“The GOP should require Obama and the Democrats to agree to offsetting permanent domestic spending cuts in return for one year of extra Obamacare cash...”
HELL NO!
That’s the kind of deals that never go away. Once ANY government action is started IT BECOMES PERMANENT!
Rules are rules and laws are laws. Once written they must be obeyed without exceptions.
Allow Obamacare to fall on it’s ass and the people will finally open their eyes and revolt! Obamacare was solely designed to appease the left and now look at it......
Perhaps I was unclear. My suggestion for a compromise that would provide extra funding for Obamacare in the current budget is not to preserve it but to take the issue beyond the 2016 election. Otherwise, if there are health insurance cancellations due to a lack of extra funding, there will be a campaign issue and much whining about people who lose their health insurance coverage because of GOP stinginess. I would rather pocket gains now from killing off some Democratic programs, and leave to a new GOP President and Congress in 2017 a free hand to kill Obamacare and put a GOP substitute in place.
