    Utter nonsense. The government runs up about that much less debt. We're already soaking the rich.

    Can't you do better than "utter nonsense"? What about "poppycock" or "monkeyshines"?

    And if they're still rich, then we're not soaking them enough.

    Cruz plan could be key to unlocking healthcare votes

    The fate of ObamaCare repeal-and-replace could hinge on an amendment from Sen. Ted Cruz.

    The Texas senator is pushing for a provision that would allow insurers to sell plans that do not comply with ObamaCare insurance regulations, so long as they also sell plans that comply with those rules. Cruz says giving insurers a path around the regulations should allow them to offer some plans at a lower cost.

    It's unclear whether the amendment will be added to the Senate bill, or even whether it will pass muster under budgetary rules.

    But the amendment could be the key to ensuring that the legislation passes both the House and the Senate.

    So now FOUR Republican senators have come out against Trumpcare? (Not even counting McCain, who may take weeks to recover from serious surgery.)
    But... but... I don't understand! Denny's already said "Buh Bye" to Obamacare TWICE!

    Rachel Maddow and other msnbc host trying so hard to hold back laughter and joy at the apparent failure to repeal. Get ready for a deafening shuffling of papers by RM while half-grinning into the camera to show you that she knows whats up, that she was so right all this time...

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Curious move. They didn't do that first because they didn't have close to enough votes for "repeal and delay." Now, after their not-very-well-veiled attempt at gutting Obamacare fails, they go back to something that was even further from passage?

    It doesn't even make sense as a symbolic gesture for their base--if most of the Republican senators vote against it, how does that help them with their base?

    What a clucter fusk. The only thing dumber than the Democrats is the Republicans. Thirty million Americans have their healthcare in the hands of these morons.
