Isn't it fun to watch posters like CBJ7 get adamant about their stupidity? He makes an incredibly stupid statement, gets called on it, has his ass handed to him on a platter, and then insists he said something different. Then he counters with a new statement, defends it like it was what he originally posted, and insists that those of us who are laughing at him are stupid!
Sorry, CBJ7. We know that trick. It isn't working. You'll have to do better if you want to prove you're not a moron. But let's be honest. That's not going to happen.

Now go back and re-read #55, it's NOT difficult to understand if you read slowly and try to grasp... one... word... at... a... time...

QUOTE=lustylad;1055306682]This is unbelievable! The POTUS doesn't even comprehend basic math! If a cost falls by 100% it drops to zero! You cannot lower a cost by more than 100%! A fifth grader knows that! If you pay $1,000 a month and your premium falls by 90% - you now pay $100 a month. If your premium falls by 100% - you now pay $0 and your healthcare is free.
yeah an idiot says two completely things trying to answer a question that's apparently waaaaay over his head, and I had my ass handed to me..
ass is easy for you ... you don't know yours from a hole in the ground.
that's my final word on this subject
