Apparently you've done what no one else has done -- confirmed the kids go to school on scholarships. Congratulations!

However, you simultaneously missed the part where they chose not to use an insurance plan available to them that was about one-third as expensive as the one he said he couldn't afford. So you just lost all the bonus points you won above. So sorry.

Hey, the family decided to make their economic and insurance status an arguing point for politics. At that point, when they are using their finances to make poliitical arguments, they (and you) have no right to complain if others decide to look at just what that status is. There's no such thing as a Nixonesque "modified limited hang-out."

And what -- no comment on the funding being hinged on a tax on cigarettes? That tax will not only hit the poor and disabled disproportionately, but the government is working to END smoking -- and if they do, there goes the revenues.

So those who disagree with the massive expansion are "mean, vicious, and whacky?" Fine. Those who are swallowing this boondoggle are dense, denser, and densest.

Regarding cost of insurance: "Of course, we don't know their medical history to see if that was even possible."

Confirming once again that conservatives can't read.

Having a discussion about trolls recently I said I cut a lot of slack to those who sign their names and don't to Mr. Anon.

This is being described by the right as a "massive" expansion after it was negotiated with Republicans in Congress to where there is a 60/40 chance they will override the veto.

Check out FACTCHECK.ORG. Bush lied about this plan, Now there is a surprise.

I agree with Republican John Cole, this is a smear campaign and a creepy stalking of private citizens.
