Oh don’t get me wrong... I am very proud of the work the Republicans in the House have done. I just don’t think they presented it such a way to get it through to the end.
Also, please do not just spit out general talking points that do not fit because I just wish we could get some conservative legislation through and am concerned it won’t happen or because I am not an academic financial scholar and am getting confused over all the different Republican plans they are putting forth. The first-shelf answer to everything these days seems to be “oh, you listen to the MSM”. I can not tolerate even watching, reading, or listening the MSM.
When our country begins to stand by their principles while caring about PEOPLE, I think we’ll all be a lot better off.
Caring about people is the duty of the individual or private helping organizations like the Lions club or a local church. It is NOT the duty of the state to "care for people". It is exactly that abrogation of personal responsibility to a state run monster bureaucracy that has created this 14 Trillion debt nightmare. It is not "caring for people" to shackle them to a subsistence level Government hand out so the politicians can keep them a slave voting class trapped into voting for the same corrupt political class year after year out of fear of losing the few scraps from the table the politicians are willing to throw them.
It time to start breaking these chains of political dependency we have been conned into donning the last 100 years and learn to stand on our own two feet.
How should they have presented it? Do you really think the MSM will be objective in using their filter to describe the Rep plan?

Confused? If you are confused, you are not making any attempt to inform yourself. Go to the primary source material using the Internet. It is not difficult.

If the shoe fits, wear it. Your comments sound like MSM and Dem talking points. Somehow, they seem to be having an effect on your views. "Can't we all just get along?" I notice you never respond to my questions about what the Dems should compromise on or their lack of a plan. You seem to buy into the MSM/Dem argument that all sides have to compromise and that the solution should be "balanced," i.e., there should be additional revenue in the form of new taxes.

Once you get passed such bromides, you must have real policies and solutions. They are going to be painful. "Caring about PEOPLE" sounds like more redistribution of wealth crap and the expansion of the welfare state that got us into our current state. We can't afford such "caring" without destroying the country and any future for our children and grandchildren.
