Obama cautions freshman House Democrats about the price tag of liberal policiesDuring a private meeting with newly elected Democrats, Obama told lawmakers to consider the costs of their proposals and be honest about them with voters. Yes, Medicare for all costs LESS than our private insurance system while covering 30M more people and helping better cover 40M under-insured. But the cost is too high. Or lets talk of his bailing out banks instead of paying off the mortgages, which still would have bailed out. Oh, so this is what the school field trip was for yesterday...hahaha. The idiot freshman democrats had to get schooled by the most corrupt President...EVER! 2020 is going to be sooooooooo entertaining watching the dems eat themselves alive! That's why you tax the rich in the proper way.
