24 Billion Dollars - approx. I think the RNC should reimburse America from their campaign coffers. [View all]

Those in their party who STILL voted NO at the final hour, specifically and Eric Cantor who changed a House Rule to give himself personal authority over putting the government back to work, OWE the American people 24 Billion dollars.

Supposedly "for our own good" they staged this debacle, but in truth, they are trying to save their campaign contributors BIG Pharma and the like from losing money when ACA starts producing cost savings for the average consumer.

What do you think?
