Fools and our money

Over the past two weeks, the republicans led a government shutdown that cost the American economy $24 billion dollars.

A recent poll showed that two-thirds of republicans and 93% of Tea Partiers believe the federal deficit is growing.  It's projected to fall this year from $1.1 trillion to $624 billion.

On a recent Sean Hannity show, several everyday Americans who just happened to be Obamacare haters related the evils of Obamacare and how horribly it was affecting their lives.  A smart reporter went back and talked to each of them and found that of the three people/couples on the show, two would save better than sixty percent of what they were currently paying under Obamacare, but hadn't even fucking bothered to check out healthcare.gov.  Sixty percent savings--man, that Obamacare is just awful, isn't it?

From the republican leadership on down to its rank and file, these people know about as much about economics as an amoeba knows about string theory.  That anyone take them seriously when it comes to anything that has to do with the economic well-being of Americans is utterly fucking ridiculous.
