We keep going over this with you. Whether or not you are impressed, the fact is there are some long term funding processes the Democommies put in place that keep on ticking with or without a funding vote.

Why don't you figure out how we can destroy the Democrat majority in the Senate.

Going over this with ME? Don't remember that. Having read the law myself (but not claiming superior understanding) and having stopped working in health care (in large part due to this hideous law) I am well aware of some of the long-term funding mechanisms contained in it. I'm also aware that the GOP could do more to defund it and to draw public attention to some of the problematic provisions that many people don't even know about yet.

I'm not convinced that a GOP majority in the senate would be much different. I'd rather see a conservative majority. GOP and conservative are no longer synonymous. Both parties are behaving like ruling elites and I'm fed up with it.

Make excuses for the GOP if you like. I'm not going to. This law has had a hugely negative impact on me in ways I don't feel compelled to share here. And because of the difficulty this law has made for me, I'm not inclined to excuse any elected official who claims to represent me but authorizes funding and engages in merely symbolic gestures for repeal. And--this irritates me as much as anything else--keeps silent when opportunities abound to call attention to some of the nasty things coming down the pike. These guys won't even TALK about it!

Putting on my best Mrs Slocombe voice: Weak as water, weak as water. And I am unanimous in that!
