tom price is on the morning shows selling 'access'

when savanah guthrie said 'if someone's making 25,000 a year they have access to a BMW but they can't afford it'.

fucking price said 'that's a good Bernie Sanders line'.

FUCK THESE FUCKING FUCKS

or did she let him get away with that?

Why didn't she embarrass him with a equally smart assed comeback?

Something like - "I suppose you drive a $100,000 Mercedes - huh?

We all have access to pretty much everything that can be purchased. Being able to afford or to make those purchases is a complete different matter. The two simple do not equate.

I practically spit coffee on my monitor, thinking "WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING???"

Of COURSE Tom Price could only respond to a genuine point with a troll-ish .

With thanks to wonderful Senator Al Franken!

They don't even pretend to address reality, just throw up platitudes and lies. However, when people get hit with the price tags for the new plans, the Repugs will be the ones to suffer. Dems need to come out and put ads on the tv about Trumpcare! Make R's own this, show the good from ACA and how it's all being cut mainly so rich folks get out of some taxes.

At the end of the "interview" Savannah said "got it" He never did directly answer the question.

And then Al Roker said that he was going to give us "access" to our local weather report.

19. !!! I may have "access" to Nieman Marcus - but being able to walk in the shop vs actually

buying something are two very different things...

What I hate the most about Price and his ilk is their BLATANTLY condescending attitude towards the poor and those they think unworthy of care. I have seen this asshole smirk his way through so many interviews as he doesn't care that millions will lose healthcare. They aren't human beings to him -- just ideology and numbers.

They think the majority of these people are too stupid to understanding word play, that "access" is not equal to "care," and they think that lying to the people in this manner will carry them through..."we are increasing ACCESS to care! You can wander half-dead from a heart attack into an emergency room you know!"
