As long as it prolongs or better yet stops Obamacare I'm all for it. I don't care what it cost, it will be a lot cheaper in the long run than Obamacare.
I don't think either party thinks or cares what obamacare does. That's NOT their agenda. Their agenda is to be able to blame the other party for any current or future economic downturn. The pugs did some serious bad crap and now are in an extremely weak political position. They see this.. and I see this. What they can't see is a way out AND... to keep the status quo.. me either. The correct thing to do would be give up the status quo and do whats right... but those in power will NOT give up that power... so they are horribly stuck, and need all the ammo they can scrap up from here until the next election cycle.
The dems, also see all this. But their bed is NO bed of rose petals either. First they have the pugs doing all they can per above, and then there is the level of expectations that probably are not being met, by their own supporters. Yes, Lemonjallo... you will get insurance, but its gonna cost YOU. Yes, Shamantra, we did what the bankers made us do, and sorry but no job for you.
So the dems are on damage control, while the pugs are making up fake crisis.
Which side cares about the economy- neither, its all just party politics. Let them eat cake!
