Failure was the great promise of ObamaCare. Implosion was the plan. Democrats were counting on it

Remember: All of this was by design. Failure was the great promise of ObamaCare. Implosion was the plan. Democrats were counting on it, with the intention that Hillary would be in office to pick up the pieces and march the nation over the single-payer cliff.

That, of course, is where the plan fell apart.

I don’t know. This will work out pretty good for them, too, if they handle it right. Not the first time the Democrats have given the people a Prezzie, and when it failed blamed their Republican predecessors and successors.

After all, FDR’s Great Depression was all Herbert Hoover’s fault, wasn’t it?

"There goes our white privilege."

I know you're joking, but I am so sick of that term by the racist commie snowflakes. I left a broken home at 16 and worked every menial job you can imagine. I worked alongside whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, and every mix in-between. We all made the same pitiful hourly wage. Don't know what happened to those co-workers, but I made something of myself out of hard work, determination, and good decisions. Guess there are some whites who have experienced some privilege due to affluent parents, but I wasn't one.

Think about the white coal miners of Appalachia. Do the racists think they are privileged? What about all the other dirty low-paying jobs that whites do? Then you have affirmative action that gives privileges to minorities when they don't qualify. No one discusses that.

I'm sick of this class/racial warfare that Obama helped to further. America had grown past that crap until Obama and his socialist/commie ilk. Used to be when a thug grabbed for a cop's gun and was shot, it was a righteous shoot. Not now. End rant for the good of my mental health...haha.

Time to let Obamacare crash and burn. Surely, the fascist “democrats” have a plan. The GOP should wash its hands of Obamacare. Don’t “repeal”, don’t “repair”, don’t “fix”. F ‘em. The Kenyan had to have left them some instructions on what to do when his fiasco collapses.

I agree - it’s the worst insult to suggest that because I’m European/Scandinavian, that I am privileged by default.

I remember 5:00 a.m. at the slaughterhouse as a college student collecting tissues for the lab; I’ve dug flower bulbs in cold mud, waited tables, bagged and stacked chemical fertilizer, and stood long hours in the cannery sorting conveyors of fruit. I’m sick to death of this incessant, baseless mockery; it wasn’t my skin that got me where I am, it was hard work and ambition.
