Chuck schumer blasted the president for his immigration tactics, promising people who were brought to this country as kids that they wouldnt be used as bargaining chips. But democrats are going to with hold spending votes. The dreamers are looking pretty chippy to me. Republicans look at immigrants as criminals, democrats see them as victims. The president rounded up both parties to see if some donkey arms could be twisted and cajoled into voting for a purple plan. The president is ready to dig a shovel into the southern border. The best we can hope for is another continuing resolution as congress once again does nothing on immigration. Glad you are here, im kennedy. Earlier today the president claimed negotiations on immigration are moving right along and hinted at what a compromise could look like. If we do this properly, daca, you are not so far away from comprehensive immigration reform. If you want to take it that far ill take the heat from the democrats and republicans. Kennedy w
Kennedy President Trump seems happiest with chaos raining around him. He diss powerful senators like mccain and corker. If hes all naight the gop its because its a man without a party using brute force and twitter to reshape the one he barely belongs to. Whether hes putting a fork in corker, there has to be method to his madness. He says he likes to keep his strategy secret. So we have no idea what the goal is. The president has the power to mend damaged fence as evidenced by his outings with senators paul and graham. He has given up on legislative victory thanks to senator mcconnells inability to pass anything larger than a kidney stone. So he is allowing people to buy their own insurance and if that translates to lower healthcare cars and a better economy. Maybe its not madness after all. Im kennedy. Ed the president is bush whacking through washington with a machete. Can he got it alone . Dan henneberg joins me. Welcome back to the show. What is the benefit of being a man without a
Its called the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017. The changes between this and the aca are nominal at best. The individual and employer man days are gone, but medicaid continues its expansion for three years, giving republicans cover. Healthcare shouldnt function as a political umbrella. Its basically a hunk of moderate meat thrown to senators like Susan Collins and lisa murkowski. It puts their collective longing for a below thed state more in line with teddy kennedy. There are still federal subsidies disguised as tax credits. And which elements they can opt out of so there will be more to reconcile. Children under 26 are still covered by their parents plan. As if your bad college loan choices are somehow my problem. The adults are treated like mindless children. Mark my words. Nanny statism will be the death of the empire and this new Healthcare Plan is no more than about a serious potentially fatal sickness and i have the cure. Im kennedy.

Make it to 2026 your premiums would go down by as much as 20 . So really they are still going up but it will feel luke they are going down. Its like having Food Poisoning after the stomach flu. Supposedly 22 million more americans would go uninsured with 15 million foregoing insurance all together because the peopleups are too high. Because the peopleup premiuo high. High. Whats the worst part about this kind of ponzi scheme . You have to hold a gun to peoples head. Millions want to opt out of that coercion. But then insurance gets really expensive fit only covers sickos. So republicans are trying to put together another individual mandate. If your coverage lapses you have to sit it out for six months. Its a complete fiasco. So what have democrats been saying about the legislation . Its not even a healthcare bill its a tax cut for the wealthiest americans. Its not a healthcare bill, its a tax cut for the rich. Republicans cannot excise the rotten core at the center of their healthcare
