WE ARE DOOMED!
So a Republican controlled House, Senate and White House cannot find enough votes to repeal Obamacare. Even to pass Obamacare-lite, which I suppose repeals something, but leaves the mandates, taxes, and other aspects in place.
This shows that the many "repeal" votes taken during the Obama Administration were, as we all suspected, show votes by the GOP with no substance.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she would not vote for the latest repeal bill because of cuts included in the bill to Medicaid. Therein lies our doom.
If there is ever going to be any fiscal sanity brought to bear in Washington, and if the spending deficits and the National Debt is to ever be tackled, it MUST be by way of reforming entitlements. This would require changing of eligibility requirements, and an overall reduction in the size, scope and cost of these programs. But there is clearly no stomach for this among the Ruling Class in Washington because it would endanger the re-election hopes of anyone who votes to make these cuts. Why? Because 40% of the American people rely on government handouts to make ends meet. 45% are on food stamps. Illegal aliens - 20 Million of them - are allowed access to government benefits, making a bad situation even worse.
Given the lack of any appetite for cutting government spending on social programs, the only alternative path, short of armed revolution, is continuing down the road we are on, with increasing deficits, added trillions to the national debt, and eventual financial collapse. I.E. Doom.

imo, CG repeatedly states his opinion on GW without evidence to support it, and CG does not reply when asked for the objective evidence. Such an alternate view does not advance rational discussion, imo.
Yes, and it must be named for what it is........the sacrifice of self to [all] others. I have named it for years, receiving mostly a blank stare reminiscent of a cow.............the responsibility for which lies with education (at all levels) for the last 40+ years.
Maybe you should look in a mirror... and decide if you really belong in a place where free speech is allowed...
Yes!!!! More need to be aware of this........learn to understand it.............not easy, but very crucial.
The answer lies in an Article V Convention of the States. Rand admired our Constitution, even though she could see where it was going. The Constitution gives us the fix for these problems. Support an Article V Convention of the States. And vote more Conservative representatives in place of these RINOs come primary time.
Full Repeal, that's it. Perhaps the Dems and media are actually doing us a favor, and we'll actually have no other alternative except a full repeal. Trump can do it without repercussions in his second term. Politics today are totally geared to re-election, not what is best for the country, the people of the country. Term Limits is another need, and real soon. And with term limits, most proven successful people could afford to give a few years, no charge, for the good of the country.
