And the Obama administration engages in a “Sorry, we really meant …” backpeddling:
The U.S. government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare’s impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage to only half as many of America’s uninsured as anticipated last year. […]
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services now expects 11 million uninsured Americans to obtain coverage next year, down from about 22 million projected a year ago, according to the report, which appeared in the journal Health Affairs. It said healthcare spending would rise 6.1 percent in 2014, partly due to the implementation of Obamacare, compared with a previous projection of an increase of 7.4 percent.

typical third world banana republic bullshit
you have your boondoggles
your state-controlled media
and a generalized milieu of incompetence what permeates all of your institutions
my goodness what a pitiful and altogether unexceptional piece of shit little country
Mr. Putin really has your number
First!
As seen in today’s Denver Post, Letters to the Editor:
“Banana republic” is an American coinage — by O. Henry, a century ago, for a series of stories set in the fictional tropical polity of Anchuria. But a banana republic doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a sensibility, and it’s difficult to mark the precise point at which a free society decays into something less respectable. Pace Obama, ever swelling debt, contracts for cronies, a self-enriching bureaucracy, a shrinking middle class preyed on by corrupt tax collectors, and thuggish threats against anyone who disagrees with you put you pretty far down the banana-strewn path.

we are all anchurians

“We’re not some banana republic.” — Barack Obama
“I am not a crook.” — Richard Nixon
Seeing a pattern, here…
The Anchurian Candidate?
They have an anchur for everything.
And rest assured this is not some Bolshevik plot.
[…] protein wisdom highlights that Obamacare is designed to fail […]
It’s difficult to say “DisasterCare! Failing right on schedule!”, if only because it’s difficult to believe the “plan” has a schedule! Evidence? Well hell, it’s constantly amended by executive fiat on the fly.
