Hmmm...

Agree or disagree with Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, et al.  That's not the point here.  These guys were elected by their constituents after they promised to do anything they could to repeal ObamaCare.  (Remember, it is Obama who said, "Elections have consequences" and "We won....")  That is, they made promises to the voters, promises the voters endorsed with, well, their votes.  So, now Lee, Cruz, et al are being excoriated on all sides--even by their own party--for taking the stances they are taking.  How odd!  These guys are actually living up to their campaign promises and they are bad guys for doing so.  Meanwhile, the many other Republicans who made similar promises and are now pussyfooting around are being upheld as "bipartisan," working together for a solution to whatever.  But they are breaking their campaign promises, yet are extolled as being good.  So, liars, cheaters, and deceivers are the good guys and those who keep their promises are the bad guys.  We've created a great world, haven't we?  Just a great world.

"It's a good law," the guy wrote.  "It won't make us healthier and it won't lower costs.  But it's a good law."  OK, those aren't the exact words--I can't find the magazine from last week where the exact quotation is.  But it is the essence of them.  They came from one of the television medical gurus.  I don't watch much television, so I have no idea what the guy's name is.  "It wont' make us healthier and it won't lower costs......"  Yep.

I guess some EBT snafu with bridge cards caused some problems in some states last weekend.  Holders of cards could get as much as they want--the amounts on the cards weren't read.  For instance, according to one report, one woman bought more than $900 worth of food with just a fraction of that on her card.  One store in LA had its shelves emptied once word got out the cards were good for the sky.  Isn't that fraud?  I don't know, but I'm pretty sure if it is, nobody will be prosecuted.
