(116,464 posts)1. Is that an image of the evil Obama?
What can we do to stop him?
We could protest!
Here's an example of how dead chained CPI is, and why it should be.

Obama Signs Childrens Health Insurance Bill
<...>
In a major change, the bill allows states to cover certain legal immigrants namely, children under 21 and pregnant women as well as citizens.
Until now, legal immigrants have generally been barred from Medicaid and the State Childrens Health Insurance Program for five years after they enter the United States. States will now be able to cover those immigrants without the five-year delay.

Low-income state workers begin to gain access to Childrens Health Insurance Program
By Sarah Barr
At least six states have opened their Childrens Health Insurance Program to the kids of low-income state employees, an option that was prohibited until the passage of the 2010 health-care law.
This relatively small step has as its backdrop years of debate over the program, known as CHIP, including concerns that it encourages states and consumers to replace private insurance with taxpayer-subsidized coverage.
Now, as a result of the policy change, families of lower-income state workers who have struggled to pay for family coverage can qualify for the program. CHIP, which is jointly financed by the states and the federal government, provides coverage to the uninsured children of families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance.
The federal government had closed that option to most states when CHIP was established in 1997, because of concerns that it might be an easy way for financially strapped states to shift the costs of some public-employee health benefits to the federal government. Federal employees were allowed to enroll their children.

The fact that you do not (can not) understand chess, does not make it a "Gish Gallop" event.

Of course, I'd exchange the pawn for the win, but that's not a true "sacrifice."

That's all that needed to be said, but I'm sure the multidimensional brainfucking will continue.
