If memory serves, didn’t the Dems control both sides of the capitol during the Reagan years too?

Guilding the lily won`t save a RAT come November.  Word of the day: toast!

Overlord!

Bob1.... hahahahahaaaaaa!

She is clearly no more than a PROP for Obamacare!

why is it soooooo unacceptable now?

Because you suck, and we don’t. The time for talk is over. We’re gonna get you and your little dog too.

Hope that clears things up, hippie.

Elsewhere, it has been noted that she has been out of work for at least twelve of those years. So her bills are being paid, have been for years, whether private or government programs or combination.

That was the start of my incredible and impeccable credit rating that we hold to this day.

Back when me and JR were just dating he had a fainting spell that scared the crap out of me. Emergency folks responded and we decided to have him checked out at the hospital....I had him go in an ambulance because we just didn’t know what was wrong.
A few hours and a bunch of tests concluded that he had simply gotten dehydrated...they gave him a couple bags of saline and let him go.
We had no insurance and he was just starting out in his career so we really didn’t have too good of jobs at the time.

I don’t remember how much the ambulance and the hospital bill was but we paid about $50 a month for a few years until it was paid off.

Never even considered doing anything but........

Squash Caserole.

11B40—that’s the way I remember things.  You saved and scrimped, hopefully for a retirement nest egg, but also against the chance that something catastrophic hit you.  Back in the day, YOU were responsible for your bills, not society.  You might try for a loan to tide you over in an emergency, or you could try tapping family for a loan, but ultimately you were still expected to pay your way through life.

Would it be too gauche to print out some IHOP coupons and pass them out at this gathering?

BTW, ^ that’s what got the majority of the people losing their homes in this “mortgage crisis” crap into this mess…

What was involved back then was rather inconsequential.  They were going through the motions anyway.

What’s at stake today is much more serious—a substantive change to the US economy and ultimately, our political freedom.  If they can’t vote on something this fundamentally massive, then they shouldn’t rely on smoke and mirrors.  This requires a straight up-or-down vote, not smoke and mirrors. It just shows they haven’t the courage to ask for a real vote.

“Speaking truth to power.” WTF does that really mean?

How many people re-fi to buy big screen television sets and expensive vacations…

Forgive my cerebral density, but why shouldn’t she lose her house? 

This is more of the logic that is helping to bankrupt this country via the housing “crisis”.  The equity that one has in real property is an asset that can and should be used to pay her medical bills as much as possible.  Why should other people and organizations rescue her from the consequences of her own (mis)behavior.  And if her equity is to be protected, why not everyone else’s assets, be they stocks, bonds, bank accounts or businesses?

I’ll go with Doug, and I’ll bring minced meat and wear a Israeli hat.

Blue dog thinks: “So what are you giving away next year Barry? TB or cancer? Do me an actually useful favor; go fuck yourself and stay away from me.”

Very sorry she’s had cancer for the last 16 years, but why should I pay for her? She’s nothing to me.
