It's bad enough that their parents are already stuck with raising their grandchildren, without being stuck with the cost of continuing to care for their adult children as well. <br /><br />I was on my own at 17, and I'm sure some Boomers were taking care of themselves even younger than that. Several of my wife's (and my) grandparents had to take care of the whole family when they were in their teens, working several jobs to hold things together, due to the father or both parents having died, walked out, or been too ill/disabled to work.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-40905357419420712192017-02-27T11:49:09.974-05:002017-02-27T11:49:09.974-05:00Democrats want to micromanage your life.

It was alwa...Obamacare was a trap, a hand grenade. It was always intended to blow up and will simply blow up earlier if you rescind it. The congressional Republicans are wise to not want to touch it because it will blow up on them. There is a reason why Obamacare wasn't fully implemented until Obama left office.<br />But here is the solution. Through executive action make a few simple changes. First remove the mandatory rule for both recipients and companies. That is regardless of the size of your company you are not obligated to participate in Obamacare. Second remove the taxes that were implemented with Ocare. Third, end all subsidies. That is; if you like your Obamacare you can keep it but YOU must pay for it. And last; suspend the sign up limitations for health insurance and allow people to leave Ocare today and sign up with another provider. Let the ACA die on the vine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-83431054110631305392017-02-27T07:47:19.619-05:002017-02-27T07:47:19.619-05:00What you and the other long service .Gov employees...What you and the other long service .Gov employees/supporters don't seem to understand is that this is a symptom of a system that is broken beyond any possible repair. Only by herding up the scum that infest our once great nation then KILLING ALL OF THEM RUTHLESSLY can any hope for anything but the communist disasters of Europe and Africa be salvaged from the former USA. ANYTHING short of a "French Revolution" type event that EXTERMINATES the ruling "elite" and left will end in failure. Just like Africa and Europe. Kill. them. all. NOTHING ELSE can save us now.

I love this state, born and raised here, but we have had terrible leadership since the weight- lifter was elected governor.<br /><br />The BEST thing that could happen is for the Medicaid grants to be cut bigly. This would raise taxes on the wealthy as well as the poor. Income taxes on one, sales taxes on the other. The middle class pays both and should finally see how stupid uncontrolled illegal immigration really is. And take out their anger on this Democrat- only state in 2018.<br /><br />My worry is that Trump will blink and listen to the Progs in the Republican Party. Lets hope not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
