Steny Hoyer: "I didn't say the bill would pay for itself, I said it would be paid for."

Steny Hoyer meets his constituents to try to sell ObamaCare. This is an informative and entertaining read.

Almost all of these pols are tone-deaf weasels ....

Its amazing that normal people would wait on line to sit through hours of this crapola.
At least the SEIU folks are paid (and paid off to be there). Normal folks are gluttons for punishment (and many are simply pissed).


Steny Hoyer kills with these lines:

After he repeatedly assured everyone that this bill was fiscally responsible, another questioner asked somewhat incredulously how this bill would save money. Hoyer responded, "I didn't say the bill would pay for itself, I said it would be paid for." The angry crowd didn't like that bit of sophistry one bit.

And when another questioner asked how he could assure the bill's fiscal responsibility when Social Security and Medicare were bankrupt, Hoyer responded by saying, "Indeed, I don't know if they are going bankrupt . . ." and had to wait to continue because of the riotous laughter that ensued.
