Trump-backing congressman says GOP will use budget 'reconciliation' to repeal Obamacare in first 100 days – depriving Democrats of the chance to filibuster it
* Rep. Chris Collins, the first Republican to endorse President-elect Trump, says the GOP will move legislation to repeal Obamacare within Trump's first 100 days
* Party would use budget procedure that would let them jam it through on a simple majority vote, depriving Senate Democrats of the filibuster
* Medical device tax, 30-hour workweek for coverage, employer mandate, employee mandate all could go, gutting the plan
* Says there would be a 'transition' for 2017
The Republican push to repeal Obamacare is going on a fast track under a procedure that would make minority Democrats powerless to stop it, the first Republican congressman to endorse President-elect Donald Trump said Friday.
Republicans who now have unified control of Congress plan to move to repeal Obamacare during the first 100 days of the incoming Trump administration, said Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY).
They would do this under a budget procedure called 'reconciliation,' which requires a simple majority vote to approve tax and spending changes.

I like it.
I’m of the opinion that the biggest problem with our trade deals is that we don’t enforce them, like so many of our other laws. A strictly policed approach to what we have now would be a good starting point for negotiations.
*TRUMP BUMP*
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)

Thank you for your comment.
Please note that I gladly helped to hire Trump because he works good and fast. So 72 for hours to us is like probably like 72 days of work for Trump, New York minute and all that.
But noting that “conservative” does not necessarily mean “constitutionalist,” my long-predicted problem with Trump is that he has not given a clear signal that he is up to speed with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers. And since he’s not going to learn about those limited powers from the corrupt Washington cartel, it’s up to us Constitution-savvy patriots to get him enlighten him on those limited powers.
And we’ve got to get him up to speed fast. Otherwise, he going to be another “wrong way Riegels.”
Roy Riegels wrong way run in the Rose Bowl
PERFECT!!!!
That’s encouraging. That’s what we want them to do.
Will Ditch go along?
” There’s nothing wrong with an insurance company in Iowa selling an insurance policy to a customer in New York, but it’s going to have to meet the regulatory requirements of the State of New York. If the Constitution means anything to us here on FreeRepublic, then this is not negotiable. “
I’m quite sure (hopeful) that your point should be quite negotiable. If the two state’s requirements cannot be worked out, it doesn’t happen. That puts the onus on the states to synch up.
Have a little talk with’em before issuing the new credentials, is that what you mean? Tune’em up a little bit?
EXCELLENT - get rid of it using the same sneaky techniques Piglosi, Reid, and Obie used. Turn about is certainly fair play.
Great list. It brings tears to my eyes.
What about Roberts on the Supreme Court. What can we do about him?
Oh my God, I had never realized until this moment that the tanning salon tax was a tax on White people. Duh.
Woohoo! Great news!!!
Christmas came early this year!

.. is total supposition on your part, and that to state it as fact on the third day after our victory does no one any favors.
Having said that, it would be absolutely wonderful if Making America Great Again includes, as part of its philosophical underpinning, a strong adherence to the tenets of the 10th.
This is great news. We need to keep the pressure on congress to do it though.
How looooooong has it been since we've had 'normal' ? !
Just like arrogant obama, the RATS don’t think karma will come around to them.
Sounds good to me!
