who is using them and ripping them off, just like the abused keep going back to their abusers. As long as the abuser has an "R" after his name.

I will leave it to your imagination as to what "tough on crime" looks like.

A one man wrecking crew for all things money related.

But hey, he'll make a buck off of our sorrows as well, which is good for him, right?!

Trump loses. The political climate in the country might actually be just as bad for a Trump loss as it is for a win. All of this vitriol that's been whipped up isn't going to fade away over night.

actually help citizens in a visible, meaningful way. Forget a few "tax deductions" for childcare, or minor tinkering with education loans. That's the bullshit that's been going on for decades and everyone knows it's the same as throwing a teaspoon of water on an inferno. We have to admit that there is some basic rot going on, and overhauling whole sections of the country, economy, infrastructure, etc., is the only way to proceed.

A very visible and helpful thing would be to lower the entry age to Medicare -- all those older workers companies don't want anymore? At least they can have health care without being ripped off. Hillary has to do visible, meaningful change or she will never get a second term.

Because Obama's classy calmness helped raise the markets from the near depression, which has a lot to do with them (confidence of the investor), and even though I despise "Wall St" and all that investing in it entails, it's a huge segment for your GOP fam & maybe a friend or two to see!
