Four lost elections in a row and a trillion in start up costs

Bloomberg in 2010:
“We passed a health care bill that does absolutely nothing to fix the big health care problems in this country. It is just a disgrace,” said Bloomberg at the Dartmouth Presidential Lecture in 2010. “The President, in all fairness, started out by pointing out what the big problems were, but then turned it over to Congress, which didn’t pay any attention to any of those big problems and just created another program that’s going to cost a lot of money.”
“It’s really sad because they say they’ve insured or provided coverage for another 45 million people,” Bloomberg added in the speech. “Except there’s no doctors for 45 million more people and unless they fix immigration and let people who come here for medical education stay here, those people are just going to do the same thing. They’re going to have to go to the emergency rooms where they’ve been except that now it’s going to cost a lot more money.”
Now Bernie's, desperate for one last go at the Godot thing wants to write off the Trillion and stick the kids with the more expensive bill.

Bloomberg was correct, and Krugman and company can take the hit for fraud. Bloomberg seems more correct than any of the Dem economists I have seen. The whole ten year episode with fraud, pure and simple. We ended up with a modest expansion of medicaid.

It is time to start writing off some of these bonehead losses inflicted by dumbshits from both parties.
