President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Those numbers are bullshit -- and so are your predictions. More hair-on-fire nonsense.

 

Oh so you're saying the nonpartisan CBO estimate is bullshit? That's bullshit.

 

I'm going to bet they get several emails every day that thing runs from people who don't see the word "satire" over the headline and think it's real.

 

Yes. 32 million people will not lose coverage.

 

Nobody's got one of those. There are, however, steps that Congress has taken to mitigate the chances of needless, premature death.
The inevitably of death is a remarkably cynical and lazy way to look at public service.
Why protect the environment? We're all going to die anyway.
Why protect the country from invasion? We're all going to die anyway.
And on it goes.

 

Hmmm ... I didn't hear a peep of such when the ACA passed with many millions left uninsured. Its architects could have gone further, but they chose not to, meaning, per your logic, they chose to let those people die. I guess they didn't care, either.

 

No, they couldn't have gone further because they didn't have the votes -- thanks largely to the same bloc that is about to vote for a tax break to those who don't need it.

 

No it won't. Sheesh, does no one know how to do arithmetic -- or, you know, fucking read -- anymore?

 

Fascinating to see conservatives turn on the CBO, which is run by an ideologue picked by the current Secretary of Health and Human Services.

 

be careful

careful

 

"Why didn't you guys go further when we thwarted you every step of the way?" is exactly as stupid of a line of attack as I've learned to expect.

 

Hmmmmm .... I seem to have read that argument nowhere.
