The taxes I pay to the State are NOT the same as they were in 1991.

Obama, Reid, Pelosi and all but 2 Democrats shut down the entire Federal Government rather that "delay" ObamaCare for one year.
The mantra then was "Thou shall not touch settled Law and the President's signature Law".

Well Ted Cruz was right about Obamacare and Mit Romney was right about Russia.

I see a pattern here…do you?

For some reason the Dems have a hard time understanding that as costs rise, prices rise. It is a vicious circle.

I understand that, so why did we wait 23 years to raise the gas tax?

Yes I do! It's called Blockheaded Republican Obstructionism, brought to us by the knuckleheads in the Tea Party.

I would love to know how much NH has collected in fuel taxes for the past 23 years. If they had spent it on the roads and bridges we would have roads and bridges paved with gold.

Yeah, right! The state forcibly dumps Middleton Rd in our lap by telling us that we're not even on the 10 year plan, and 109A is like driving across the moon! The state tells the local towns that they have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars more to the state retirement system, to make up for the failures of Administrations years ago who didn't make state contributions! The state strips out payments to hospitals so badly that health insurance rates must skyrocket. All of that money comes out of yourproperty taxes and health insurance premiums! But the state can say they balanced their budget! Rolling Eyes

The signups hit 6 million today!

We could hit 6.5 million by Monday:

That would only be 500,000 short of the original forecast by the CBO before the disastrous rollout!

Why stop now?

Exactly,

The quarter ends Monday and the big public insurance companies will prepare their reports. They typically report paid enrollment. We'll know soon enough the real numbers.

But it appears Joe Wilson was right.

Obamacare navigators are working in the Mexican Consulates signing people up. Shocked

How about DemoCare?

Funny, that the words "train-wreck" is used so eloquently in describing "DemoCare"—everybody knows of what issue we are speaking about!

As reported:

Sebelius’ guarantee that she wouldn’t push back open enrollment wasn’t her only misleading statement of the day. In her testimony, she told Congress that HHS wasn’t keeping track of the number of Obamacare enrollees who have paid their premiums. But it now appears she was just trying to inflate Obamacare’s numbers – like LBJ inflating the enemy casualty figures in Vietnam – to cover up the gap between people who have “enrolled” and people who haven’t paid for their enrollment. Days later, the Ways and Means Committee learned from an HHS website that the agency actually does have this information and was just keeping it secret.
—Townhall

But didn't Kathleen Sebelius testify before a congressional committee, claiming that she really didn’t know how many of Democare sign ups had actually bought and paid for their insurance. Nor did she know how many of the “sign ups” had signed up because their policies had been canceled. That is either a flat lie or monumental incompetence.
—Bpk.com

I go with incompetence.

Very Happy

The surge of signups in Red states has been staggering over the weekend. It's too bad that their Republican representatives don't realize that they want health insurance!

http://www.politicususa.com/2014/03/31/red-state-enrollment-surges-obamacare-deadline-approaches.html

The number may come close to hitting 7 million by the end of today:

Are there any Republicans out there who really think they'll be able to do away with Obamacare?

Get real!

'Cause it's "free"?

In Sebelius' testimony, she told Congress that HHS wasn’t keeping track of the number of Obamacare enrollees who have paid their premiums—Townhall

Today, I passed a billboard that stated "You can sign up for Obamacare—maybe for '0' (zero) money".
