Consider that wages have gone backward over the last ten years, at least for the non 1%ers.
In our county, a while back, the sheriffs were unsuccessfully negotiating for a raise when someone realized that at the rate of pay they were receiving, they qualified for food stamps. The sheriffs came to sign up for food stamps all together and invited the press..... They got their raise.

BTW, what shut down debacle?
The one that cost the U.S. economy $24 billion and added $100 million to the deficit in higher interest costs. Never fear, Obama will make it up for you, the deficit has been in free fall under his stewardship.

Every Repub who is now an Independent?
Have you seen any of the polls or don't they report them over at Faux and Friends? Your Tea party is now less popular than 'roids and the Repubs are polling lower than any party has ever polled since Gallup started tracking.

Now back on topic:

Here come a collection of Dem Senators demanding a delay for enrollment deadlines. They're right, of course. With all the issues, it just makes sense.

Who cares? It's already been delayed six weeks and the wunderkind from the Silicon Valley says the site will be fixed in November.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, remember Medicare Part D's roll out, Mike? All this righty hyperventilating over the ACA stinks like week old mackerel, left in the sun.
