Asking For ‘Obamacare Horror Stories’ Not Working Out That Well For Lying Assclown Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Washington) had a great idea to document just how horrible Obamacare has been for Americans: She went to her Facebook page, posted a chart that doesn’t merely lie about the ACA but also makes no logical sense (a bullet point list of lies would at least look sensible, but a line graph?), and invited readers to share their Obamacare horror stories:
'Whether it’s turned your tax filing into a nightmare, you’re facing skyrocketing premiums, or your employer has reduced your work hours, I want to hear about it.
Please share your story with me so that I can better understand the challenges you’re facing: http://mcmorris.house.gov/your-story/
And just like the time last year when Ted Cruz tried the same dumb stunt, people flooded the page with stories of how they’d finally gotten insurance after being denied due to pre-existing conditions, or how their previous private plans covered practically nothing, or how they were healthcare workers who were seeing a lot of new patients who otherwise might have gone to the ER for unaffordable care. Oops.

An example from the book was a statistic claiming that Navy sailors were in healthier condition than the civilian population. Of course they were. The larger number of them are under age 30 which skews the conclusion. People who cite statistics depend on your not looking at the data used to produce them.
You don't have to buy it. Here's a link to the book itself and illustrations. It's not a difficult read. I read it when I was 10 y/o. I had a lot of time in those days, I was expelled from school for most of the fifth grade.

Reaganomics Vs. Obamanomics: Facts And Figures
By every statistical measure the Reagan recovery outshines Obama's.
The 13 million jobs that were added in 65 months, does not account for the other 92 million still out of work. And, I seriously wonder which planet you came from.
With the money so far stripped from DoD and the Marines, as well as the other military services, you need to be happy you still have a job. But if you lose your job in Duluth, you can blame Bush, but the problem behind that is, Bush will have no effect on your job loss.
Continue to support people and causes that are against your own best interests. The people you support don't tip the wait staff.

Starting in 1984 AT&T started laying off nearly 200,000 people. tens of thousands with less than 30 years service received deferred pensions. This year they started receiving them. Despite requests to the Communications Workers of America to add pension enhancement to the pensions wouldn't even acknowledge phone calls and emails. The union that was formed by the 900,000 employees of the Bell System wasn't needed any more They've been replaced with federal, state and municipal workers.
The unions are as crooked as the corporations. ( Oh! They are corporations.) All they concern themselves with is their own salaries and benefits. The head of the AFL-CIO Richard Trumka writes a column for the Communist Workers newspaper. The unions are dying by slow suicide.

The outcome of the last two elections shows that the GOP will win no more national elections in this country. Why: You can’t gerrymander the whole country.
Here's your problem:
"The incoming Senate is comprised mostly of Republicans -- 54 to the Democrats' 44 (plus two independents, who hang out/vote with Democrats). But those Democrats actually received 20 million more cumulative votes than did the Republicans, as Vox pointed out (to much Internet traffic, no doubt) over the weekend. What gives?"

The GOP is toast.

Senate Democrats got 20 million more votes than Senate Republicans. Which means basically...
What's that saying about statistics and lies?
The next Democratic Party candidate could be polka-dotted. The GOP cannot win.

Let's not forget all that the unions once achieved for employees across America.
