"Obamacare"

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

This talking point about Obama cutting the deficit in half, if I'm understanding it right, is about as stupid as someone who filed for chapter 13 bragging about cutting their car payment in half.

Or put another way, "Sure I added $10 tril to the debt, but it coulda been 12.5!"

I don't like certain aspects of Obamacare, but damn, give it a rest already.  If it's a complete disaster (which is a definite possibility), Republicans will benefit in the next election cycle.  Laws can be reformed, and even repealed, if necessary.

But what if death spiral first?

Obamacare sounds like it is mumped but didn't Obama win the election and then the democrats won enough seats to pass it?  Isn't that kind of how its supposed to work?

Because of the death spiral, right?

Couldn't those same elected people vote to defund it?  How is it different?

Sort of. Obama has to bribe the last 4 dems with millions for the votes late on Christmas Eve of 2009.

Not to mention using budget reconciliation to ram it through with just 51 votes after the Dems lost Teddy "I drowned a girl" Kennedy's old seat to Scott Brown, who ran on being "the 41st vote against Obamacare" and won. Yes, the bribes and maneuvering was Democracy at its finest. Can anyone name the last major entitlement passed without any bipartisan support?

Not really a ringing endorsement for a bill nobody even read before voting.

Well, to quote then Speaker San Fran Nan (the one who currently can't think of a single cut to federal spending), "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it."

Too many people love Obamacare, and the website keeps going down from all the traffic.

The Medicare prescription drug bill.

Another good example of a crap bill pushed through despite the lack of public support.

@hipsterrunoff: Do u evr think abt how much ur life sux bc the poors have healthcare?

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

The Medicare prescription drug bill.

A number of Dems in the House and Senate voted for Medicare Part D. The same cannot be said for Obamacare. In fact, the only thing "bipartisan" about Obamacare was the House vote in opposition.

I missed the slide where the president arbitrarily decides whether or not to enforce then law.  That's a critical element in today's "democracy"

Yes, I assume the next president can just say I don't like this law and send the attorney general to file lawsuits against states that do try and keep it going.
