Official White House Tweet About ACA With Alt Facts/Math




"FACT: when #Obamacare was signed, CBO estimated that 23M would be covered in 2017. They were off by 100%. Only 10.3M people are covered."

If you can see Twitter most of the replies to this are worth a read.

of course neither are English and History.

:sigh: I dearly miss Obama (and Hillary) and having logical, rational, intelligent and well educated people working for us in our government but especially in our White House.

As blundering and disastrous as Bush was he at least had enough grey matter between his ears to surround himself with people at least a little bit smarter than him for the most part. (Except for Brown )

OTOH Trump's ego won't allow that so he goes after those he sees as stupider than him or those that will kiss his backside and stroke his ego so he looks and feels better. Unfortunately that's such a very low bar that, with the GOP's 'blessing', we ended up with idiots like DeVos, Perry, etc running things that they have ZERO any real understanding of.

How is this setting a good example for our children? How does this earn respect for our government from her and others? We should have the brightest, the most knowledgeable and the most capable people working for us not... this.
