The cost to have a Stable Genius

For the moment, remember the middle class tax cuts expire shortly, the deficit is increasing in an economic expansion and fewer people have health insurance which will shift costs onto those who do, further raising rates in a upward spiral and making it less affordable.
So what’s left when the inevitable downturn occurs?
And you said some people did something.

"remember the middle class tax cuts expire shortly"

I'm confident they'll be renewed, but having them for a while is a lot better than never having them.

"the deficit is increasing in an economic expansion"

That's bad, as I've said.

"fewer people have health insurance which will shift costs onto those who do, further raising rates in a upward spiral and making it less affordable"

I wasn't aware that when Obamacare added more people to insurance rolls, that lowered the cost for those who already had private insurance. In fact, I know for a fact that's not what happened. Quite the opposite in fact, because people on the exchanges had low reimbursement rates to health care providers, meaning they had to charge higher rates to those in the private sector. Spiraling medical costs are not caused by one party or the other.

And Congress is responsible for the deficit.

Since apparently Trump bears no responsibility for anything why is he so important to you?

"no responsibility for anything"--again with the extremism.
