The Vent for Thursday

You keep lying to people and eventually the uninformed will believe anything you tell them.

Health insurance is not the same as healthcare.

Congress cannot solve our real problems because they attach pet projects to critical legislation.

How is $870 a month affordable insurance for a family that only makes $35M a year?

Forcing an insurance company to keep their end of the bargain after I pay my premiums is different than forcing a healthcare provider to provide free healthcare.

To save billions, do away with the census since the NSA has detailed records on all of us anyway.

The problem with money is, people who don't have it resent those who do.

Georgia can't afford expanding Medicaid to its poorest citizens and can't afford implementing the ACA, but they came up with money to build new football and baseball stadiums without much of a problem.

The problem is DFCS does use private contractors. If a child is removed from a dangerous home, they lose money.

Themed anything should be observed, especially by the host. I, too, was miserable when a pastoral official's wife hosted a "Southern Belle" themed luncheon and showed up in a pantsuit.

HOT lanes are what you get when you let corporations run the government.

So Russia is harassing environmental critics of the Winter Games? I'll be more than happy to not watch a minute of Vlad the Putin's Olympics.
