like 20 million is no big deal

...like 20 million is no big deal!

so lou dobbs, commentator for cnn of the lou dobbs show, said that the obama administration exaggerated its numbers listing how many americans have no health insurance, or are under insured.

the 46 million give or take a million or so that the current administration listed as those without insurance includes non citizens (code word for illegal aliens), people who supposedly think they will never get sick so they never signed up for insurance, people who had coverage but for some reason (perhaps lack of employment or no money to pay for it, DUH), were included in the 46 million plus chump change.

BUT if you take away those undesirables the number is ONLY 20 million.
ONLY 20 million, as if ONLY 20 million does not count. give me a break, ONLY 20 million!

i just love when people use the word ONLY to try and persuade us its okay.

like... its ONLY those gays and lesbians who want to be married, as if they really matter.

or... its ONLY auto workers, who do they think they are, they ONLY do manual labor why should they be given adequate wages, they are not bankers or wall street financiers.

and.. its ONLY a bunch of poor people who are complaining that the trickle down economics of regan/bush/clinton, never trickled down, but trickled up and up and up, ONLY they wouldn't know what to do with all that money anyway.

ONLY 20 million people!

why do people who use the term ONLY, seem to think they are exempt from being part of that ONLY group. maybe if they didn't have health insurance, or the money to purchase health insurance, or the promise that once they did use their health insurance the cost of using their health insurance would not go higher and higher. they might think differently

like what if this only happened to me!

ONLY 20 million people. no big deal, its ONLY 20 million.
