Republicans are complicit. They are not afraid or ignorant. They are voting the way they were paid.

Thank you.

We can give the GOP the entire tool box and they won’t repeal Obummer Care.

It the process of no value if vetoed?

The GOP needs 291 House votes and 67 Senate votes to repeal Obamacare, presuming that Obama remains in office through noon on January 20, 2017 and that he won’t sign a repeal bill.

Given that at least half, if not more, of GOP House members and 30-35 GOP senators don’t WANT to repeal Obamacare, and no Democrats do, it looks like a long shot.

All that is really needed is a simple majority

The Republicans are not even close to having a simple majority for repeal, and you know it.

The US Federal budget in FY 2009 was $2.2 billion dollars, give or take. That budget was enacted by a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate, and THAT budget had absurd overspending. The last enacted budget, FY 2014, spent $3.6 trillion, give or take.

Why should a Republican House and Republican Senate not pass an immediate $1.4 trillion cut? In FY 2009, things were running reasonably smoothly. There certainly was no glaring unmet spending need.

They’re making this look hard, when it shouldn’t be.

"Democrats passed much with the simplest of majorities."

True, but they also had a Democrat president who signed the bills. What do you think will happen after the Republicans pass this with a "simple majority" and the president vetoes it?

""Balancing the Budget in Ten Years" is punting, not dealing with the problem at all. No congress can bind succeeding congresses and thie budget and its continuing progress will be all undone in the very next congress. If the job is to be eond it must be done THIS year."

A balanced budget in ten years is certainly better than the Obama budget that NEVER balances. I like the Cruz approach: "When they offer half a loaf, take it. Then come back for more".

What's YOUR plan for achieving a balanced budget THIS year?

“GOP FINALLY HAS TOOL TO REPEAL OBAMACARE”.......

I know someone who has a tremendous collection of “tools” that he never uses, has no intention of using, is not SKILLED in using and will not part with any of them.

Sounds just like the GOP to me.

I have little doubt the GOP will pass a budget and Obama will veto it and the GOP will say "OK" and agree to another continuing resolution so the government isn't "shut down".

In other words, nothing will change. The Liberals are still in charge.

ACA was passed by reconciliation and will die the same way. this does not get past the pResidental veto.
