I don't mind paying my governments' employees a living wage but isn't there a line somewhere? Btw, I don't expect McDonalds to pay it. If I was looking for a job I wouldn't say, hey, I bet I can make a bundle at McDonalds lol.

And yes, when the gov't screws up I'll complain. Particularly the opposition

I think the concern over deadlines is a non-issue.....health care is health care. If people have gone years with no coverage a short delay in Obamacare will not make a big difference.

And if Red States had done as good a job as Kentucky instead of screwing over there own citizens we would be doing much better.

I see even you dropped the Mad Hatter after the shut down debacle lol

Wonder who the GOP grand strategist is? Attacks on Obamacare (call it the message) did not succeed. Now the attack has turned to the messenger, HealthCare.gov website.

The website will be fixed. We have way too much talent in this country. Google is an example. So the GOP should be looking at flaws in Obamacare and try passing amendments rather than ranting and raving at it's implementation. This is a lose lose strategy.

Except right now you don't get your tax liability jacked if you don't have it, or if you have the "wrong plan". That's the difference.

Define "living wage" and the cost of living is not the same everywhere. No I would not imagine that Mickey pays great wages, but if their employees qualify for food stamps that sucks. No idea what their food costs as we never eat there.

Consider that wages have gone backward over the last ten years, at least for the non 1%ers.
