>> Right now what you do best is repealing the ACA and playing the victim.

Repealing the ACA is the most important priority for the country today. Nothing else comes close.

Doug Elmendorf, head of Harry Reid's CBO, testified before Congress a couple months ago, stating that the deficits were "unsustainable." When questioned further he answered as directly as possible -- the deficit was unsustainable because of FOUR items:

Medicare
Social Security
Obamacare Subsidies, and
Interest on the debt.

You can understand this. You don't need any numbers. "Unsustainable" means it cannot continue. Period. And the items listed are the specific causes. Not the Department of Education. Not USDA. Not the military. And in fact, none of those items even MATTERS.

They are all liberal social programs that have failed and which we're borrowing money for TODAY to support. (Your Politifact article, notwithstanding -- you see, reporters don't understand accruals, either).

Until these four items are addressed, nothing else matters.

Now, we've got Reid and Obama who are unwilling to touch any of them and in fact, all they've done is to make matters worse by adding the Obamacare subsidies and an additional trillion in debt that should never have occurred. Wasted. We have to stop it.
