They might think it will go away. they might think they fall under the BO parachute, but they don’t.

And they won’t.

If you think people will put up with triple premiums, no health insurance for their families, penalties for no insurance to pay for undocumented and non working people and the economy will hum along or improve, instead of come to a complete hale and people will still work to support congresspeople who forced this thing in when the Constitution says congress will pass no law that they don’t fall under, then no one will stop you. I just think this week might come out a whole lot differently than all the media thinks it will.

But I just think this week is g

You are dreaming. This country has reached a tipping point. The welfare state is fully-imbedded with the takers outnumbering and out voting the producers. And crony capitalism is in full bloom with government controlling over 40% of our GDP. The low information voter predominates. Defunding Obamacare is going nowhere. And repeal will not happen under Obama or Hillary who is almost certain to be the next President of the US. Demography is destiny.

What would the Supreme Court say about exemptions?

What about the Equal Protection clause?

The money has already run out. We are deep in debt and things are getting worse. However, the dollar remains the world reserve currency and that will not change anytime soon. The US economy, as bad as it is, is still the world’s safe harbor when it comes to investing and protecting their money and it is also the largest thus able to absorb huge investments. How long that will continue is anyone’s guess, but I suspect we will have both left this mortal coil long before it happens.

Blah blah. It’s like what people talk about at the bar after a golf game

The issue is not how we can live off of the reputation and economy our parents gave us but what is obamacare about to do to us

We cannot afford it and we cannot afford what it will do to our economy. Our children are supposed to fix it?

We’re not even educating them

Dreams

End it, don't mend it. The problem is that once it is fully implemented, it will be virtually impossible to repeal it. Obama and Hillary will ensure that it is fully implemented. It will become like Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid and Food Stamps, i.e., permanent government programs that will never be abolished.
