FWIW, my prediction is that The Messiah will let these people get a taste of life on no benefits, then, long about April or May will use the Executive Order route to give them another 6 months of benefits. His thinking will be that if any of them doubted him before, he will definitely buy their votes this time around. Yes, he IS that much of a scumbag!

BONG! BONG! BONG!

No further calls, ladies and gentlemen. We have a winner.

You’re right. Bread and circuses. Since all his ideas are failures, the only thing he can do is buy off as many people as he can and hope it’s enough to squeak past election.

We have a winner. Of course all world bamster will push for another extension, however I see another year so it compares with most eurozone countries, 36 months. Buying votes is nothing new for this crowd. Remember Bush secured the seniors with prescription drug coverage. Of course an honorable child will purchase drugs for a parent in need rather than buy that 3D 75” TV but not in today's America. Aging parents are the problem of the government not families. Crazy kinda country where freedom is sold for such a cheep price.
