They (Obama apologists) frankly don't give a damn. As long as they are getting free chit, they could care if you could stack em to the moon.

I would read it but I have to go pick up my EBT card. I'm leaving as soon as I figure out how to use the GPS on my new Iphone. The one in my new Caddy isn't working.

How does the guy know what that pile of paper is: Did he read it?

7 feet high! It must be bad. I mean, if it can not be condensed into simple sound bites about "common sense" and "pro growth" it must be terrible. 6 1/2 feet would be bad but survivable, but once it crossed into 7 feet, well that's just tyranny.

Just ask Obama for a new one. I'm picking a new one up this afternoon. Didn't like the radio on the one I got last month.

so instead of a response that may defend the policies of Obama and jobs, you have to attack the catch phrase title as if that is new to writing itself....

The article includes a photo of the stack in a ribbon and leads off the story talking about how big the stack is and its measurements. Maybe you should reprimand the author for focusing on the trivial too.

I'm sorry. I read the article. It was very enlightening especially the discussion about unknown requirements of the bill. Insightful to say the least.

Furthermore, it's full of falsehoods like this:

Quote:

The warnings started as soon as Obamacare was born. Douglas Elmendorf, Director of the Congressional Budget Office, said in February of 2011 that Obamacare could cost 800,000 jobs.

falsehoods? Obamacare is not even out in full swing and there is already a list of companies that will have to either cut jobs, lower people from full time to part time, or put the extra cost on the consumers. Are the companies themselves full of it too?

The claim about costing 800,000 jobs is something that some conservatives starting saying right after the CBO report in 2011. It was false then and false now.

And your argument is "But we have a photo of big stack of paper that Breitbart says ...?"

wgbgator · 03-12-2013, 03:54 PM

How do you respond to hysterical fear mongering about a law that mostly hasnt gone into effect yet?

HALLGATOR · 03-12-2013, 04:03 PM

I just checked a couple of books I have for thickness of the pages. One had thinner sheets and approximately 2000 pages. The height of those pages was one inch. Then I check a hardcover novel by Stephen King which is printed on heavy paper pages. This one had 800 pages which measured 2 inches or 400 sheets per inch.

Using the reported amount of pages from the link which is 20,000, here is the height of the stack when done with thinner pages and heavy pages.

Thin 20,000 divided by 2,000 per inch comes out to a stack 10 inches high

Thick 20,000 divided by 400 per inch comes out to a stack 50 inches high or 4' 8".

In order to get a stack 7' high the paper would have to be really thick.

Of course that is still a bunch of pages to try to work through.

Those don't count. The companies were willing to cut their throats just to make a point, because Obama was being a meanie.
