ObamaCare increases the costs of doing business in the USA.

Healthcare isn’t the only thing in the budget


Nope, but I reckon its probably the one that will effect the next generation and the one after the most.

Nationalizing 1/6 of the economy is a pretty big deal. Destroying the economy is a pretty big deal. Taking away our freedoms and funding a law that give the Federal Government the power to regulate almost every aspect of our lives at a whim and uses the IRS to enforce it is a pretty big deal.

You want to send more jobs oversea, then get rid of full-time work in America. That's what happened in France, Mark Steyn has done some great articles on it. You can't bring back jobs by throwing more arcane rules and mumbo-jumbo regulation at U S employers.

Obammacare is ‘hugh’.

Manufacturing jobs are being created every day, just come down to TX and you’ll see it. If Obamacare and immigration reform aren’t stopped you’ll be referring to 2013 as the ‘good old days’.

What I am saying is, bring back American businesses, to America.

Do this first.

Bring American jobs back now. Protect them, with some sort of American-centric taxes on foreign goods. High enough to start to rebuild America.

THEN worry about insurance. Right now our country is heading straight toward a huge problem: Not enough jobs.

Our unemployment rate is HIGH. Factories have shut all over America, and yet we continue to go along pretending this is somehow aok.

This is not aok.

America needs jobs. Bring back American jobs.

It really doesn’t matter anymore. The so-called “compromise” bill changed the way that any future debt limit is to be voted upon. All future debt limit increases are AUTOMATIC and must be voted DOWN by Congress. In essence, Congress gave the purse strings to the president. In their rush to “open the government” and pass a bill before they read it, the Congress just granted Führer status to Obumba.

"It is a bad bill, a costly bill (which is not sustainable), increase the power of the IRS, controls one 7th of the economy.......how can you not get that."

Exactly. Why would we join the damned GOP elite in attacking one of the very few fighters on our side?

I’m all for Cruz. 100%.

I’m just not for Cruz spending all this political capital fighting for insurance payments, on what are increasingly Chinese goods.

We need to build stuff in America.

Now.

Pivot, Cruz.

It has to be hammered into the LIVers heads that Ted and TEA tried to save EVERYBODY, not just conservatives.

ALL Democrats support ObamaCare; 114 Republican Senators and Congressmen support ObamaCare; the media support ObamaCare. Ted Cruz and the Tea Party do not.

It's YOUR call, America.

It has been explained to you in this thread, and more than once, that Obamacare isn't about insurance payments.

It's about the most destructive legislation we have seen. Indeed, you shouldn't NEED to have it explained to you. Have you been under a rock? On a desert island? What...?

I am saying Obamacare is about American jobs.

You are focused on Obamacare. I am looking one issue further: American employment.

We need to build up American jobs.

That is what I am saying. For an entire generation we have been cutting America down.

BUILD AMERICA UP AGAIN.

Okay, I see from checking your posting history that this is some kind of one-note topic you keep posting over and over, no matter what thread you’re on. So never mind; you aren’t absorbing a thing people are saying. Carry on.

He actually supports Obamacare! No wonder he’s against Cruz trying to stop it.

Wonder if it isn’t Micheal Medved posting. He says the same thing Medvid is saying.
