Taking down Obamacare one piece at a time

I noticed a story on Yahoo yesterday stating that many people didn't think the Healthcare bill went far enough.  I think we are going to be seeing stories like this from sections of the MSM giving people the idea that the bill was fine, it just needs to be tweaked.  And I'm quite sure they've gotten their marching orders from the White House.

It's also worth remembering that more then a few Democrats were pretty uncomfortable with Obamacare so a thumping this November is liable to have an educational effect even on those who who aren't/weren't up for re-election as well as those who survive  .

What's kind of interesting to me about the Obamacare fight, at least right this minute, is that it's hardly being spun as a done deal. There are some efforts to push the idea that as an entitlement it's always and forever but not to the extent I would've thought.

I was anticipating a real wave of assurances that having passed Obamacare there's no point in fighting it. But there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a push-back like that.

Oh yeah, high everyone.
First off, welcome to the forum Arpad, glad you could make it. :)

Ya know, you are right, the MSM has all but backed away.
I wonder if they all have been reading the tea leaves, and know, that any mention of it, only causes more problems for them.
Right now, and all the way through the midterm it will be a topic to avoid like a Vampire to Holy water, it can only burn you.

I heard a guy on TV say there will be a 3 percent sales tax on all home sales as a part of the Obamacare bill. Can anyone either confirm or deny?
If you believe big government is the solution then you are a liberal. If you believe big government is the problem then you are a conservative.

I've read that, as well.

They can spin it anyway they like, but in the end, we will all be paying the tax.

I wonder how this will affect home sales?  They are pretty crappy now.....this would make it worse. (If that is possible.) :P

Just keep telling yourself that the consequences of Obama's hair-brained schemes are all Bush's fault and then it will all be OK.
