    “The way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child,” Obama told voters in North Dakota in 2008..

    Now we are at $15 trillion and counting- wonder how we’ll pay for Obamacare ?

    Concerning Obamacare, the public seems to agree by a wide margin, with a recent Fox News poll finding that 59 percent of respondents felt the Supreme Court should repeal either the entire bill or parts of it. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll is even worse for the president, with a total of 67 percent saying the mandate or the whole law should be thrown out.

    My insurance policy per month increased from $530.87 to $679.22 per month. This is a single policy and neither I or my employer can afford the increase. This is not working.

    This is like Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents celebrating his birthday. Little did they know what a monster they created !

    Now you are free to look for a better job, or to shop around for different insurance without worrying about coverage for pre-existing conditions.

    President Reagan, the Godfather of the Republican Party, told the American people that a large deficit was a good thing for the nation. Now, wasn’t he a Republican? And didn’t Mr. Reagan nearly triple the federal budget deficit, as a result grew government, and didn’t he raise taxes also more than a few times during his eight years?

    Also, didn’t Mr. Reagan give amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants?

    I think he did all that and more. That would be anti-Republican rhetoric and behavior today.

    There are other insurance plans. That’s what the free market’s all about isn’t it?
