Try to keep up. The Democrats have agreed to let the device tax go for 2 years...but the GOP still wants to do away with subsidies for Obamacare, which is the non-negotiable point.

The big problem is that Boehner can't deliver the votes to pass *anything* within his own caucus. Whatever he negotiates, they still say 'no' to.

That is the sad part, Boner is a complete waste of space for a House leader, and Cantor is so slimy he acts like he bathes in grease.

Who does that? Really. You can get on any insurance site, any site that offers a service or product and view those services/products and their options and prices BEFORE giving all your information. Don't you find that disturbing? Intrusive? Data mining? Dictatorial?

Behold your "progressive" = Socialist party, remaking Amerkia, the USSA, one power-grabbing ponzi scheme at a time.
Thanks. I put the links I checked. You put up a "whatever."

That sounds legit.

Agreed, it is a minor issue and shouldn't ever have been a talking point.

They voted the Republicans in right?
So those old white men can just suck it up and not be on the government

I don't want to pay for them. Just like they don't want to pay for the younger
workforce or military families on food stamps either.
It'll do them all good to see what it's like without government.
LOL!
Yeah, take away social security to punish republicans for the way they vote, and put more democrats on government dependency or raise their benefits as a reward for their wisdom when they voted.

As if there isn't a democrat that isn't collecting social security or depends on government to put the roof over their head/feed them/clothe them/provide medical benefits/provides childcare outlets so the mothers can get their hair done and a mani-pedi, or just lay around at home watching her favorite TV programs (on cable) in peace and quiet.

How about we take EVERYONE off of government dependency, the majority of which are democrats in name only. How does that sound?

Still waiting for your proof. Or was this like that Obama is being impeached thread. Probably.

Don't worry - - - once the government collapses, spending cuts will hit 100%.
