Why is Sen. Ted Cruz doing this filibuster anyway? The cloture vote isn’t today, so he’s not delaying that. He is educating the public (and his fellow senators) on the damage Obamacare is doing to the economy, but some of his colleagues don’t seem to get it. Or perhaps they do, and that’s why they’re all for ruining the economy.
Sen. Dick Durbin wasn’t moved by the story of Judy, whose loss of income qualified her for Medicaid. And isn’t that what the Democrats’ social safety net is there for? Everybody, into the safety net! It’s awesome!
#MakeDCListen Dick Durbin just said it's GOOD NEWS that judy's income is so low she qualifies for MediCaid…Really? That's good news? Idiot

Sen Dick Durbin: The good news for Judy is that her income is now low enough for her to qualify for Medicare. <- That's GOOD? #MakeDCListen

Dick Durbin is apparently PLEASED that a woman's income –for the first time in her life– qualifies for Medicaid. Why not a better JOB?

A better job? Do those still exist?
