Christie jabs Obama: ObamaCare a 'failure'
The Hill ^ | July 12, 2014 | Martin Matishak

In what could be the latest move toward a 2016 presidential bid, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) offered a wide-ranging critique of President Obama’s domestic and foreign policies.

Speaking to reporters at the National Governors Association on Saturday, Christie labeled Obamacare, the administration’s signature legislation, a “failure on a whole number of levels” and said it should be repealed.

“But has to be repeal and replace with what. It can’t just be about repeal,” Christie told the audience. “What I’ve said before is, what Republicans need to be doing is putting forth alternatives for what should be a better healthcare system.” He also urged his GOP colleagues to keep bringing up their opposition to same-sex marriage, even though a series of court decisions have overturned many statewide gay marriage bans.

As a Chunko-American myself, I should not be laughing at this ... but I am.

I saw an article just today about how if the Cleveland team is in the playoffs because now they have Lebron James, it could conflict with the GOP Convention.

An early convention means exactly one thing: The winner will have much longer to move to the center and gain votes. My guess is that the GOP is counting on a Romney, Christie or Bush to win and need the extra weeks to cuddle up with the left.

“To get out of this mess they need young people to pay FICA taxes (illegals)”

That may be part of their plan, but illegals take far more than they pay. And the only way for Socialized Security to work is to have more high wage earners subsidizing the lower earners. Illegals will be in the latter category. For the few that actually pay taxes.

From the States, yes. Not so much from the Feds.

Seems a way to just keep the SS Ponzi scheme operational for just a few more years. Long term, with more low wage earners getting more than they’ve paid in, it will collapse.

Long term, like ... a few decades at best ;(

States - 36 have decided they can’t handle paying 10% of expanded Medicaid in their budgets. How could they handle more welfare, food stamps, Obamacare? And state budgets have to balance, they don’t have printing presses. Guess the feds just couldn’t care less?
