The GOP has won only one popular vote since I voted for Sr. in 1988 out of 5 presidential elections and is favored to lose again this fall. There's a reason they are heading for a 1-5 record with the American voting public and that's because they have decided that they don't need no moderate voters no way no how no siree. :wink:
With Gip's keen sense of humor, when he's done lawyering, he can do a stand-up comedy routine in rest homes. :lol:
That's a big ouch Gipper.......but at least I started out fairly well compensated before dividing by 2..... :wink: 8) If I had stayed in Detroit there is no question I would have eventually been hired in my field.........at half the pay.
Something I read about why the GOP needs to win the election and repeal the healthcare act before it's too late: "Another reason repealing the law becomes harder by 2016 is that key provisions will be baked into the cake of American health care, and returning the system to an earlier time period could be politically tedious and expensive. For example, letting insurance companies return to denying coverage to sick people after the fact would likely create an uproar. Breaking up the exchanges once they take effect would mean rolling back consumer bargaining power to get cheaper prices for plans. Stripping coverage away from newly insured individuals would drive up long-term deficits and increase the free-rider burden on taxpayers. There’s no predicting how the political landscape will look in four years. But the danger for Republicans is that as time passes, their narrative of the law as an agent of government tyranny could unravel once most people realize that, apart from some new regulations and subsidies aimed at expanding coverage in an already heavily regulated and subsidized health care system, the Affordable Care Act isn’t there to harm them. Hmmmmm........
To pay for it don't they have to take $500 Billion out of Medicare and simultaneously raise revenues by another $500 Billion in taxes and fees? Are you kidding me?
