Big infrastructure changes coming. Wow!

Their plan has a lot of holes in it. Basically it's a way to hand out big contract deals to their buddies. It's not good enough.

Well, Trump, my family and I were finally able to get health insurance thanks to the ACA and prior we couldn't, yes it isn't perfect but keep the damn law.

A repeal and replace of Obamacare doesn't mean that the provisions that helped your family get insured will be thrown out. Of course, you know that, but I'd imagine the adrenaline of panic has you hooked.

I think Democrats should employ the same tactics the GOP used on President Obama, obstruct as much as you can to prevent some of these disastrous policies from being implemented.

It failed in the 80's, but let's try it again. Said no one ever.

Oh, so do you know what provisions will be thrown out and which ones won't? Neat. Please share!

Look at where Trump is looking; he's avoiding the Democratic side of the aisle like the plague, focusing on the GOP section and the balcony as much as possible.

We have to increase it a bit. Obama made a mockery out of it. Making fun of them, depleting our veterans. It was time.

Do you know anything at all about defense spending under Obama? Can you give specific examples of how Obama "made a mockery of it?"

Um..Steve, remember the sequester? Remember his 2008 and 2012 DNC speeches, remember his bashing of American military in '08 before the Wright story came out, and he had to change his tune, the civilian force that he wanted?
