6 pgs in repug "health" bill deals with Lotto winners getting gov. benefits

[Marthe48]

So they all use input from the Enquirer and other crap sources to shape their agenda. 6 pages of 60 about people who won the lottery still collecting medicaid and other benefits.

Really.

You got a 1 in 17 million chance of winning a lottery. You are 11 times more likely to be struck by lightning than hitting the lottery. Less than 500 people/yr are struck by lightning in the U.S. according to National Weather Service.

You are 45 times more likely to die from flesh-eating bacteria than hitting the lottery.

So glad repug brainiacs are defending us from the handful of nouveau riche deadbeats as they pull the rug out from millions of Americans covered by ACS.

Thank you Chris Hays for an enlightening show today.

3. LOLOL

Lightning strikes somewhere in the United States about 55,000 times a day. Because of its potent mix of heat and humidity, Florida gets approximately 3,500 lightning strikes a day. It's estimated that five to 10 people there are killed each year by lightning.

4. Republicans want to cut NOAA lightening warning system, so they better quit golfing. extreme climate

change WILL kill you without warning.

It’s a common sense scientific advancement, and one that meteorologists depend on—as they depend on other NOAA satellite data. Which is why it’s surprising that the program is the latest thing on President Trump’s budget chopping block.
