Not only do they own it, they shoved it down our throats.
It didn’t need to be.
When you see, with any policy, that the same STATED goals could have been achieved without the negative consequences,
conclude that the negative consequences were the real goals all along.
Pretty good summary! I agree
Of course, it's the same story....only working people pay.
I'm 71. Worked all my life. They take $105 right out of my SS check every month and I have to buy a supplement, too. That's more than I spend on food.
Senator Gillibrand (Rat-NY) admitted to Martha Radditz about a year ago that the Rat Party caucus *knew* that those promises were lies as they were passing the bill.
And Barney Fa...sorry,Frank...has admitted the very same thing.
Complicated? BARBARA STREISAND!
"The propensity of all single and numerous assemblies (is) to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788Oh, to have the current generations as well informed as the Founders of America on the nature of tyranny, an awareness of the history of the means by which imperfect people in positions of power in government can mislead "the People" into surrendering their liberty, and of the provisions of their own Constitution!"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few not for the many." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what is will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
Note particularly the following words of wisdom from Federalist No. 63:
"As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?" - Federalist Papers, No. 63, 1788
Complicated..more like designed by Rube Goldberg while on LSD. Tell us Tom...did you EVER read that 2,000 page bill before you voted on it?
Ya think? The authors probably never read the thing, save for the guy in prison, who most likely did it as a cruel joke. It is piecemeal legislation, some of it done by these staff members, and some done by those staff members, and those staff members passed it around to leftist think tanks, who gave it to the cleaning help for ideas. Then it went to the lawyers.
Meanwhile, the Congressmen who finally past it as law, and the idiot who signed it into law, think they are smarter than our founding fathers who anticipated how dumb these clowns would be when they wrote the Constitution, but the authors of Obamacare aren’t paying attention.
His current statement is complete and utter bull squeeze! Marxists love complex laws that ensure their subjects are in a constant state of confusion. Complexity in legislation gives their unelected branch (HHS) more flexibility to rule with an iron fist!
FU Harkin. Good thing we held our nose and gave McConnel a huge victory. Now we get to hear about how the GOP is trying to fund Obamacare through September next year.
Of course... it is deliberately BADLY WRITTEN
Hey Tommy - you got Grubered!
YOU are the stupid voter Gruber was talking about.
Shumer - We wasted time working on the wrong thing.
Harkin - What we worked on, we did it wrong.
Pretty sums up a democrat congress...
If he thinks they should have gone for single payer, he still hasn’t gotten the message of 2010 and 2014.
In general, people wanted fixes (e.g. pre-existing conditions, clinics so uninsured didn’t clog ER’s), but they never supported a wholesale takeover of the health care/insurance system.
Harkin will never have to face voters again, so maybe he is being brutally honest (probably for the first time in his dungheap life).
Lies are always “complicated”. Typical DIM/LIB behavior. Typical.
All the laws and regulations for the Unaffordable Care Act should indeed be shredded...and fed to Sen. Tom Harkin.
FU creep. This STOLEN VALOR D-Bag is beneath contempt.
GO AWAY already and check your Depends. Something stinks when you are near.
Only a genius like Obama can understand it. We are nothing
compared to Dear Leader.
I think they thought, rightly so, that they’d pass it and then republicans would work with them to “fix” it.
Neither party thought that the push back would create the TEA party. Once created, we made Obamacare radioactive. No republican can touch it. No democrat in any way vulnerable can survive it (29/60 in the Senate will be gone as of Sat).
They didn’t contemplate the voting public dividing the uni-party on this issue. That’s what they regret.
Stone him!!
