points out, more people get a tax break from Obamacare than pay more taxes.

To review, we’re talking about 1.2 percent of the population paying penalties, compared to 5 percent receiving tax credits or subsidies.

And those who pay penalties could choose not to pay those penalties, simply by being insured. So there's that.

On the other hand, there is egregious, unnecessary pork that could be cut from the defense budget, but for the fact that it is the Republicans' sacred cow, mixed metaphors notwithstanding. We're spending $45 billion on Homeland Security? Really? Seems like that could be cut way back. Ending the wars is another moneysaver. Closing bases overseas that we're not really using or in need of is another.

But all Grover cares about is complaining that some folks will have access to affordable health insurance in another year. That's terrible, but God forbid we cut back at all on the mayhem we've wrought on the world.
