Obamacare a Catastrophe Like No Other

Sorry Democrats, Obamacare is still electoral kryptonite

It is quite possible that the ACA is shaping up as

the greatest act of fiscal irresponsibility ever committed

by federal legislators.

Obamacare “unambiguously adds to federal deficits

Democrats get desperate ahead of November elections

If the party thinks it can win in November

based on the minimum wage, it should think again.
