What a sick, sick system, this Obamacare trades health payments to insurance companies while screwing folks in need.

Democrats are sick.

Republicans want to pursue the same sickness.

Nope...no sale.ObamaCare===>utter failure===>complete repeal.Wetbacks===> huge damage to the country===>they go home and a wall is built.

The people of Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania (among many others) demand it.

This is good.
No way the Dems and RINOs can win this debate, nor continue to hide these huge subsidies (as they have ).

The cost of the friggin’ wall is no larger than a rounding eerror in the federal budget. FUrthermore, Illegals are costing us over $200 billion ANNUALLY.
