More recently, though, Krugman said that Romney's campaign makes Bush's appear like something out of a golden age of honesty, or words to that effect. So Krugman would agree with you.Andrew Sprunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601269968798865106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-41784227850435145852012-10-04T16:54:30.654-05:002012-10-04T16:54:30.654-05:00I'm actually most angry about the pre-existing...I'm actually most angry about the pre-existing conditions lie. Because millions of people will be w/o insurance if Romney wins and shoves through his true agenda - only people with continuous coverage get to keep coverage.<br /><br />Well, gee! That's swell!<br /><br />Hello, Mitt? You like to fire people. When we get fired, we can't afford COBRA. So when we later can afford a policy, none is available because of have flat feet, or a tonsillectomy at age 5. Or whatever flim-flam for-profit excuse.<br /><br />How he can stand there and bald-faced lie about that, then send out a top surrogate to 'correct' the record just minutes later just floors me.<br /><br />Good god, the man has no moral compass at all. And I am frankly deeply frightened. My partner was damn near denied cover last year, and I hang on to ever-spiraling premiums and cannot change plans. <br /><br />Its a nightmare. And Mitt blathers platitudes about the wondrous free market. It's soul-shaking how he'll sell us down the river.RaflWnoreply@blogger.com
