Watching Jan Brewer on Greta and Fox

She has to be the most challenged governor in America. I am speechless. She was Greta's guest who was to talk about why AZ will not be setting up State exchanges under the affordable care act. She kept saying that the state was not going to waste 40k on setting up the exchanges. Greta tried repeatedly to correct her and say 40 million, but Brewer repeated the 40k.......but then somebody whispered something in her ear.....and she corrected herself. I simply cannot believe the folks in AZ have allowed somebody of her caliber to be their governor......very discouraging that intelligence is not valued, and that she actually is making decisions which are impacting people's lives.

I thought it was written in Obamacare the states will get the money from Obamacare to set up the exchanges?

It is but who knows if it would enough money to set the exchange up. The medicaid expansion also will at least be paid for a year or two and gradually be reduced and the states taking it over at some point. True the money is supposedly not in state coffers down the road, but there is so many avenues for states to make tax money to fund.

I could be wrong but I THINK the federal government will pay 90% of Medicaid funds for three years. As far as the ACA is concerned I do not know. . . . . .

Of course, Rick Scott opted out so as not to fall into bad favor with the tea party but we know he is so history come election time!

So you've never made a mistake speaking? Ever? Riiiiiight. NO, the dumbest politicians out there seem to be Democrats like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi...oh and then there is the Dem representative who thinks Guam will tip over if too many people are on it.

Is Obama going to print that money? From where? The Feds sure don't have it laying around in some vault.

Jan Brewer is the sorriest excuse of a Governor . . . . . sorry but I would be almost as embarrassed to say I lived there . . . . . unless I lived in TX of course.

Like then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, we need to pass ObamaCare so you can learn what is in it....

We desperately need to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.

Interesting thread.

NOW the Progressives are admitting they do not have a clue as to how any of the massive boondoggle called ObamaCare will be funded.

Their cry: TAX THOSE HORRID RICH THAT MUCH MORE!

Three years...wow.

IF that's true, where does the money come after those first three years?
