We tried telling people. No one wanted to listen. So we all get what THEY asked for.

"At this point, it looks like the best possible outcome is total collapse of the US Federal Gov sometime before November 2016."

I agree.

Regime changes is the best solution.

Of course it's inevitable anyway. NO regime in history has survived a currency collapse.

Some new form of government always emerges from the ashes.

Makes you wonder whether he already fell for a staffer?

They’re already crafting cop outs for failing to repeal this pile of merde.

There’s no hope.

Exactly.

And who cares if it is hard. Just do it!

So when a fireman goes to Paul’s house, which is on fire with family on the second floor screaming to be saved, the fireman has a ligit excuse that it is too hard?

He gets paid to do hard things.

Get at it.

By the way, there is another fellow in DC that talks about how governing is hard...

What is his name...

Obumbler????

The shine is gone from Paul as far as I am concerned.

Elect Ted Cruz!

Costly yes, impossible no.
What man has created, man can tear asunder.
It will be less costly than keeping it.
It's not the law that's entrenched, it's politicians who staked their careers on it.
To heck with them all.

Difficult does not equal impossible.

Of course not but Paul's being honest. Undoing it will be very difficult now that the machinations are in place (and some Republican voters are actually benefiting from it).

To use a couple of cliches, elections have consequences and you can't put toothpaste back in the tube. When Obamacare fails, it will be replaced by single payer. We're not going back. We don't have a time machine or a magic "do-over" button.

I was kinda thinking an asteroid strike or something like a Carrington event is going to be needed.

“I think one of the practical things you might be able to do, and I think the public at large might accept this, is to make ObamaCare voluntary"

An intriguing idea ...

You could offer a product and people could either:
a) Buy it
b) Not buy it.

Could this be a workable model for the health insurance industry?? Has any country ever tried this?
If such a concept worked, could it be extended to other products, such as milk or bread?? Imagine a world where you could choose to buy bread -- or not buy it!

This is genius. It will need a name. I suggest: ObamaMarket.

what part of o’care is free?
If it is free then shouldn’t everyone be automatically enrolled in it? everyone who pays taxes that is. The IRS knows who they are.

“An intriguing idea ...”

MADNESS!!! We cannot EVER be allowed choice. Especially not free choice. Are you some kind of nut? People would get ideas and then what would happen to the climate?

Arm up, as the day of the soap box and ballot box may be drawing to a close.

Who would have ever thought such a statement about America could be even slightly possible?

I have said that for three years. Friends have left the country, one who is French left for Spain and has complete coverage there so long as he is not in France. His wife recently underwent a cancer surgery (in the US), she survived and now has full coverage with her husband. Admittedly they are taking advantage of the French law, but that is where it ends. Everyone is taking advantage of another, exactly where we are with Obamacare; the producers are paying the subsidies for the non-producers. The end is near, every politician sees it, yet we are still headed off a cliff. Stop this insanity!!!!
