Happy New Week everyone! Uncertainty returns as metals falter and stock indexes scrape up to test the "basement ceiling" it's been hitting for the past month. Adding to the confusion is that this site says stock futures are solid upbeat and these say they'll be flat. Gold and silver are off, but hey it's the roof they're trying to punch thru there.

I have watched several Trump rallies, the American Spectator can’t Spectate this isn’t Trump’s position

He want to completely repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump must have said it 500 times by now.

Combo of Portable medical savings accounts, opening state lines so insurers don’t have monopolies in a state, and you can get the best quote. Medicare style coverages where you pick what is in your plan, a man doesn’t have to pay for pregnancy coverages in his personal insurance for instance.

Just like that WSJ poll was BS, this article is the GOPe throwing up crap to see if it sticks.
