Affordable Care Act - goes into full effect (MAYBE) in 2014. In the meantime, when first debated, we had 44 million without health insurance. Now we have over 50 million.
Stimulus bill was enough to hold off a depression
. But it was a stop gap bill, even though it was heavily compromise
d by including tax cuts (which we all no does NO economic stimulatio
n whatsoever
) instead of actual spending.
So stimulus, even with Obama's pointless genuflecti
on to the republican
s, was good at buying some time to get changes to the financial world implemente
d. Sadly, since nothing was done on THAT front, wall street casinos rock on, the stimulus is gone, and we are heading to a double-dip
.
DADT is good, but doesn't do a lot for jobless, homeless, and insurance-
less. Not to belittle anyone, but I think most people would agree that policies directly effecting the free-fall economy are paramount.
As far as sticks and stones shattering the President'
s bones, well, that's just terribly sad that you believe it has any effect on him. In fact, I have to believe the President welcomes the abuse. After all, he keeps crawling back to the republican
s for more.
