No, I'm not saying anything of the sort. I'm saying they crashed
the financial system and ruined people's lives through greed
and recklessness.

Obama's education secretaries:
'John B. King Jr. (born 1975) is the Secretary of Education at the U.S.
Department of Education.[1] Immediately before he assumed leadership of
the Department, he served as its Acting Deputy Secretary,[2][3] and from
2011 to 2014 he was the New York State Education Commissioner.
...
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Harvard,[9] King
taught social studies and received his master's from Teachers College,
Columbia University. He taught for three years, including two years at a
Boston charter school. King was among the founders of Roxbury
Preparatory Charter School, where he served as co-director for five
years and developed its curriculum and rules, such as no talking in the
hallways between classes. Under King's leadership, Roxbury Prep's
students attained the highest state exam scores of any urban middle
school in Massachusetts'
So a career in education since about 1999...
'In 1992, childhood friend and investment banker John W. Rogers, Jr.,
appointed [Arne] Duncan director of the Ariel Education Initiative, a
program mentoring children at one of the city's worst-performing
elementary schools and then assisting them as they proceeded further in
the education system.[7] After the school closed in 1996, Duncan and
Rogers were instrumental in re-opening it as a charter school, Ariel
Community Academy.[8] In 1999, Duncan was appointed Deputy Chief of
Staff for former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas.[9]
...
CEO of Chicago Public Schools[edit]
Mayor Richard M. Daley appointed Duncan to serve as Chief Executive
Officer of the Chicago Public Schools on June 26, 2001'
And a career in education since 1992.
What's Betsy Devos's qualification for the job?
Oh, right! She donated a lot of money!

"investors"? Perhaps.
Investment bankers? No. You cannot say that with any degree of certainty.

Of course, those who inherited a mountain of money don't have to be

He absolutely is not. You keep saying that he isn't the reason for the

You keep missing the point, and the fact that most of America does not

I wasn't talking about the annual out-of-pocket limit:
instead, I was referring to the cost of the actual health
insurance policy, which as per the latest CBO estimates is
expected to now grow by 20-25% per year from ACA's repeal.
The ramifications of this are that if you don't get a $5K
raise (increase in total benefits) the first year of rate
change after ACA repeal, you're falling behind. And because
of compounding, this number goes up every year thereafter:
year 2 requires no less than a $6K/year raise to prevent
falling even further behind; the "tread water" for year 3
is +$7.2K and for year 4 (2020 election year) its +$8.6K
Oh, and these are assuming the CBO's lower estimate; the
upper ones are: +$6K, +$7.5K, +$9.4K, +11.7K
Because after four years, the current[1] cost for a generic
family of four will increase from $24K/year to $48K/year.
[1] - as per Forbes, via the 2015 Milliman Medical Index:

True, under ACA, but that was in no small part because the
ACA prohibited "lifetime limits".
But with ACA's repeal, the "lifetime limit" prohibition
is gone too, so they'll come back into effect.
And as you know, once you hit your LL, the healthcare policy
stops paying and the max out-of-pocket no longer applies.

She has a lot of money. Otherwise she is laughably unqualified.
https://goo.gl/4squwq
"We write today as professors of education, to urge you to join us in
voicing opposition to the nomination of Betsy DeVos to U.S. secretary of
education.
DeVos is unqualified. Understanding the daily struggles within our schools
and how to assuage them requires careful study of education and experience
in schools. DeVos has no relevant credentials in education, no formal
training or experience in teaching, and no advanced knowledge of
educational research.
DeVos puts forward an agenda that jeopardizes the future of democratically
run public education. She supports the privatization of schooling through
expanding for-profit charter schools and vouchers to private schools. Her
efforts in Michigan have led 80 percent of charter schools to be
for-profit. DeVos views schools as a place to make money and children as a
source of profit.
DeVos supports policies that have consistently failed. The particular
forms of school choice that she advocates have consistently failed
children, including voucher students who have been outperformed by
traditional public school students. In addition to worrisome low academic
performance, many of the sorts of charter schools she has backed have
engaged in discriminatory practices. These charter schools cause de facto
segregation, cherry-pick top students, and push out those who struggle or
have costly attributes such as disabilities or being English language
learners."

Your statement was:
"You are aware that Republicans skipped Obama's inaugurations, correct?"
I don't see the additional qualifier of 'congressman' in there, do you?
So you trying to add it now is a goalpost move.

Re-read. I never made that statement.

That's exactly what you were trying to do. Own it.

He Googles stuff. He doesn't read it before he posts. His
track
record is clear on that. His makes a claim and then posts
unrelated cites.
