AARP a "special interest group" according to Spicer..............

Eh..whatever Sean. They care about the SURVIVAL of seniors and that each and everyone who needs AFFORDABLE healthcare receives it. Your Paul Ryan health care plan will insure countless will DIE. Go ahead and call AARP special interest,it makes you look like a bigger FOOL than you are now.


"We would love to have every group on board," Spicer said at his Wednesday press briefing when asked about opposition from groups like AARP and the AMA. "This isn't about trying to figure out how many special interests in Washington we can get paid off. It's about making sure that patients get the best deal."

ACA repeal---TAX CUT for the wealthy

If this isn't BAD enough Rand Paul is pissed because there is still some Obama stuff left in. Hope you DIE tomorrow Rand.

But wait Rand,all your RICH buddies get a tax CUT when this passes. Feel better NOW??


"Higher-income Americans could pay fewer taxes, get more tax benefits. The legislation would eliminate two taxes that Obamacare levied on the wealthy to help pay for the law. Nearly everyone in the Top 1%, who earn more than $774,000 a year, would enjoy a hefty tax cut, averaging $33,000, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. Those in the Top 0.1% would get an average tax cut of about $197,000."

Kansas House overides veto of Gov Sam Brownback

Source: Wichita Eagle,Topeka Capital

The House struck back at Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday, voting to override his veto of a massive package of tax increases to fill the states budget shortfall. Brownback vetoed House Bill 2178 in a news conference Wednesday morning after announcing his veto plans Tuesday night.

A little more than an hour later, the House voted 85-40 to override, clearing the minimum threshold of 84 votes. The Senate must also vote to override the veto with a two-thirds majority before the bill can be forced into law.

Brownback slammed the tax bill as a “punitive” increase. He called on lawmakers to work with him to find a solution and said his budget proposal offers a structurally-balanced budget by 2019 – a contention some lawmakers reject. He also called for lawmakers to look for savings.

Trust me,those of us here in Brownbackistan have been watching this like a hawk. Now the Senate MUST do their job which I have doubts will happen. There are 40 Senators,32 Rep and 8 Dems.

Does that guy (prop) Trump had come up on stage.......

look like he can afford a health care premium of $800.00 or MORE per month when Trump dumps the ACA and replaces it with nothing? He got a nice hug out of Drumph and now he can get ready for his screwing.

Trump voters WANT a minimum wage increase. Seriously?!?!?!

Trump TOLD these people over and over and over that the current MW is TOO HIGH. He also told them he was going to toss Obama care in the trash can ASAP. NOW....his voters want BOTH. My gawd.................

"Lee County, where Beattyville is located, went overwhelmingly (81%) for Trump. Around town, there are frequent sightings of men wearing red "Trump" or "Make America Great Again" hats. Even in this red Kentucky enclave, many Trump voters here want to see the minimum wage raised."
