And on the eighth day, Republicans in congress created a refundable tax credit so uninsured people without pre-existing conditions could buy private health insurance, but then they passed the FAIR TAX and got rid of the refundable tax credit.

That sounds a lot like what happens to budgets when the lottery gets involved. Fund education at $100 million/yr. Tell the public that the lotto will allot $100 million/yr to education. Get lotto bill passed, allot the $$ to education, then slash the education budget for the previously non lotto allotment.

Great John Oliver segment.
