The whole thing is, frankly, bloody stupid.


Like it or not, the ACA was signed into law and deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court. Stripping over 800,000 people of their jobs because you don't agree with it is dirty politics at best...and I'd hardly give the least-productive Congress in history the benefit of the doubt.

The worst part about it? Due to blatant, unchecked gerrymandering practices, those responsible for this debacle will likely continue to be re-elected despite their obvious employment of brinkmanship tactics to get what they want. So with the next big political posturing circlejerk just over two weeks away (not that it should even be an enormous affair in the first place, but I digress) I'm extremely concerned about what will happen next.



Almost makes me regret leaving Canada for this mess. Maybe Californians will come to their senses and vote to secede from the US before it's too late.
