For once, you actually understood my point.  However I was not editorializing about the pro or con of the Tricare cuts, only that Howey was in red alert mode over much more minor issues during the Bush administration.  The key of course, is that it was the Bush administration.   That was the real issue to him.   Who was offering the cuts, not what the cuts were.

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the comparison  to the debt ceiling.  Maybe you should break it down for me.

Just so we're clear than, you and Howey are anti reform.  You like Citizen's Property as it is?

That's hilarious!

I'll have to comment on that blog!

Merely the hypocrisy of your reaction to the news of cutting benefits for active military and retirees.  I was particularly curious given your status as a retiree.   Oh the outrage about tricare when their was a Bush in the White House!


What was my editorial position then?


I wonder if we are thinking the same thing by the statement, “painted himself in a corner?”  How exactly have I painted myself  in a corner in this thread?

And what other threads have I painted myself “in a corner?”  I may have missed some responses!

Wow...

You should really think about that.

We're actually quoting comments?  Can Twitter be far behind?

Actually no!

Ahhh, leftist hatred!

I wasn't editorializing on them.  I was just making a point to Howey.

Well I remember your reaction to that, so I was curious as to your reaction now that Obama's doing it.

care to respond?

About Allstate?  I didn't realize it was a question.  OK what is the background on Allstate and Citizens?




I would love for Citizens Property to go back to being what it was intended, however Charlie Crist opened it up to everyone with a vote, and now it's an unsustainable mess. 

Really?  When I used to listen to Phillips, he was in favor of a state income tax.  Admittedly that was many years ago.

Now as to your comment about Citizen's Property.   

Really?  I don't see how.  It's a non profit corporation established by the state government, so I'm not sure what the rant about free market capitalism is all about then.  This has nothing to do with either.  But in any case I get that you seem opposed to any reform of Citizen's Property.  Everything is just fine then?

The stimulus, Obamacare, and Dodd Frank were all bad policy.  Republicans should have voted for them anyway?

end of conversation then!

Citizens Property is a state sponsored insurance company that is backed up by the taxpayers.  This isn't about Allstate trying to increase their bottom line, this is about a state sponsored entity being undercapitalized for the obligations it's taken on.  One good hurricane season and Florida's fiscal situation becomes similar to California's. 

For liberals, on the plus side having Citizen's collapse due to claims is a good way to finally get that state income tax you've been dreaming of.

Well clearly I'm an extremely poor writer if you can't find clear positions instead of some sort of hedging, in the political things I've written.  I guess I would like to know what exactly you consider hate towards Obama that I've written?
