So, what is the GOP getting up to while Trump provides a media circus distraction? They are making mortgage's more expensive for middle class home buyers, they are gutting consumer safety rules, they are taking away your health insurance ---and even if you do not use ACA, you may lose your local doctor or hospital if the number of uninsured in your area suddenly rises. Anything I have missed? We really need to keep a running tally/list of everything that they are doing to make life more miserable for Americans.

(129,426 posts)At least 15 people have died in MS & GA over the past 2 days. I expect their "lack of doing" when it comes to the current and any upcoming disasters, will be the atrocity in this case. See Katrina as a past example. I.e., FEMA will probably be shoved back under Homeland Security again to make sure they won't lock any of them up in FEMA Camps!!11!!!!!

Eventually do away with the minimum wage so they won't have to pay people to work. Similar to slavery but they won't own anybody so they won't have the expenses of keeping slaves healthy enough to work and produce profits; now they can just give the sickos the boot and plug in the next hungry moocher. Pure parasitism.
