How about we set up a private company, The Super Awesome Health Care Company, Inc. You don't pay any taxes for single payer, but now you send all your health insurance premiums to TSAHCC, Inc.

Then the government taxes the insurance company 100% of all their income, provides single payer care for less money than people pay now, and then sends you 12% of your health care premium back as a rebate on TSAHCC, Inc's overcharges.

I'm not going to raise your taxes. I'm going to send you free money while battling the corrupt overcharging practices of Big Insurance. You happy now?

And then, we send an extra 18% of the health care premiums paid back to everyone with a brain so the majority of the people actually get 30% back, while the money not needed for health care and not returned to the brainless ("You just weren't overcharged as much as those people over there!") is used to build a Gargantuan Space Ark which we will tell the brainless is going to send them to a glorious new planet, unaffected by such tragedies as global warming, war, differing opinions or taxes where mosquitos are extinct because everyone is free to use as much DDT as they want and bald eagles perch in every tree. They will be eager to climb aboard the GSA if we just tell them they were specially chosen for the privilege of being the first of the first to reach the new paradise.

Whoooooosh! There goes the GSA...

...and, scene.

The GOP used to stink of desperation. Now it's a godsdamned reek.

Chairman Schiff starts with a story, and then presses the witness to agree with it.Hey Byron, you meathead, have you ever actually seen testimony taken in a deposition or a trial? This is how cross examination works. If Schiff's account is inaccurate, the witness can say why. What you don't do is ask the witness, "What are the self-serving talking points that you'd prefer to get into the record?"

Maybe he won't even be president (or alive) by then. Would they still have to go to his hotel?

I remember reading a thing from the Japanese journalists in early 2017, they said "we can't translate this (trump babble), it makes us sound stupid".

Again with Byron York whose brother is Dick I think or maybe he's the Dick and Dick is the Byron, I gets confuzzed.Republican whining isn't even genuine ffs. They are fake whiners and real hypocrites and not actual lawmakers. Think about the most untransparent hearings of all and who ran them and how they went. Issa (R asshole/thief) investigated for fun and said he would and proved nothing, many swings-all misses but knocked directly out of Congress for failure to launch.Gowdy, Trey (R bad hair) Ben Ghazzi to the max and beyond also batting .000. Fuckface never even hit a foul ball and then got canned a few times for being a loser.Devin Moo-nes (R cow love) couldn't quite get 'er done either in his quest for conspiratorial kompromat but did expose himself to the world, yechh, as a cow loving, law suit starting, methane farting dope that doesn't do dairy. Hanging on by his hooves currently to his J-O-B.

Enough reiteration, it almost just can't be said enough the hugeness of the Republican hypocrisy. I haaaate hypocrisy!
