Here’s hoping he does.

It’s a 10th Amendment thing.


LOL. Surest way for GOP to lose Congress in 2018 is cutting these subsidies. Not going to happen.

You’ve just nailed why real change will not happen until the system collapses and INVOLUNTARY change results.

By “involuntary”, I mean cities not paying pensions, simply because they have no money to. And everything else that happens when an economy utterly collapses.

The only positive thing is that perhaps the Phoenix will rise from the ashes a little stronger. But first there will be the events that cause those ashes.

It becomes more obvious to me every year. Now every month. And it is because we are reaching that day of reckoning at exponentially increasing speed.

Then let them put their own arses on the line by voting for them. Trump should not run unconstitutional interference for them.

Actually, the surest way is to not repeal Obamacare.

As for the rest, ALL unlawful federal programs should be nixed along with the taxes to support them. People’s circumstances, no matter how dire, are not amendments. Screw everyone.

“Surest way for GOP to lose Congress in 2018 is cutting these subsidies.”

Surest way for GOP to lose Congress in 2018 is to fully fund Obamacare.

The subsidies are not paid for. All they have to do is sit on their hands.

congress is not being presented with a choice.

even trump is not being presented with a full choice. read the article. it says “Trump said his administration may not have the legal authority to make cost-sharing reduction payments, ...”

so the article’s author appears to take the point of view that trump should violate the law.

i note also that there does not appear to be a comments forum for the article. the only thing a reader can do besides read it is to share it. so the article seems to position itself as a form of propaganda.

what am i missing?

Agreed. The turnaround, especially in the House, could be breathtaking. Huge majorities can turn around on a dime, or in this case, on thousands of dollars taken from middle and lower class families. The hardest thing in the world to do is to take away a benefit once people get used to it. There has to be another way to fix this thing. What that is, I don't know.

So, instead of doing what’s right we’re going to cower in FEAR?

I’ll have you to understand that THAT inclination is a primary product of our demented ‘public education’ system.

You might read up on it:

10th? Let’s try A1S8, 5th & 13th....Shame Congress won’t be losing any seats because of the failure to abide by the Constitution.

My first thought as well. The media was already screaming about “he’s threatening to withhold money from the poor who need it most.......”
