> OMG his health insurance is almost $25,000.00 per year

My sister’s family is $2400/month for them and 3 boys. Thats with a $6K deductible.

It’s freaking outrageous.

Move out of San-Francisco and it would be just great for you.

...

He’s thinking about moving to Honolulu which is just as liberal, but costs less than the Sidewalk Poop capital.

$1.6 million dollar home that wasn't paid for IE: about $2.5 million owed. With $3 million in investments.
This guy is an idiot to retire with those kinds of expenses.

He won’t “openly” admit that living in a liberal “utopia” is not all it is cracked up to be, because he wants to move to a different liberal “utopia” if he doesn’t reach his goals by 2022.

At the same time, he won’t openly admit that the heartland of the US has better financial stability (lower cost for real estate, better job markets).

The child issue is just another sign of his liberal mindset.

I’m sure he’s already taxed up the wazoo in San Franfreak show. We all have to make choices with the associated consequences. What’s a far worse other scenario is being broke, willfully stupid and voting DemoRat.

Moving to a red state would solve most of his problems.

...

I notice he invests his money in real estate where the Deplorables live, but he doesn’t want to live there. But you’re right, he could live like a king and stay retired in a Conservative area.

"I’ve finally reached a point where paying so much in health insurance premiums feels like highway robbery, especially since we’re a healthy family with no pre-existing conditions. While I understand that it’s our duty to help subsidize others who are less healthy, the cost has become untenable."

I hate this idiot.

And he’d be the first to whine, “But that’s not how we did things in California.”

He’d be just fine in Houlton, Maine or Star City, Arkansas.

If he retired from the military healthcare wouldn’t be a problem. #shouldhaveserved

San Fransicko has lots of free public housing tenements and rent/ buy subsidy programs. Let him stop crying about his poverty and get in line for the “freebie” handouts that his state is so famous for.

This dope expects the nation to fund his beloved SF and advocates for illegals to take the jobs of Americans. This is what this dope says on his website:

Further, if you live in one of the many sanctuary cities in America, you are also a loser since Trump has decided to aggressively go after illegal immigration. It is a sad state of affairs to break apart families, but it is a reality we must face.

On the margin, sanctuary cities will be less attractive because they will lose their lower wage workforce that helps drive their economies forward. And since Americans are unwilling to fill low age jobs, overall services and quality of life in sanctuary cities may suffer.

If President Trump takes some or all of that $1 billion funding away from San Francisco, all San Francisco residents will lose because we’ll all be forced to pay higher taxes to help fund our inefficient city government and its underfunded pension system.

OMG his health insurance is almost $25,000.00 per year THAT is ridiculous!!!

Our new insurance premium(me and my wife age 58) with a $8000 deductible EACH is $21,900 per year.

Not all of us have cushy gov’t jobs with incredible benefits.

Trump needs to get the health insurance nightmare under control

Yep.

I wonder why he doesn’t invest in California tax free municipal bonds rather than low yield treasuries? Doesn’t he trust the Democrats he voted for?

I'm talking double A rating. . . the best investment in America.

He’s never had the right Congress to do it, but he’s doing what he can and a lot more than others.

At least he isn’t thinking about moving to flyover country.
