    Michael Tracey Retweeted Halloween Name Griswold

    It's not an "indictment of Republicans" that they invested two years of political capital in passing a law that a supermajority of Americans don't perceive any benefit from. Sounds a lot like Democrats' apologia for the unpopularity of Obamacarehttps://twitter.com/HashtagGriswold/status/1109102597942718464 …

        Just a hunch, but I think if Americans perceived that the law benefitted their material interests they would express a favorable view of it, notwithstanding any inaccurate media portrayals (there were also plenty of inaccurate media portrayals of Obamacare)

        The difference there is that Obamacare actually hurt probably as many people as it helped.

        The tax cuts did fuel the present economic growth though and Obamacare slowed it down!!!

        Only 33% of Republicans expected their taxes to decrease. You may have succeeded in convincing people that illegals are coming to kill them and take their summer homes, but you can't tell people you saved them all kinds of money when they're not seeing it.

        More like invested in blocking anything Obama put forward, as long as Obama’s name was on it. Not a Obama fan but I doubt the GOP’s motivations are so indulgent of the public’s interest. More like their major donors, both parties, one a bit more vile than the other.

        Eh, I dont think it was 2 years of political capital. The tax law was done very quickly. The repeal of Obamacare took up most of the capital and failed.

        I have scrimped and saved my entire life but since the 2008 crash the Fed has pushed interest rates below the rate of inflation (especially for food, medicine, rent and any kind of repairs). By some estimates over a trillion dollars has been stolen from savers like me.
