Trump didn't say WHICH Tuesday or Wednesday!

Edit for grammar.

4. Probably meant the second tuesday of next week...

I'm sure we can trust him to come clean.

6. Its hard to trust anyone

who says, "Believe me folks" after every other sentence! I can't believe tens of millions of people fall for his crap. He's not even a good liar.

3. Wait....whut...?

That's money that could be going to the pharma industry.

Need to work on that.

5. And the insurance companies have probably saved more

in not having to pay the expenses associated with the pregnancies that were prevented.

7. Something tells me, this is going to be a very, very long

four years.

8. Fiscal Conservative Paradox: Every staved birth saves taxpayers about $300K in ed/support monies.

.


The $16K - $18K a year in education, preschool, medical, housing, food and supportive services adds up to about $300K per child.

If 10,000 births are prevented, that's 300000 x 10000 or $3,000,000,000. Yes, that's $3 BILLION over 19 years, which includes neonatal services.


That was one of the reasons why Rick Perry stopped the oppressive actions a few years back, the state and local budgets would explode in costs, soon making their state one of the most expensive to live in. Now, for some crazy reason, he's back to embracing those crazy schemes to cause a population explosion in his state.

9. No we have a different idiot now, Gov. Greg Abbott. You know,

the other one who took Trump's bribe to drop investigation into Trump U. He was paid $10k more than Pam Bondi of Florida but they never speak of him. Trump definitely doesn't believe in pay equity!

10. It's not about money. It's about keepin' "the harlots off the jimmy hat gravy train."

What a great turn of phrase. I admit I had to look up "jimmy hat" in the online slang dictionary. (It means condom.)

In fact, in preparation to repeal Obamacare, congress changed a rule "exempting any repeal or replacement measure from congressional limits on how much legislation can increase direct spending." I'm quoting from Politico (though I heard about it on The Young Turks). What this means is congress expects the repeal of Obamacare to cost the government a lot of money. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

11. Abortion rate has gone down,

but the birthrate has not increased. Preventing unwanted pregnancies. Of course for those who think that "sex must have consequences", they don't like this.

[IronLionZion]

12. Birth control prevents abortions

these stupid dumbass pro-lifers

[Ghost OF Trotsky]

13. Selfish YOU see 1.4 billion saved

*THEY* see 1.4 billion in rightfully earned, productivity enhancing, God Blessed, all American dollars in executive bonuses shamefully denied by lazy socialists.
