I just read it’s trending in AUSTIN TX for Pete’s sake! Austin!
the taxes and fees stay.
the exchanges stay.
the mandates stay...only the funding is missing.
if we’re going to give everyone a free ride...where’s the conservatism?
plus they want to undo sequester to spend elsewhere...where’s the conservatism?
conservatives caved and allowed carve-outs for Congressional staffers (via subsidies) -
