re: #443 Cato the Elder

Funny how “we can’t afford it” only draws as an argument when it’s about something for nasty greedy poor people or folks whose BMI is too high.

When it’s about yet another fighter-bomber program essential to the welfare of Raytheon and General Dynamics and to the defense of our country - even though there is no credible antagonist against whom existing and already-planned fighter-bombers aren’t perfectly adequate - nothing’s too good for US, and affordability be damned.

Cato, I love you… but, it is NOT affordable. Rates will skyrocket like nothing you have ever seen. I am a live witness.
This will make the poor poorer, by fining those who cannot afford it. A hell of a lot more than 30 mil will be priced out of insurance and into fines with zero coverage. FACT. It will really hurt those you want to help even more.
