Mando Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I hope for all our sakes globally and for the US populace, that he surprises us all and does a good job. Ill give him a fair chance and an open mind. I genuinely wish him the best of luck, $29 trillion dollars of debt is more than my head can measure and I cant even begin to imagine how he will tackle that. Its a huge task and job, kudos to him for thinking hes up to it, in his 70s. I personally think hes a clown and a laughing stock internationally, but the main thing is, he does right and improves the country for the US citizens, and keeps his word on his promises to the voting masses. 8 Share Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) 14 minutes ago, primortal said: It all depends if he's just hot air or indents doing what he said he'll do. If he's all hot air the republications are SOL. Right now he's not doing what he claims he'll do his inauguration speech: To start, Americans are asking not to repeal ACA and that seems to be falling on deft ears. What they disapprove of is repeal without a replacement. That's not the plan. Either they abutt or there's a phase out/phase in. 3 Share Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
+primortal Subscriber² Share Posted January 20, 2017 @DocM When did the poll end? Would be nice if you actually post links to where you get these polls instead of just posting pictures Plus a 7% swing isn't to bad like it was late 2014 but the key thing is the sample size, which is?

Now, 44% of Americans support the law, also known as Obamacare, and 51% disapprove of it -- similar to what Gallup measured last November > Percentage of Americans Saying ACA Hurt Their Family Rises to New High Currently, 29% of Americans say Obamacare has hurt them and their family, up from 26% in May, and the highest Gallup has measured to date. Meanwhile, the percentage who say the ACA has helped their family dropped from 22% to 18%. The bulk of Americans, 51%, continue to say the law has "had no effect." As more provisions of the law have taken effect over the years, the "no effect" percentage has dropped from the first reading of 70%, in early 2012. > Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept means they keeping the ACA but making the necessary changes to fix the problems. ACA wasn't written in a modular fashion where you can just unplug a section and change it, plug it back in and walk away. In computer terms, it's spaghetti code. Or, it's like a knit sweater with a bunch of bad spots; you have to disassemble most of it, untangle the yarn, re-knit it etc. It's faster and easier to rewrite, modularize and fix the whole thing rather than go through that.
