On Hardball tonight, Newt said, about AFA

[fadedrose]

that if a man makes $30,000 a year, he does well, gets credits, etc., but if he marries a woman who makes $30,000 a year, they will pay a fortune for their health care for the same coverage they both have single. He claims it's anti-marriage.

There's a little list on on the site that starts with the lowest income and goes to the highest, with number of dependents. I've seen it 5 times or so, but can't find it anymore. If anyone sees it or knows where it is, let me know. I am tired of looking and hate to use the site since I can't buy anything. My sons are interested though.

I would love to know if Newt knows what he's talking about....

Thanks.

1. I don't know, and like you I don't want to tie up the site unnecessarily.

I wonder, though, if two unmarried professionals seeking individual plans go better with two individual plans or with just one signing up for a party of two.

Hmmmm. If you declare household income rather than one-person's income, I hope it would be a wash for a household of two people.

2. You know why Newt looks like he does

Because he is full of shit.

I am done contradicting these fucking pukes, they just move on to the next lie.

My new tactic is to smirk and let them know I have absolutely zero time for them.

3. So Newt wants to expand the subsidies then?

I'm fine with that.

4. "Marriage penalties" pop up in all the strangest places...

This is very possibly true, as it's true in taxation and other programs, but it can be dealt with the way it's always dealt with-- by adjusting things.

It's no reason to trash the program.

5. That's what I think too

The government is ready to make changes if those buttholes would take it seriously. Hell they can make an amendment and call it the "Boehner Amendment," if the man had the brains his dog has....if he has a dog, that is.

6. But you know they won't-- fixing glitches isn't...

part of the program.

Nothing less than the utter destruction of everything Obama will do.

(The bastards!)
