i think she’s gonna need to get a job
i just don’t see any way around it given how fast they racked up 60K of credit card debt
“Obamacare has destroyed my country
family”‘..we just took for granted we could get gas to put in the car, go to the store and buy what we needed..’ paraphrasing from about the 33 minute mark (whew!).
Well, that’s exactly what Mr. Obama resents: that Americans are so well-off, and take for-granted our abundance and lifestyles, while most of the rest of the world can’t do nearly as well. Recall that Mr. Obama, not-born in Kenya, but was raised in Indonesia during a formative phase of a his life (aged 6-10). His lifelong work is that of equating people; not by raising standards and providing paths to achievement, but by lowering bars and taking from those who have, redistributing to those who have not. ObamaCare is just another Marxist organizer’s tool that’s primarily redistributive, because Jakarta still has beggars, dammit.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,”
— Barak Obama

So who is going to take the kids to their doctor’s appointments, the once-a-week-at-the-hospital routine? Because of their medical issues, she home schools them.
She had coverage she liked. Obama did NOT let her keep it.
they need more income cause what they are doing is not sustainable
the husband seems to be well-employed
the kids are working too
so the only moveable piece would be for her to get a job
you have any better ideas?
There’s the solution!
Work harder Boxer, work harder.
Work harder, because kids in Jakarta are BEGGINGINGNGGNGNGNGN~!
>so the only moveable piece would be for her to get a job<
who does her job? who pays and at what price?
that’s not my problem Mr. newrouter
she says they hardly have any credit left
and the house is mortgaged to the hilt
when those dominos start falling is NOT the time for her to look for a job
that time was like a year or two ago
It was before Obamacare, I think is the point everybody else in this thread is making, that hamster boy is missing.
yes but even if we repeal obamacare tomorrow that family needs more income
they’re not saving *anything* for retirement
oh god think about what that means
Boxer knows
Everybody needs more income, simpleton.
Or less outgo.
I mean, sometimes maybe gramma oughta just get a pain pill, y’know?
that’s not even true
mo money mo prollums
but not if you have 60K of credit card debt and zero equity in your home
then you need mo money
even if it means getting a job
but it has nothing to do with being a horse
Would you say that Obamacare has been a bane or a boon to them, hf?
i would say it’s been very baneful indeed
but you can just sit and marinate in the baneful you have to DO something
*can’t* just sit i mean
Okay, very good. Obamacare has been very baneful indeed to these people.
yes yes but being a single-income household has also been very baneful to these people and given the parlous trajectory of their finances it will just just get more and more banefuller
and these are relatively good economic times in a country what’s declining as fast as this one
justthey’re not saving *anything* for retirement
Doesn’t matter. When the dollar collapses, none of us will have anything for retirement.
you can put your savings into foreign investments or any number of places where they’ll be backed by something more substantial than the failmerican government
Shorter happyfeet: “Better for the kids to die and decrease the surplus population.”
The fact of the matter is O-Care is not about health care. It is about control. It is about the Government casting its covetous eyes on the money Americans spend on Health Care and wanting some of it to use to buy votes. If that means access is diminished because premiums and out-of-pocket maximums are increased significantly, so be it. If that means innovation is strangled in the crib because of taxes and an unwillingness of regulators to pay for new experimental treatments, so be it. The system we knew is destroyed. More and more people, starting with the old, the very young and the chronically infirm, will die sooner. Periodically, we will get hand-wringing from politicians and perhaps a few resignations. But nothing will change.
This woman and her family are just eggs in an omelet.
If a few Souls have to be trampled into the asphalt on the Road To Utopia, well, so be it. The needs of the many far, far outweigh the needs of the one, or the few.
Leftism = Misery and Death. It’s what it is; it’s what it does.
If anyone knows that becoming a multibillionaire wouldn’t change me, it’s God. Why He doesn’t make it happen is just plain pure cussedness.
Shorter happyfeet: “i think she’s gonna need to get a job”
HF, as Darlene pointed out above, you know bubkus about hidden costs. You cannot change the facts. Before O-Care, the family was doing fine. After, not so much. Your throwaway “get a job, you bum” is the sort of thing conservatives have been accused of for years. Where’s the compassion, so obviously lacking in the rest of us neanderthals?
And BTW, I am one of those whose healthcare was destroyed by O-Care. I had one of those “shitty coverage” private insurance policies which a) I could afford and b) paid for my medical treatments. I’d had it for 20 years. With O-Care, its gone. And BTW, I have a fucking job, you fucking moron. And so does my wife. But my annual out of pockets have tripled. I spend more on my medical treatments than I spend on my house, cars, and food.
Take your sanctimony someplace else.
It’s almost as if the hamster thinks hard-working people who just manage to make ends meet — until they get run over by the Obamacare bus — are getting away with something.
The needs of the many far, as determined by the few (or the one )who represent the authentic revolutionary spirit and general will of the many far outweigh the needs of the one, or the few, or the many.
Those pesky truth in advertising laws, y’know?
Yeah, Ernst, I keep forgetting.
