CHOICES: How to define 'slackers'

I can’t help but notice a truly refreshing take on personal responsibility coming from liberals these days. For the first time people who support Obama are singing the praises of forcing people to be accountable for their own bad choices. We can justify penalizing people who cannot afford insurance because, we as a society, are just sick and tired of the intelligent and insured having to pay higher rates for uninsured slackers showing up in emergency rooms. OK, gotcha.

So now America is through paying for stupidity. I like it. I just wish this revelation had come through before “we” bailed out Solyndra. I guess slackers aren’t slackers if they bundle donations for Obama.
