How about a flat out "not no, but hell no because we can't afford it"?

Nah, republicans are too politically afraid to tote a backbone.

The Republican Alternative to “Obamacare” Has Flaws

Do ya THINK?

Any nation-wide health care plan is going to have flaws. But as incompetent as the Republicrats are, I bet their plan has fewer flaws than the Obamessiah's.

All I want the damm gov. to do is get the free medicine that the illegals are using off our backs!

That’s a good start.

Then maybe we can talk

Here’s a radical idea. How about just getting the government out of everything that’s none of their business? Last year that would probably have been about 80% of everything they spent, this year it will probably be more like 90%.

In last year’s federal budget, Medicare and Medicaid took 23% of all spending, and Social Security took 21% of all spending. And this was not based on just tax revenues, but on $455B deficit spending as well.

That is, the government took in $2.5T in tax revenues, and spent $2.9T.

This year, tax revenues are down by at least a third. This means that projected federal tax revenues should be about $1.6T, and deficit spending will jump by at least $1T beyond Obama’s projections—just to stay at the same level of spending we are right now.

If Obama plans to spend even MORE money, all of it, every bit, will add to the national deficit. Since it is physically impossible to get that money out of taxes, we are totally reliant on anyone that loans us money.

And not just to keep loaning us huge amounts of money, but to double or even triple the amount they loan us.

In short, it ain’t gonna happen.
