Dead political career walking.
Can someone please explain to me how it is that someone making $173K per year ‘qualifies’ for an income-based government handout?
Another empty haircut.
He also wants a kiss afterword.
It would’ve been nice to see one Republican say, “No f’ing way.”
Do they even teach civics much less ethics these days at any level of education in this country?
This goes to show that some animals are dumber than ever,, yet rate special handling becuz of their stripes.
why wouldn’t someone with common sense know to pay the 10Gs out of pocket. He’ll lose a ton more than that by losing all hope of not being involved with the Tea Party takeover of the GOP.
these guys have dems and that nonsensical guy in the WH running circles around them. They think they can get ahead of the Tea Party?
Young people in the next three years will come to realize how these people and NOT the Tea Party intend to have them pay for all of this.
They think awareness is not going to grow exponentially?
Do they not pay attention to the new media, the internet?
Who is Rubio’s wife? What is she so busy doing that she is not advising him on simple matters like any attentive wife does (I know it’s not the norm, now, but it is the order of things past and to come) a sensible wife would have told him, let go of the $10 Gs. It’s the principle.
I mean people just don’t manage their career and finances.
This guy was golden now he’s a lump of coal in a santa stocking.
Where’s my subsidy, Marco?
Speaking from my small ObamaCare observatory, I think Senator Rubio protests too much and is a cause rather than a solution.
Well, this being “the season of giving”, I am sure all of the hard-working, tax-paying FReepers such as myself, are just feeling all warm and fuzzy about being able to give the federal employees this extra $10,000 apiece to put toward their health insurance. Right? /s
I just found out from another thread on here that Rand Paul had endorsed Mitch McConnell in the KY GOP Senatorial Primary. Now, this! WTH? Is there no “pure” Conservative whom we can trust to “go to the mat” for us? I’m thinking not.
He states this as though he works for IBM. Every employee of the federal government is funded by the taxpayer - these cretins voted themselves this subsidy and act as though some shadowy entity thrust this benefit upon them.
It is an employer contribution. When they were NOT in the exchange, their employer contributed a percentage of the cost of health care, just as MY employer contributes a percentage of the cost of health care.
And if your employer puts you in an exchange, the employer can still sponsor you with a contribution.
This is different from the “subsidies” of the exchange, which are available to people who vote democrat. I mean who are below a certain income level.
Yes, our representatives get paid a fairly decent wage, but it is not like these guys are all millionaires.
So in the big scheme of things, this is way down my list of concerns for our country, and is more of a liberal distraction trying to keep us from the important issues that face us.
Voted for you Marco.
You lied.
I will not support you again pal for anything.
marco castro kruchev gorbachev clinton marx rubio embraces communist health care.
And fools laughed at me when I voted for Libertarian Alex Snitker instead of Marco Rubio in the 2010 FL Senate race.
Now if I can find Rubio’s speech where he endorsed using tax dollars to fight Global Warming...
Marco Rubio was never a conservative
