Dear lord,Now Texas Rep.Hensarling is pissing in public

This makes the THIRD Republican comment the dallas Morning news published.

http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/latest-columns/20120628-u.s.-rep.-jeb-hensarling-we-cant-afford-it-and-americans-dont-want-obamacare.ece

Yesterday was a bad day for freedom. I respect the Supreme Court’s decision, but I vigorously disagree with its core ruling.

While the court was heard from Wednesday, the American people will be heard from in November.

President Barack Obama’s health care law remains something the nation cannot afford and the American people do not want. It threatens our economy and jeopardizes the future of patient-centered health care, and must be repealed before it’s too late.

As we continue to face one of the worst economies since the Great Depression, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts “Obamacare” will reduce the nation’s labor supply by 800,000 workers. Private economists predict an even larger nationwide loss of up to 2 million jobs. Furthermore, a recent Chamber of Commerce survey indicated that a whopping 74 percent of small businesses say the law makes it more difficult for them to hire new workers.

We cannot afford the law. The annual survey on employer-provided insurance by the Kaiser Family Foundation indicates that average family premiums have increased by roughly $2,200 since Obamacare’s passage.

Additionally, the law contains $813 billion of new taxes and weighs in at a total cost of almost $2 trillion. In other words, the so-called Affordable Care Act is not so affordable.

Perhaps most ominously, Obamacare — if left intact — will unalterably change the role of government in our society.

seemed determined to outdo W in nonsequitorial utterances of patriotic umbrage, "freedom" and "liberty" dripping from his vocabulary like loose pennies. Do these putzes really believe that such repetitions make them more American than everyone else? Yeeesh.

3. "Reduce the labor supply"? Really? By putting people to work, maybe?

Looks like he doesn't even know what day it is

'Head up the ass syndrome', probably.
