Hello Mark,
                   Good to see your still at it.  And a very good job your doing.
 
    I have to say, Your mention of the Paul Ryan budget in reflecting the Affordable Care Act is something I hadn’t even thought of.  You make sense on that point.
 
  The thing about Ryan’s (the conservative plan) is that the Government they want to make small is going to tax Americans for the purpose of divying out checks to everyone from that taxed money. 
Why have the Government as the middle man?  But The Government needs to be that middle man to hand money over to Ryan’s top 1 percent.
 
Your point of why not apply the Ryan’s savings go to tax cuts to continue the failed Horse and sparrow trickle down economics.
 
I have to say, Scalia’s argument of Broccoli was obsurd.
 
If I do not buy Broccoli or if I buy Broccoli, the price of the broccoli you purchase does not go up or down. 
People can go through life without eating broccoli but every single human will need medical care during their life.
 
–On Royce’s argument over Bush V Gore,  Tell me Justice Renquit wasn’t placed on that court just for that reason.  Renquist was the one who said, “send me those cases”.
 
The SCOTUS has refused to hear many cases.  Even many more for not having “Standing” 
Where is the Republican “standing” for the SCITUS to hear and rule on Affoedable Care Act?
 
Good show and It was nice to hear your guest Royce concerned with Citizens United..
 
Been a while since I put my 2 cents in.
