[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1099940, member: 43436"] Please show me one piece of evidence that ObamaCare is "driving up prices on everything." (I'm heavily educated on the topics I write about -- I don't write from emotion.) That's completely false, and absurd considering that the law hasn't taken effect. And don't use heavily bias sources, such as the CEO of Papa John's threat to raise prices; he's long been a mouthpiece for the Republican party (nor is it likely he'll make good on his threat, given that pizza is a commodity). I didn't blame the right wing, but it's a fact that the affordability of our health care system is in a crisis that's disproportinately affecting lower/middle income families & that the domino effect will keep this problem snowballing, thus we need to do something. 2008, really? LOL, in many areas of the country, the housing market started rescinding in 2006 (while the Republicans controlled the Administration & Congress). And economists were concerned about soaring housing prices several years earlier; a good example is your area (Central Florida) in which planned low-cost communities began being enacted in the late 1990s/early 2000s, with housing starting at less than $100,000 ... but just several years later, were selling for as much as $400,000 -- despite the fact the lion's share of jobs in the area paid minimum wage. Republicans pushed for deregulation of the banking industry; previously, banks cared about your ability to re-pay your mortgage but this care disintegrated when they were able to sell your loan off in a package of securities. Republicans also controlled the Administration & Congress while housing prices soared and began plummeting. Republicans were in charge when economists questioned the viability of the housing market but ignored the warnings. Absolutely Democrat law makers deserve blame, because they too ignored these warnings. But don't think for a second the Republican Party don't deserve the lion's share of the blame. [/QUOTE]
