The point I was making is that Indiana revenues have taken a bigger hit as a whole than some other states because of economic sluggishness in what were major industries in the state.
Right now we need someone who knows economics to get us out of this financial disaster. As I see it Mitch has the know how to do this!!!
We will be in the black in no time. Right after he sells the statue of lliberty, the national parks. Maybe we will get lucky and he'll sell California as well.
We need a good GOP candidate like he needs a good haircut. The comb-over shows a serious lack of good judgement.
...
It is not constitutional for the federal government to do this. There are many reasons it isn't I think we can all agree on that. ...
He'd never pull any votes up here after the toll road lease. Too many angry northerners felt we got robbed.The tallest candidate with the best hair usually wins. Mitch has trouble in both those areas.
The point is that no one pure enough for some people to support him has a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
This is what the Republicans are selling.
20%+ increase in socialized medicine.
Lower threshold to enter, 200% vs 138%
Taxes increased.
Whoops, not enough tax increase.
HIP is unsustainable receiving $2 fed dollars per $1 put in by state.
Waiting list of 50,000+ to be added to the rolls in the coming years.
Endgame, roughly 20% of Indiana on HIP.
Dog and Pony Obamacare opposition.
Accept Obamacare dollars.
As a Republican, are you asking conservative voters to buy that?
If Mitch decides to run for president he's going to have just as much trouble as Romney, when it comes to the healthcare debacle. He's managed to outdo Obamacare in some areas and is going right ahead with Obamacare implementation, for the most part. Cato makes a good point. He, like Romney, is going to look kind of ridiculous in a debate with Obama when the healthcare issue is brought up.

CATO suffers from the same problem a few of our membership do: namely, an inability to recognize that "a more perfect" government wasn't saying a perfect government.
