re: Lacombe Lake Rd launch closed due to gov't shutdown

Obamacare will be expensive, no doubt. And it will add to the government debt, no doubt. But let's be real here...it's a small percentage in regards to the federal budget. The federal outlays in 2013 is budgeted at 3800 Billion Dollars. How much is Obamacare projected to cost per year? 100 billion a year.

The problem is wide spread and systemic that won't be solved with Obamacare. Again, I am all for a balanced budget approach. What I am arguing is that Republicans are framing the wrong argument. It should be "balance the budget" not "repeal Obamacare". To some it may be 'the same thing' but you have to consider public perception. The latter seems 'unsympathetic' whereas the former is sensible and logical.
