smilin' faces
where is all the kumbaya, after they realized the fire breathing after the "we thought cheating would guarantee our win" in 2012.
they are carrying on with the same tattered paged playbook that has not won anything since Preibus took over.
his plan to do what they keep claiming Pres. is not doing, leading, but when faced with the truth they modify "he's leading from behind", they are their own joke writers.
they had the chance to lead and their GPS obviously was a GPO faulty plan because all they did for their last 8years was kill a bunch of our loved ones kill the economy and kill the bus they drove us into the ditch with, hmmmm no wonder they saber wave they are stuck on killing things.
The top two Republicans in Congress informed President Obama on Thursday that they will refuse to fulfill their duty under the Affordable Care Act to recommend members of a new board with the power to contain Medicare spending.It’s a dramatic power-play driven by the explosive partisan politics of Obamacare and with potentially important implications for federal health care policy.In a letter to President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) noted their original opposition to Obamacare, reiterated their intent to repeal it entirely, and declared that they would not make any appointments to the Independent PaymentAdvisory Board.The IPAB is a 15-member panel whose members must be confirmed by the Senate. The President selects three members himself and is required by law to seek three recommendations each from the top Democrat and Republican in each chamber. With Thursday’s letter, Boehner and McConnell refused to make any recommendations.
who is not leading?? the Pres. is doing his job they are getting payed to obstinately tell us they refuse to do theirs. how stupid does that make us, to keep paying and supportting those who refuse to do the least of their obligations and sworn to duties.
WE NEED TO STOP BEING THE ELECTORATE OF STUPID.
The IPAB will be stood up in 2014 by Obamacare and tasked with making cuts to Medicare provider payments (it may not touch benefits) if costs exceed economic growth plus an additional percentage point in any given year. Congress can override it by passing equally large cuts with a simple majority or waiving the cuts entirely with a three-fifths majority.“Because the law will give IPAB’s 15 unelected, unaccountable individuals the ability to deny seniors access to innovative care, we respectfully decline to recommend appointments,” Boehner and McConnell wrote in the letter.
and there it is folks the one speak too many, go back and read the above a couple of times and letit sink in, they don't want to have ins. co.'s pay any more then they cannot getaway with. so they tell you that your money will not be spent in the best interest of seniors who might need innovative care that that committee might approve, reverse physcology only works when you start off in a truthful subject..l nothing will ever change just like they said just the way they say it.
a rose by any other name smells as sweet and lies by anyother name are still untrue.
