I don’t think all the player’s have played their hands yet, to be quite honest.
If it is just as you say you are right it sucks, but I still don’t think all the cards are on the table yet.
What wouldn’t be played yet? The more time goes by the more this gets worse. There’s nothing new getting put in this bill so there are no new cards to be played. All we can do is learn about the cards currently in play and every other week something new and downright devastating for the middle class gets brought to light because now ordinary people have the time to actually read the legislation.
What does student loans have to do with insurance? Sorry you went to a public school, sorry you didn’t have the money so some rich guy gave you the money and let you pay him back over time, sorry you aren’t happy that you got $50,000-100,000 in charges for education from the GOVERNMENT. I love how everyone gets all upset about this whole student loan thing and blames rich people and the banks when the GOVERNMENT is the one that is continually raising the price of public education. Sure 50 years ago no one had student loans, you think it’s the fault of rich people and banks that the price is now higher than it was then? Also remember that 50 years ago if you couldn’t afford college, you didn’t go. Back then you didn’t need a college degree to be successful in life, it just meant you had to work your *edited* off with your hands instead of your mind. Guess what’s changed since then? Nothing. If you work your *edited* off you don’t need a college degree, not then, not now, not ever.
This whole “screw the rich” is just a smoke screen that I’m honestly surprised so many are getting lost in. The richest are the ones LEAST hurt by this provision and the poorest amoung us are absolutely devastated. About six years ago that was my family down at the poverty line, my parents spending almost half their income on the family’s insurance, so I know *edited* well how bad the current system sucks. The difference? Instead of *edited*ing about how bad things were my dad started his own company, worked his *edited* off, and now has a company worth 15-20 million. You going to say my dad is a greedy *edited*? Btw, guess what kind of college degree he has? Oh wait, he doesn’t have one, he just worked his *edited* off…
