Default i a sure...

...You were well-intentioned in this post, but it is a political post nonetheless and has no place in this forum.

This thread will just devolve. That is the only thing that is easy to predict. And it should be locked pre-emptorily.

Most people who collect pre-war cards are white, afluent males with no shortage of health insurance. If you believe your taxes will go up as a result of the reform, then you'll have less disposable income for cards. I hear in Communist Russia they have no baseball cards at all!

But the poor, non-whites that couldn't afford health insurance before the law passed will have loads of money left over now for things like tobacco cards. So perhaps we'll finally get some diversity in our hobby.

Default I think the pitched battle is just beginning pt 2

And we'll have to see how this plays out. If it works, the way the bill is intended too; there will be more people able to afford to buy cards

If it does not work; well then less people will be able to buy cards.

May take years to figure all this out; so let's table this subject for now

Default One of my thoughts during this whole debate

Was our POTUS talking about what he went through with the Insurance issues about his mom. Remember at that point; he was an average citizen and not an exalted politician. If he felt like the Insurance Company did not react well; then he had a long memory and wanted to get at their profits.

I would not be surprised that a little bit of "revenge" was involved here as well

I'm sure I have more opinions and I may go for the David Rudd record of consecutive posts in the same thread
