Steny Hoyer wants more money to fix Obamacare exchanges

Rep. Steny Hoyer wants to give President Obama more money to help fix the costly federal health care exchanges that have been roiled by problems since they launched at the beginning of the month.  Asked Tuesday how Congress could help improve the system by which millions of Americans must buy insurance by the end of the year, the House minority whip and Maryland Democrat said, "We can give them a little money."

Salon's Joan Walsh shouts at liberal pundits who note that Obamacare's implementation is not going very well:  On the one hand, yes, it’s important for Democrats to acknowledge when government screws up, and to fix it.  On the other hand, when liberals rush conscientiously to do that, they only encourage the completely unbalanced and unhinged coverage of whatever the problem may be.

Those libertarian boys are nothing but TROUBLE! Then comes Tom Watson, who warns liberals worried about government spying on them not to talk to the boys on the other side of the tracks -- that is, the libertarians:….To Read More….
