I want you guys to just take a wild guess who is paying for this....

I read the article. There’s a ton of stuff on those planes that can’t be listed in an inventory for national security reasons. So yes a refrigeration system cost $24 million. Get it?
No, I don't. The fact there are things on the plan that can't be listed in inventory for national security reasons tells me nothing. It doesn't explain why two upgrades are necessary that cost me as a tax payer this much. It's a refrigerator.

Mechanical Engineering way above any level of education you have!

Shielding for emp’s, electronic counter measure type stuff that AF1 carries. They can’t just that stuff on an inventory. When they upgrade the plane for new technology it ain’t cheap. Gotta keep POTUS & staff safe.
 
If it makes you feel better the $250 you pay a year in federal income tax are being used to buy toilet paper for the White House.

I must’ve missed the outrage at ObamaCare
I wasn't outraged. To me it wasn't perfect but it is light years better than what we have been doing. It is an investment of the American people. I have absolutely no problem spending my money investing in the American peoples health. Sick kids etc. Not a fkn refrigerator.

Except for the state already provides those benefits for those who can’t afford it. So we were duplicating those benefits and then taxing those who couldn’t afford the tax. Makes a whole lot of sense. In TN we have TNCare. TBI has a large division dedicated to fighting fraud and it works pretty good. No point in having the federal give control what’s already working at the state level. They did it so they could get more tax money and spend it.

That isn't the Affordable Care Act. Your state doesn't represent every state dude. Some states don't. Some states literally throw your ass out in the street. Some insurance companies cancelled your insurance even though you paid the premiums just because they didn't want to pay the bill. You have to get outside of your bubble sometimes and take a look at what is going on everywhere. Not just there.

Then provide care for the state who don’t. It would’ve been a whole lot better than forcing everyone into federalize healthcare system which is horribly mismanaged and a giant money pit.

Or why don’t these people get jobs and insurance? Or would that mess up the hustle of losing extra free cash if you work?

I’m not talking about the fraud cases. I’m referencing those who are disabled and have no means of income or are unemployed and not outside the unemployment benefits deadline.

It would be painfully naïve to think we didn't need to do something with healthcare. Premiums were getting out of control forcing people not to get coverage....in turn making everyone else pay for it. The system was extremely broken. There is no doubt about that. So I don't know exactly what you are getting at. Everything was not fine.

My deductible went from $600 a year to $2600. Now tell me how that’s fixing “the problem”?

Where did you see me say we fixed the problem. Your deductible was going to go up more without the affordable care act based on the annual increases in health care deductibles.

I had a $10 co-pay when my son was born in 2009. By 2010 I had a $300 deductible. By 2012 I had a $600 deductible. 2016 I had a $2600 deductible. What’s the one common factor here?

I'm not sure you understood what I was saying. Your payments were going up either way and that had nothing to do with Obama except they didn't go up nearly as much as they would have if he did nothing.

From 1997 to 2010 I had the exact same health care and nothing changed. Why didn’t it change before that?

When it comes to my tax dollars...there is no reason that exist to pay 24 Million dollars for a refrigerator that goes into an airplane. If Trump wants to do that with his own money then fine. If Bush or Obama want to do that with their own money I don't give a crap. Not my tax payer dollars. That's pretty stupid to me.

The problem is Obummer did not have $24 million of his own dollars after his first year in office.

Now, it is a different story.

Hmmmm...

How did that happen?

His book sales. How do I know? Because I saw his tax returns. See what I did there?
