Somehow Obamacare was brought up at work today. My coworker says he hates it because its a handout and all liberals love handouts.

I live in Collin county Texas, its one of the reddest counties in a red state with some of the highest property taxes in the nation

I asked him what's the difference between me paying these high *** property taxes for years to send his kids to school.

Dude had nothing and walked away.

My cousin is conservative and said the same ****. I'm like "Heaven forbid we pay for other people's Healthcare when we can be paying for stadiums we don't even want"

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal needs to sit his *** all the way down.  Dude should have ZERO say on what it takes to lead people with the way he left Louisiana in straight up shambles.

Gotta love these clowns throwing shade at the President when they can't even properly run their own state.  

 

 

[rolaholic]

That clown Jindal screwed over his entire state in the shambolic pursuit of a presidential bid

I read up on how Jindal left Louisiana :x

It is worst that Kansas, Jindal destroyed the state's finances because he left go of his ideology.

His is Sick Chaney status to me, he has no right to lecture anyone on anything anymore

lets not talk about properly running anything concerning Obama. He was the worst president since Jimmy Carter, if not worse in terms of national debt. 20 trillion, maybe 21 by the time he leaves office.

Worst President...blah, blah, blah....Jimmy Carter...blah, blah, blah.....

Could you please regurgitate some more of the talking points that conservatives have been saying for the past 7 years? We'd love to hear them, although I'm positive we could tell you what you're about to say before you say it.

I've seen you mention the current state of Kansas numerous times. Can you post articles/newspapers about what happened/ is happening there?

As far as Louisiana goes, it doesn't sound pretty and it is exactly the kind of scenario I often mention to those who want to have taxes cut across the board:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...mic-disaster-louisianas-governor-left-behind/

Many of the state’s economic analysts say a structural budget deficit emerged and then grew under former governor Bobby Jindal, who, during his eight years in office, reduced the state’s revenue by offering tax breaks to the middle class and wealthy. He also created new subsidies aimed at luring and keeping businesses. Those policies, state data show, didn’t deliver the desired economic growth. This year, Louisiana has doled out $210 million more to corporations in the form of credits and subsidies than it has collected from them in taxes.

Initially, Jindal had been able to cut taxes because Louisiana was buoyed by billions in federal money, an influx to help with the recovery from Hurricane Katrina, which struck in 2005. But as that money ran dry, Jindal said he would veto any bills that would push taxes back to where they had been. Instead, to plug budget gaps, Jindal relied not just on cuts but also on controversial, one-off fundraising methods.[COLOR=#red] The state sold off assets, including parking lots and farmland. It cleaned out money from hundreds of trust funds — among them, one intended to build reefs for marine wildlife. It pieced together money from legal settlements.[/COLOR]

For Jindal’s supporters, this was creative problem-solving that helped the state endure without crisis through his term, which ended in January. But in the eyes of Jindal’s opponents, the governor was resisting a more sustainable option — tax increases — that would have proven unpopular nationally among Republicans, whom Jindal was courting in a presidential bid.

On Jindal’s watch, nearly every agency in Louisiana shed employees, and state lawmakers say some teetered because of the losses. The Department of Children and Family Services shrank to 3,400 employees, from 5,000 in 2008, and social workers began carrying caseloads larger than national standards. The state also cut funding for youth services and mental health treatment.

“When you cut those programs, it doesn’t change the need for people to get those services,” said state Rep. Walt Leger (D). “It just means you’re no longer providing them. Those folks end up in jail or wandering the street, not being treated for mental health issues, and all of those things have a huge societal cost.”

Since the 2007-08 school year, Louisiana has cut funding for higher education by 44 percent, the sharpest pullback in the nation; Southern has seen its funding cut 49 percent. During that time, the burden of supporting education has flipped: Whereas the state once provided 70 percent of the money its schools spent, now the students support the bulk of the costs — in the form of higher tuition.


[...]


Now the school has been told to prepare for even less funding. Even with new taxes, higher education could be cut statewide by as much as $70 million for the rest of this academic year. In a worst-case scenario without new revenue, Southern initially said that it would be rendered virtually “nonoperational” and close its doors. But the school later backed away from that plan and said it could still function, though barely. It would shed 200 staff positions and eliminate 125 adjunct professors. It would cancel summer classes. Most campus offices would operate two or three days per week.

A popular “TOPS” scholarship fund — available to anybody in the state with a 20 ACT score and a 2.5 GPA — is depleted. Some students will lose their scholarships, and for a future batch of high schoolers, the fund will be unavailable. Belton said that many students were taking out new loans to deal with the rising tuition or stressing about how they would remain enrolled.

****!!!

I'm just gonna sit back and watch how all of this is going to be blamed on Obama.

Don't act like a KKK member and you won't be called one. It's pretty simple really.

The fact you don't realize why you're being called a KKK member says enough 

It's because make incredibly ignorant posts regarding racism (especially systemic racism) and its effects on society.

Maybe you guys are racist against anyone that isn't black? Maybe that says enough right there.

I stand by my opinion of there is absolutely no rhetoric targeting just black folk. If you show me some, I'll change my opinion.

This systemic racism thing you guys talk on here sounds like an excuse more then anything. I know and work with plenty of black millionaires that are well off in this country. Juss saying

 

[gwap]

why don't you pull out your list of acceptable blacks while you're at it
