. My comments were directed mostly at the left in regards to the OP about how outrageous it is that Trump would defend, and even help his Wall Street buddies. The fact is, every POTUS has, on both sides of the aisle, and I dont understand the outrage. Yep Obama passed Wall Street reform. But thats only half of the story. Obamacare not only benefited many Americans, but REALLY benefited healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies...part of Wall Street. Healthcare (NOT insurance) and drug prices has skyrocketed because, as my personal pharmacist said to me, "With the ACA and more people covered, companies are guaranteed payment, so they charge more". Thats a fact. Who do those rising costs benifit? Thats right. Wall Street.

Check out Justice Democrats, yo. Radical change may be coming.

Oh here come the excuses. Thanks for the Thwarted™ narrative. "We would have fixed everything if we weren't so damn Thwarted™!"
We already know that you don't understand how government works, if you think that by naming a Democratic president as unable/unwilling to "fix" everything when that Democratic president had Republican majority Congresses literally voting against, or, not bringing up Democratic party bills.

Thanks for, yet again, shouting out loud in public your ignorance of reality and how reality works, champ.

I'm not a fan of Goldman. Their analysts tend to give poor advice, and their recent record of downgrades to competitors against their own holdings reeks of market manipulation. They are also (IIRC) the largest holders of nvidia stock.


You can tell they have zero morals by the fact that they invest in nvidia, a company that also has no morals. Nvidia is like the Trump Administrations version of what a tech company should be: Lots of BS marketing and a bunch of underhanded dirty trickery to back it up with some substance.

So...you got nothing.

Protip: Congress writes and passes the bills. The President only signs them, or vetoes them.

I'll wait here while you go and read up, instead of making fun of yourself in public.

Take your time.

You still haven't told me anything I didn't already know long before you came along on your tirade imagining how inferior everyone who disagrees with you absolutely must be. But thank you Captain Obvious™ for the Protip™. You truly have no equal in your ability to be condescending, obvious, transparent, insulting while providing no substance of value. It's like conversing with a 12 year old. Your parents must be so proud. If you're 11.

OK the majority of your comments are red herrings, and my point, which appears to have been missed by you, remains. BOTH GOP and Dems *SAY* things that may or may not actually happen (who has made campaign promises that were outright lies? All of them), that is true. My comments were directed mostly at the left in regards to the OP about how outrageous it is that Trump would defend, and even help his Wall Street buddies. The fact is, every POTUS has, on both sides of the aisle, and I dont understand the outrage. Yep Obama passed Wall Street reform. But thats only half of the story. Obamacare not only benefited many Americans, but REALLY benefited healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies...part of Wall Street. Healthcare (NOT insurance) and drug prices has skyrocketed because, as my personal pharmacist said to me, "With the ACA and more people covered, companies are guaranteed payment, so they charge more". Thats a fact. Who do those rising costs benifit? Thats right. Wall Street.

On things Trump has said, he has also commented he supports the Volcker Rule. So there you have it.

And Trump never promised to break up big banks. He said he's considering it (not that he actually could!). Big difference. edit source: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/02/trum...king-up-big-banks-but-he-wont-commentary.html

My point remains. Its useless to point-counterpoint ANYTHING that Trump says because...well...who knows what he'll say tomorrow. Lets see what legislation actually comes from what he wants. So far, its been nothing (in regards to Wall Street).

If the ACA caused companies to increase prices like you say then why was medical inflation lower after the ACA than before it? Doesn't that kind of disprove your hypothesis?

And more nothing.

At least you're consistent.

Well I just did it to show you an example of how you were behaving. I won't accuse you of letting the point fly over your head as I'm sure it was too obvious for that to actually happen.

So let's put our differences aside and how about you show us an example of Obama or Clinton's attempts to end corruption that was thwarted by Republicans. That shouldn't take too long. Certainly not as long as bickering without substance.
