Did someone mention that the tax rate in HK is 15% and healthcare is almost free?
Education supposedly is too, but anyone with even a little money goes private.

Born and raised in the UK. Have lived in similar property and paid council tax on it (still paying). Never worked in the UK, but have seen plenty of paychecks which I can compare.
There's a reason why he has a hands-off approach to this. Once it fails he'd take Ryan and his ilk down with him.
Read the Breitbart article I linked and posted last night, that's when they announced the leak of the audio tape too. I bolded the part where they talk about completely replacing Ryan as speaker of the house. It's 100% clear that because DonCare is getting absolutely panned by both sides and hammered in the media AND does not contain many of the promises he made pre-election, that Ryan is going to be the fall guy for the whole thing. As I said earlier, this lot are fecking evil and even eat their own young. This is only the beginning too, everyone is worried about who and when Trump will get impeached, I think he will probably be taken out by one of his own after he has taken down 90% of his cabinet. Each one has been employed because of how much they donated and how much Trump has on each one of them. This shit is getting nasty.
The same is true for other countries as well. It was an honest question. The data I know suggests that the claim is not true, but I am open for the possibility, that too many items are excluded. That’s why I was asking; anecdotal evidence is not particularly convincing.
Coming back to my initial contribution. Just looking at healthcare costs obscures the fact, that the us-system is fairly innovative (compared to the size of the market) and this proliferates around the world. The US system is still fairly inefficient and needs to be fixed, but it “just” looking at the cost is not telling the whole story.
The really big decision that the us should make is to either fully move towards Universal health care and pick one system (e.g. Single-payer healthcare in UK/Candada or CNHI in Switzerland, Germany, ACA) or the government should give individuals the power to insure themselves without tying it to employment. That’s the big question that no politician is willing to answer publicly. The ACA was a big step towards universal health care without really reforming the system completely. Obama didn’t think that was political feasible. The ACA creates a path-dependency towards that
The biggest recession since the depression and putting Iraq and Afghanistan on the books would have contributed to the deficit. Don't forget the Bush tax cuts in there either, extremely important to include them in the deficit.
Wow! Something tells me this guy was universally loved by his employees and colleagues. That's some send off.
If Trump is still looking for his mate Frederick, I think he's going to be hanging out in Limerick soon to put up a plaque

Glad I didn't read that just before going to bed.
Quite hilarious!

It'd be nice if his wealth suddenly disappeared and then he was forced to look for health insurance that's for sure.
They're now claiming Obama bypassed all the US intel agencies and turned to GCHQ to conduct surveillance on Trump 
Did we finally find an electable Democrat?

Remind yourself that millions of people are believing this.
None of it is funny, quite the opposite.
Only downside is that he's born in India, so Congress is as high as he could go.
Considering he's now private citizen Barack Obama, he might actually be able to.
Just add a 'na' to make it Indiana. Republicans aren't the best at spelling.

"We think we know the archetypal Trump voter. He is white, male, blue-collar, frustrated and angry. But is that really the case? Are these the only people that will be voting for the Republican candidate? Trump has defied all predictions and surprised media and commenters more than once. Now it is time to meet some of his most unexpected supporters, the Latinos for Trump.
Although his virulent anti-immigration stance, his promise of building a wall along the Southern border (and getting Mexico to pay for it), and his outright racist comments about Latinos make "Donald" a very improbable champion of the Hispanic community, that is only part of the picture. A quick tour of Facebook pages, forums and blogs reveals a more complex reality.
It has previously been observed that first-and second-generation immigrants who manage to attain the "American Dream" tend frequently to become conservative, and even to develop an anti-immigration stance. Riverboom's Edoardo Delille and Giulia Piermartiri are on the road this summer to meet the Latinos pledging their vote to the most unexpected Republican candidate in the last century.
All of the subjects that are portrayed are also interviewed about their goals, desires and fears. e best way to try and understand the Trump dilemma is to meet those who will vote for him in November.
Ladies and gentlemen Los Trumpistas!"

Is Seema Verma Muslim?
Many people on Twitter were claiming she was, but Ive always thought Verma was a purely Hindu name?
I'd never heard of her. To answer your question Seema is an Arabic or Urdu derived name.
Edit: The surname Verma is popular in Punjab India

Oi oi
He's always been a drama queen. Great prosecutor. Not sure how that translates to the Presidency.
Alright, someone keep an eye on his twitter feed, he's going to need something extraordinarily insane to overshadow this.
Can't help but think it's gonna be a let down.
