Ending the filibuster is good for America. Now let’s kill Obamacare!

I think you just revealed the flaw in your own argument.

When the Dems have control, which they will someday, they will pass all manner of legislation - it's what big government types do.

The ACA repeal debacle shows that once programs takes hold - especially entitlements - it's extremely difficult to repeal the underlying legislation even with the other party in power.

It's much easier to stop legislation via the filibuster than to reverse it once in place.

I agree . . . and disagree.

Create Obamacare, then kill it. Even the democrats won’t create it again, not with the political price they paid, the disruption, and then nothing to show in the long term. Killing this expensive and disruptive an entitlement is one of the rare times when it’s worth almost any cost.
