, apparently, she thinks a lot of other people are too. Hoyt Nov 2019 #64

Not as bad as Bernie math. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #93

How does anybody know that for certain? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #85

Too cutesy for my taste, but it apparently appeals to her fans. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #9

I don't think stuff like this is a good idea either DrToast Nov 2019 #11

That's elitist BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #12

Nope. Practical. Warren offered yesterday to talk to Bill Gates. This silly calculator makes a highplainsdem Nov 2019 #13

Yet another personal attack on Warren - and her supporters Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #61

Im a Warren supporter. I dont think its too "cutesy" backtoblue Nov 2019 #73

See what pfeiffer said in reply 22, which I agree with. I think this sort of thing is beneath Warren highplainsdem Nov 2019 #96
