HEY STRATEDUDE! (Just borrowing your typeface for a sec.)
Are you gonna respond to HazelGod? Or are you just gonna move on to the next thread, like you always do when anyone challenges your usual string of baseless, unsubstantiated, hyperbolic, apoplectic statements?
I know you will find this hard to believe but I was actually going to site every one of my assertions, but I had to get off the cpu at the time and I just wanted to get the post up. But don't think for one second that I didn't see Hazel's inquiry coming 1000 miles away. And don't think that those questions somehow invalidates any of the claims. Maybe facts or figures to the contrary would but those weren't posted. However I chose to ignore it because his very first question was so stupid and pointless that in my opinion disqualified the whole from rating a response.
But if you are that curious I can answer the 'valid' questions. First of all most of them can be easily found by doing research. I shouldn't have to do that for you guys. If I did then we all might as well admit that I more capable and knowledgeable than you guys so just listen and learn.
But to answer one question, the changes are permanent because the law creates a social entitlement. Everyone knows that once a social entitlement becomes law, they always become a political "third rail" particularly when they are very massive like Social Security. This makes it nearly impossible to repeal or make any major changes to. Health Care will be even worse if it causes the private insurance sector to collapse, creating a single payer, government run system because it will be even more difficult to replace an entire private industry. In effect if becomes extinct. So trust me when I say that if Obamacare is not repealed, unfunded, or overhauled before it goes 100% in effect, it WILL be permanent.
I could write a novel siting all the others. What is your number one concern with my post and lets start with that. For now I'm going to bed with a clear conscience.
