Obamacare reminds me of a scene in a movie about Howard Hughes. He walked into a large garage where his engineer was prepping the latest iteration of their steam powered car for a test. The car was running with the boiler nice and hot.

Hughes told the guy to stop work and he was cancelling the project. The guy protested and said they were on the verge of solving their big problems about how to handle all the steam and had put pipes in unused spaces in the car like doors, body panels, etc. and it was very close to being a viable car.

Hughes then grabbed a large adjustable crescent wrench and looked at the car, boiler at full temp, about 40 feet away. He said to the engineer, “This wrench is a Buick.”

He then, full force, threw the wrench at the steamer car. It hit the passenger side door and the entire car was a ball of hot steam spewing everywhere.

He then said, “we just cooked the passengers. Cancel the project.”

This is what needs to happen to Obamacare. It is not viable. It needs to be replaced with something else. And “something else” could be reverting back to what we had before Obamacare. We can then fix THAT.

“It needs to be replaced with something else.”

Great analogy. Fortunately there weren’t health insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists spreading around a lot of cash to keep the steam car project going.

What also needs to be replaced with something else are the GOP-e hacks who are interfering with everything the voters put Trump in office to do.

Just imagine more of those huge enthusiastic Trump rallies, only this time dedicated to primarying his GOP-e opponents.

Viable? O’Care was never about viability; nor was SS, MediXYZ, DoEd, EPA, TSA, NSA...

Govt doesn’t have the AUTHORITY, first and foremost!!

Each and *EVERY* one was to expand the size and scope of govt by 5 steps, then the ‘opposition’ take one back. Property stolen (taxes), graft and fraud abound and Rights and Freedom are trampled\suppressed that We the People no longer remember a time where it wasn’t so.

Like 99% of Fedzilla (and prob. damn close per the State): Rip it out, salt the Earth, nuke the site and hang the remains to remind all of what was.

Makes me wonder how things might be if Trump were President & Hughes were still alive.
