And that anxiety is based on a failing american dream. > People are worried about the future. They are worried that their current job isn’t paying making ends meet. They are worried that they may lose their job. They worry about their health, and the health of their family, and have concerns that if they have a major medical problem, they won’t be able to afford to take care of it.

I can understand giving him a chance to make a better huger healthcare plan that would cost less and give more coverage to everyone. > > What the republicans are not understanding is that this anger didn’t just go away when they channeled it against the liberals to get themselves elected. This anger is still there, still simmering, and it will, until the problems that are causing the anxiety and anger are actually addressed. People who voted for trump because of his promises on healthcare, do you really think that they will continue to support the republicans if they manage to cram through their bill? Do you really think that the people who are waiting for their job to come back will not punish the republicans electorally when those jobs fail to materialize? > > You point it out yourself, the republicans have managed to take control over pretty much the entire federal govt and most of the state houses. The ball is in your court. What your party does now, with pretty much no obstruction from the democrats is showing your true colors. You have not had this level of power in living memory, so there is quite a bit of the electorate that believes that you will use it for the good of the country, rather than for self promotion and enrichment. The liberals have not managed to disabuse republican supporters of this notion, but what the republicans are doing now just might do it. this. ---
