Eduardo Porter: Liar for the NY Times

This asshole was educated in the sciences, you think he would be careful about spewing falsehoods, least he get caught by someone with half a brain. Half a brain is all it takes, because once they begins defending Obamacare, they start with the same lie: Why the Health Care Law Scares the G.O.P.
Not long before we get this:

This spring, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce urged the state Legislature to accept the federal government’s plan to expand Medicaid for the poor and disabled. The business lobbying group had not suddenly gone rogue. Here is how Daniel P. Mehan, its president, summarized his feelings about President Obama’s health care law: “We don’t like it.” But the Chamber was cognizant of the plea of its members directly affected by the issue: dozens of Missouri hospitals stood to lose $4.2 billion over six years in federal support for uncompensated care if the state refused to increase the income ceiling for Medicaid eligibility. Pragmatism suggested accepting the expansion. Washington would pay the extra cost entirely for three years and pick up 90 percent of the bill thereafter.

If it comes from Washington, then it is free! How many times have California politicians made that mistake. But Eduardo knows a bit of physics, nothing is created or destroyed. Where did the free money come from? You know damn well where it comes from, young, healthy and wealthy young workers from Missouri. 

At least Kevin Drum had the integrity to answer the question, what is the marginal tax rate on Obamacare? 15%. Eduardo needs to be fired immediately and sent back to physics school.
