Anyone else find it strange that red states, those that claim to be fighting for personal responsibility and self reliance, are primarily the states that are passing off the creation of their exchanges to the federal government? This is particularly strange when you couple that with the fact that red states are already a net tax burden on the federal government as it is, as they receive more money in federal spending than they actually pay in federal taxes.
They were already on the government teet as net benefit receivers before the ACA was passed, and now, they are passing off even more of their burden to the federal government. And all the while they are the ones who whine the loudest!
This seems reminiscent of all the videos our die-hard conservatives post that typically show dark skinned people complaining about their federal benefits. The irony here is thick.
