A support system for the poor is a 10th amendment issue, not a federal concern. That goes for SSA etc. etc. etc.

On the contrary. The RINOS are desperately trying to pass something to keep this from collapsing on its own. The actual American nationalists in congress are blocking that.

Because if they do not then all of the people who pointed out that this plan was the work of idiots will be proven right, and it will be much harder to try seizing total control of healthcare for the government.

The Uniparty are the only people on the planet who want this crap propped up longer, and their desperation to hold on to a portion of the power they were seizing causes them to out themselves.

You used to be able to buy a teeshirt at Urban Outfitters that said “New Mexico - cleaner than Regular Mexico”. Bunch of crybabies made them stop selling them, though.
