Put Ted Cruz in the White House and see how long the abominable, super hated by the American people, Obamacare lasts. Cruz already brought the government to a halt trying to stop Obamacare, even with King Zamanuda in the White House.

Much as I would like to see a Cruz White House dismantle Obamacare, I doubt it will happen. For one thing he will need a conservative congress, and while both houses are now under Republican control, the reality is that there are very few real conservatives in either house. Most of these fat cats in Congress derive certain benefits from government programs — even if it's just the votes from certain classes of people. Like it or not, both parties pander to the free stuff crowd.

My Dad used to say, there's no such thing as a temporary tax. President Reagan said the closest thing to immortality is a government program. Once a tax or program is implemented, it never goes away.

Perhaps the IRS and the EPA can be overhauled. Lord knows, both of them need reform. But I'm not going to hold my breath. There again, the politicians are beholden to a certain group of people — this time, it's government workers.
