Were you asleep for the first two years he was in office? Democrats had all the power.

And when you finally do somehow reach the age of retirement, don't come banging on my door asking for a government handout. You should get zero, nada, zip for voting for this guy. You literally should have a condition attached to your ballot saying you get no federal assistance in any way by voting for him for the rest of your life.

The reconciliation package, which fixes issues House Democrats had with the bill, will be voted on next. The reconciliation bill avoids a Republican filibuster.

Yeah, let's all jump on Mitt, instead of being aghast at the true picture. That there ARE 47% of the people dependant on the government is the true disgrace. But way to play it off.

So what is the issue here?
We know that these people have written off any conservative point of view or candidate who wants to put them to work. They sound like Maynard G. Krebbs...WORK?!?!?!?
These are the people Jefferson warned us about.
They vote themselves a paycheck.
Sometimes the truth stings a bit.

Seriously?
Where were you at during the ENTIRE healthcare debate?
How do you think it got passed? It's called Reconciliation.
They used it on the healthcare bill to get it sent to the senate without a possible republican filibuster.
They were in power for two years. I know it might be hard to accept but it's true.

Oh, oh, the GOP's Southern Strategy, plus Idaho, are the top ten non-payers.
Mitt, you're attacking the very people you rely on to give you their votes, so you and your fellow GOP in Congress and the Supreme Court can gain power to pass laws/judge cases on behalf of corporations and your have-mores.

I am not being deceptive, friend.
It is called "common sense".
They had the numbers in the house and senate for 2 years to pass anything they wanted.
If they used "reconciliation" once they could have again no matter what the republicans thought or wanted.
The truth is they chose not to do so but they had the power.......period.
