The election is over, we see the contours of what lies ahead for the next four years.

Not a single one has been initiated by the feds...due to the lack of information concerning costs. Even they don't know the costs.

... or how it will be paid for other than even more new taxes on the Middle Class.

I know how it's paid for. I could tell you but then you'll just insist facts don't matter. You believe it's not paid for and your religious thought is all you need.

When Americans get better access to health care their standard of living kind of increases.

You seriously believe this?

Right now, you finally see this?

I suppose we'll fight it in jail, together.

AJ refuses to be beholden to pesky facts.

Very Romneyesque.

The Republican Medicare Part-D? That's not paid for, none of it. But Obamacare is. We've been through this and every time I link you to source facts you vanish for a month and then creep back in, acting like you have no idea what's going on.

Medicare Part-D was vitally important to secure the re-election of the Decider in 2004.

Like the manufactured wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Republicans back then believed it was vitally important for our children and grandchildren to pay for their largesse and adventurism.

4est, you know that I would bite my tongue off before I would give you up.

Just wanted you to know before I did it.

How many Democrats voted for it?

Two wrongs make a right? Hmmm?

So the function of Democrats is to provide adult leadership to the irresponsible children of the Republican party. Got it.

 

[Byron In Exile]

How many Democrats voted for it?

They all did.

Yes you can. You get a gold star.

And when you write something that makes sense, you'll get a cookie.

Alright. Let me understand this.

In your world, is it alright to blow people to bits because they're superstitious?

Because holy fillet of fuck, you're going to be blowing up a fuckload of people.

With current costs at 500 billion it's easy to see why, it didn't cost enough.

With admin costs and a decade of interest since it's funded on borrowed money, the actual cost is pushing $1 trillion dollars. And of course it's an open-ended program that spends on its own so that figure rises every day.

Tom Daschle was leading the Democratic opposition by saying it should be funded. You really don't remember any of this?
