Well now that they have caved on the amnesty edict, they can start to pretend to appose Obama again.
Here is how this plays out. Obama will call on the Republicans to establish federal exchanges. The Republicans will screw around until the last minute with a few bills that try to sound conservative. The Senate Democrats will block everything from making it to the floor, while wailing that Republicans are leaving the poor exposed to ruin. The rinos will beat up the conservative Republicans with as much zeal as Obama and the Democrats. Even if they get a bill to Obama, he will veto it and blame it on uncaring conservatives. At the last minute, Republicans, under the capable leadership of the 97 pound weakling will cave, and give Obamacare the assistance it needs to continue to grow.
Oh, and I forgot the mention. We will get beat up by Freepers who want us to believe we can’t win this fight. We need to focus on a fight we can win. (which apparently doesn’t exist)
I don’t know. Sessions has pretty good cred.
If the goal with saying this is to convince Roberts and Kennedy that there’ll be a soft landing if they kill the subsidies, then I don’t have a problem with it.
Have heard a rumor that Obamacare has another tax buried inside it.
This tax/fee is supposed to be 3% ‘transfer fee’ on all real estate transactions.
Since the home sales market is still moribund, this could be a killer.
Anyone know if this is true & when it comes into effect???
Yes, it would only last until the next "limited" extension.
Evaluating = Take Bribe
Well, the “conservatives” just told Obama “You can do it your way. Or we’ll do it yOUR way.”
You don’t consider Cruz and Sessions “key conservatives”?
I think it was 2 years ago when I started calling for a second party.
I also said winning the house in 2010 was probably going to turn out worse for the country than if the dems had held onto it. Maybe we should let the democrats have it all. They had it all for 2 years then was thrown out in a landslide.
The 3% only applies to a certain priced house. In fact, I think the number is $300,000 and up. The median priced home in Houston is near that amount. They’ve gone up that fast.
It may be a half million.
They must all own stock in healthcare stocks like boehner.
Once again- I told ya so!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I didn’t expect was that they would be announcing it ahead of time.
Well not to worry because John Roberts will make sure the ACA is alive and well and controlling your life.
‘You dont consider Cruz and Sessions key conservatives?’
Actions speak louder than words.
I agree. It’s amazing who quick they turn.
