The ACA, while not perfect, literally saved my life. It prohibits lifetime maximums and eliminated the idea of pre-existing conditions.

Without that, I'd be dead.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Let's apply the same standard, then.

Let it ride until after the election, and then apologize and correct the mistake.

Right.

Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

I say "two" to handle the very common case of children putting their parents' homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don't do it early enough.

The documents were delivered by GOP congresspeople during Trump's term, over a July 4 holiday.

I don't think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

They are basically the "blue no matter who" people. I'll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

$1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.

abysmal

Ain't no way Trump wrote that.

But whoever did is a liar.

You may have heard of Thomas Jefferson?

"...the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance."

Trump can't stay out of the spotlight long. He's wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there's something fun for Republicans to ~~condone~~ ignore.

Biden could trot out as a half-rotten corpse and I'd still vote for him over a serial liar and traitor to our nation.

Fyi: people often take out more than one loan, and leave the lowest interest federal loans for last...

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.
