Good for him. That silly talking point has to be shot down every time they chant it.

| 3. Yes...more options for seniors...because insurance companies are begging to cover the elderly. |
|
I loved Chris' face when she said they have lots of options.

| 8. It's like this Marsha.... |

You currently make approx $174k per year. You can cover your bills on that amount. Lets say we cut your salary by 10%, and you can't cover your bills any more. Now, is that a spending problem or a revenue problem? When you cut off revenue from taxes, that is exactly what you are doing.

Spending from George Washington thru Jimmy Carter was not a problem. But since the debt has increased by 14-fold since Jimmy Carter, spending is the problem? Spending - X = Debt therefore X=? Where does Revenue fit into the equation?

And apparently, you can solve the debt increasing taxes on the poor (who have no money).
