smitty Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 http://time.com/3558263/mitch-mcconnell-shutdown-obamacare-majority-leader/ I think this issue of repeal is to big for McConnell to ignore. Two election cycles of huge defeats for obama's policies. Plus 29 Demo Senators are no longer employed that supported obamacare. It's gonna happen. Quote
baddog Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 It's really early to make claims such as this. This is obviously going to be a bargaining chip but "total repeal" has a certain nuance about it. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 They may not have to repeal Obamacare. The Supreme Court could do it for them. http://www.westernjournalism.com/breaking-obamas-bad-week-just-got-worse-surprise-supreme-court-action/ Quote
baddog Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 (Not gonna happen!) lol! Can't Obama simply "VETO" the Supreme Court? LOL!!! Obama has been neutered. He is now Yomama. Quote
Big girl Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 They didnt repeal it the first time. You guys are sick, you want 10 million people to lose healthcare coverage. Smh Quote

bullets13 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 No, I want to quit paying for people that won't pay for their own. But why??? ;) Quote
stevenash Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 But why??? ;)It may be because he believes that paying for their food, their housing, their education, and the cell phones is sufficient "compassion". He may be concerned that we are teaching/incentivizing people to believe that one needn't be self reliant or accountable to anyone. RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote

Big girl Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 Only .47 percent of your tax money goes towards government assistant programs. Wow Quote

They have increased the interest rate on school loans as well. Where are the job training programs? My son is getting an academic scholarship to Baylor, I guess he is milking the system? Quote

Are you comparing an academic scholarships to daycare assistance programs? Seriously? One earns the first one. How do you "earn" the second one? You don't! You do away with that program. Personal responsibility has to enter at some point! RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote
Big girl Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 So.....how does one go to work if they cant afford daycare? Quote
stevenash Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 How does one go to work if they cant afford a car? We need a free automobile program Quote
baddog Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 So.....how does one go to work if they cant afford daycare? It's called family and friends and learning how to make things work rather than throwing your hands in the air and asking "where is my help?" Plus, you would have too many people that can afford day care abusing the system and getting the free stuff. Please tell me that doesn't happen with this or any other program. Lol. I have absolutely no problem helping a working class person. It's the freeloaders that can kiss my rear end. Can I veto free day care? RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote
stevenash Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 Only .47 percent of your tax money goes towards government assistant programs. WowShow me a link Big Girl. I want to see some documentation of that claim. Quote
tvc184 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 Only .47 percent of your tax money goes towards government assistant programs. Wow You are kidding, right? Less than one half of one percent goes to assistance programs? Not counting Social Security more than 40% of our budget goes to assistance programs. Maybe you misread 47% and thought it was .47%. I can see that you need to use your healthcare to purchase some reading glasses. Quote
stevenash Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 TVC- It must have come from Thinkprogress.org Quote
smitty Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 So.....how does one go to work if they cant afford daycare? So, BigGirl, where do you draw the line at "free" stuff. Because your reasoning can lead to an endless pit of everything being paid for by someone else. Quote
