After about a month in control of the House of Representatives, Republicans haven't managed to undo as many deeds of their Democratic predecessors as they'd like. They couldn't get rid of "Obamacare," and they haven't made much headway in slashing the president's $4-trillion budget.

Charlotte, honey, you speak too soon. Give it some time.

They did pass a bill to kill Obamacare, but the democrat-controlled Senate killed it. Frankly, I was plesantly surprised they had the 'nads to do so. Now they're going to unfund it. Be patient.

I do see your point about the stupid plastic-ware. But just keep in mind that that stupidity, codified into laws hither and yon across the fruited plain, will take some time to repeal, such was the zeal of the democrats to nanny-state us.

We are indeed done if this cannot be reversed, but there is so much to do. If you and your readers really care about helping, then pull the Republican switch across the board come November of 2012!

Here is a better idea....be just like your constituents...get rid of the high dollar cafeteria, and brown bag it to work, just like your constituents...save the country a few buck too....oh and that new office furniture, just forget about that too...how many of your constituents get to order brand new office furniture when they are hired?????

We are toast because we haven't done anything in 30 days?

The only way to accomplish anything in 30 days is for the Federal Government to completely collapse. And then, what would be the headlines?

It is extremely easy to use poor workmanship to produce a poorly built building. It is extremely difficult to take down that same building without damaging its neighbors or creating other problems.

If you want to avoid unintended consequences when dismantling legislation you will have to move slowly. Proof of statement - look at how many flaws, intention, unintentional, and illegal are contained in ObamaCare, the object of this exercise.

Has he finally formally proposed his budget or is that beast finally coming this week? They voted to appeal Obamacare successfully in the House. Since that failed in the Senate, they can try defunding. It's been just over 30 days which, time wise, is nothing to gov't.

Even new presidents set "first 100 days" for their agenda.
