ObamaCare One Year Later: Still a Bigger Loser for Democrats

2 Comments

By Dave Andrusko When I was growing up, a common expressions in my neighborhood was “in for a dime, in for a dollar.” What it meant was that once you’re in, often in a losing proposition, you keep on going–even adding to what you’re doing–in the hope that in the end that Lady Luck will …
