BALTIMORE, Maryland, Saturday, March 10, 2017 - None of the so-called "new" plans have rustled up even a whiff of support amongst the so-called ding dongs in the mainstream ultra far left media. Instead, these jokers just sit around, twiddling their thumbs, griping and whining and being downright annoying. Sounds just dandy, doesn't it?
The GOP needs to pass some kind of health care reform. The one in place - Obamashame - will implode very soon, as is demonstrated by the heinous fee increases in many states, the outlandish regulations in place in all states, the wholesale lack of confidence and enthusiasm on the part of even those who have spent their hard earned cash on it, not to mention good common sense. The GOP has had years to come up with a replacement for it. But they cannot agree. It seems to me that the plan backed by conservative Republicans is the one favored by nearly all of the people who backed President Trump, but it is also the plan with the least support in Congress. This, to me, has a bad bad smell to it.
We have heard - and I know you've all heard this soliloquy before - that monied interests of so-called landed gentry Republicans are afraid of the financial risks of free market health plans.. America is a free market nation that is afraid of the free market. To be candid, the people afraid of the free market are the ones who already have their money and don't want anyone else to get it, while the ones who want the free market are the little guys still seeking a chance to make their mark in this world.
The GOP Big Wheels - the Paul Ryans and Mitch McConnells (Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr.) of this world - have told the voters that if they give the GOP the House of Representatives they would rid the world of Obamashame. The House being delivered, but Obamashame still holding sway, the big wheels said, well, we need the Senate. They got the Senate. But we need the White House, they implored. They got the White House. Now, incredibly, we are hearing that they "need" some 60 GOP votes in the senate. I say: "don't you dare."
Under their arcane rules they might "want" 60 votes. But rare is the day that either party holds such an overwhelming majority in the august body. The voters have waited on the big wheels hand and foot. They have gotten everything they asked for, and then some. The will of the people couldn't be clearer.
The Democrats are on a downbound train precisely because they governed contrary to the will of the people. McConnell, if he must, can change the bloody rules. Yes he can. The Dems, when they were in charge in the senate, did change the rules, and they did it only because they wanted to serve their slimy base, a base that was demonstrably out of touch with most Americans and on the way to being an obscure minority in the senate.
McConnell has precisely the opposite incentive: he has to do it because the majority of Americans have shown exactly what they want. Change the rules, put the appointed Parliamentarian in her place (this is another obscure and arcane impediment I cannot bring myself to describing), and get Obamashame in the trash dumpster of malfunctioning legislation. And please, do so with all haste, lest you be catching a ride with Obamashame to the wasteland of those who hypocritically called wolf when it was only a squirrel kicking up a ruckus.
