Isn't he just a wee bit passé by now -- unless you mean that he and Obama -- along with their two disgusting predecessors -- have been playing on same team all along, as I feel positive must be the case?<br /><br />I am a firm believer in "The Unseen Hand" aka "The Oligarchs" -- not because I have adequate proof that would stand up in court of law -- but because the idea of our being manipulated, directed and controlled by Dark Forces largely unknown by us, and unaccountable to us is the only possible explanation I can see for our present state of affairs -- and most of the evil that has transpired in the past century.<br />______________<br /><br />Andie, I love your bright, persevering, creative spirit. The way you have overcome terrible adversity and live now with such relish, affection ad continual outpouring of productive energy is inspiring. Please KUTGW. ;-)<br /><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-31512530007053775272013-11-03T14:43:04.012-05:002013-11-03T14:43:04.012-05:00Insanity in the liberty of defense is moderation!

With it, goes the entire progressive movement.</i><br /><br />May it be so!<br /><br />Let's look at the elephant in the room. If 91 million Americans lose their coverage that they can afford to carry and are forced to purchase more expensive plans, what happens to our ailing economy? Less disposable income means less money flowing into the economy.<br /><br />A few thoughts as to what could suffer:<br /><br />A few thoughts on what could suffer:<br /><br />1. Taking vacations (the hospitality industry)<br /><br />2. Home improvements -- even small ones (new curtains, new towels, etc.)<br /><br />3. Private education<br /><br />4. The devices industries<br /><br />5. Restaurants<br /><br />6. The clothing industry (department stores, etc.)<br /><br />7. The auto industry (purchases of cars, maintenance of vehicles)<br /><br />I could go on and on.<br /><br />I have some experience in the above regard back when Mr. AOW and I had zero disposable income (2009-March 2010) and very little disposable income (April 2010-2011).Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-44579235935491795502013-11-01T19:15:37.455-04:002013-11-01T19:15:37.455-04:00Ha!
