  He is right. The point he's making is that, once people get "hooked" on government handouts it's almost impossible to take those handouts away, no matter how much sense it makes to do so. Politicians are hooked on "pork barrel" projects, another classic example of taking money/benefits as long as it's free to them while someone else pays the bill.

  Exactly. As I said. People don't usually get "hooked" on something that doesn't taste/feel good. In this case affordable health care. My gosh what a bunch of losers, those working poor wanting to live and all.

  The Pork Barrel argument is just plain silly. It's nothing more than campaign rhetoric.

  As to what the electorate voted for: The current makeup of the House of Representatives also represents the electorate, just at the local level rather than the entire country. There is considerable opposition to the ACA in various parts of the country.

  I agree with tootired, just let the dems own it. If its the mess the Republicans think its going to be, the Democrats can clean it up.

  As for the House, Democrats actually recieved more votes, but through gerrymandered districts the GOP took seats.

  People seem to prefer the Affordable Care Act over Obamacare, imagine that. If they are questioned on the individual components, they have an even higher approval. There has been so much disinformation spewed by the Republicans and their various talking heads, people have no idea what to think, other than to be afraid.

  If the Republicans really thought it was going to be so bad, they wouldn't be trying to stop it. Even Ted Cruz called it "sugar" and pointed out that if they don't stop it now (before it goes into effect), they won't have another chance because people will like it.

  It wouldn't be Obamas job, it would be the Speaker of the House John Boehner.

  But the republican party don't respect the electorate - they want to enforce their outdated minority views on others. This is why they are becoming less and less electable - they gave in to the quick-and-easy votes by selling their soul to the Tea Party, just as they did with the religious right before that.

  They like to boast about how wonderful the peaceful transference of power is, and yet they refuse to accept it. They claim to love America, and yet they seem to hate everything that America stands for.

  .....states that there is 95% certainty climate change is man made.

  people are still saying we don't need to do anything about it.. if you were told there is a 95% risk of you dying if you don't change your diet, wouldn't you change your diet?.

  So, what's your point?

  Mine is unchanged. The EPA has been forced to admit that they were talking through their ass about methane emissions.

  Huffington Post has an article on the same EPA retreat.

  PS This has been a broadly released news item. Several sources have covered it. But you ask me for a link?

  Maybe less time playing Grand Theft Auto and more time reading the net and newspapers, big mouth.

  Hey, just because you have comprehension issues is no reason for insults.
