What do you suggest they do? They are kinda stuck. Too many people would be negatively impacted if they did what is necessary.
We’re a little bit like a patient that has to have a brain tumor that must be removed, but we are telling he doctor that we REFUSE to let them cut us to get to it. So he does all sorts of “non-effective” solutions to make us “feel” like he is diligently working on the problem - until the patient dies.
This is the situation we are in. The difference between the democrats and republicans is just the fake non-solution thy offer.
I suggest they repeal Obamacare. Not A proper federal activity. If any more welfare or taxpayer-subsidized programs are “necessary” the states can do them ( and better, too).
