Of course, you will. Most of us have your numberf.

By the way, didn't you get the memo that the individual mandate in ObamaCare is history, thanks to Trump? I did. And that definitely translates into less government in my life.

How is the employer mandate doing?

How about that great replacement?

Keep fishing or toss out another "what about..."

New product are becoming available, when the government has nothing to do with your doctor you just might be able to keep the one you want. Every aspect of the ACA was vial and disgusting, its great for those who hardly work.

There is no deception quite like self-deception.

I'm seeing more and more references to "whataboutism" lately throughout the social media and mass media...it's almost like the Mother Ship sent out a new trope for the minions to repeat over and over.

But it's not new. Over ten years ago our own hcap was chiding right-leaners here for playing the "but Clinton did it too" card.

Look, dude, I'm a conservative Republican with libertarian sympathies in favor of smaller government, too. But I see some practical value in partnering with centrist pragmatists if it means keeping Dems, socialists, and the new Democratic Socialists out of office where they always have and always will abuse their power.

"Whataboutit" is being used by some here as deflection when they have nothing to offer.

Whataboutit is a deflection tactic when someone doesn't want to discuss the topic at hand. They then throw around some stupid well, "what about when XXXX did it."

Its really effing annoying for me because 95% of the time I didn't agree with "whatabout" either but since people can only see things in a left/right spectrum. Throwing it out is meant to be some retort to avoid discussion on the issue at hand.

Finally, thats great what you feel. I didn't accuse you or attempt to typecast you at all... I would say I'm probably further right than you though.

Personally I don't think the government can involved in anything market related without ****ing it up. The recent farm subsidies are proof of that. However, take a look at the replies on this thread so far with people accusing me of being a liberal and look how they scamper when they go... "oh shit... he really does hate the government getting involved in the economy."

Looks like you and Tom agree on at least one thing.

I think you're doing your Elysian travelling in Max Boots. Not a good look.
