We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Kinda like Mexia, Texas. No, no it's pronounced
Ma-Hay-a. Perhaps Seguin, Texas. No, it isn't Seg-win it's Sa-geen,
and of course the ever popular Bexar County, Texas, wrong again taco breath. . .It isn't BeX-ar, it's Bay-har, the county of San Antonio, Texas! Remember the Alamo! God Bless The Republic!

Verdad, amigo?

Mac,
I hate to correct you but - Refugio is phonetically pronounced-

Re-fyur-io (a long 'u' sound)

The 'g' is pronounced like an 'r'.

I do not know why, but that is how it is pronounced.
