I must be dumb, but the above says that they can defund pieces of it, so, simple question....if it works for pieces, why doesn't it work for the whole?
Defunding is defunding...right?
More power to play with a piece against a time. Leverage...
...to keep you voting GOP. “We’ll kill this part for now...we promise...”
Exactly.
Further, aren't the only pieces that the Democrats would agree to delay or defund, the pieces they want to delay or defund? The ones that may make them pay a political price?
Seems to me the two best ways to kill the monster are:
a. Smother the whole damn thing in the crib.
b. Or let it happen...without any sugar-coating. Let it wreak its havoc on the economy...and prove impossible to administer and ghastly to experience. Then repeal it...like the 18th Amendment (only quicker).
The Republicans hold the majority power in the congress and there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever for them not to use it. They’d have all the Republicans behind them, all of the tea party people behind them, and the majority of all American citizens behind them. Very few working citizens or retired folks who have worked all their lives are in favor of fascist/communism. Not even the unions. And that’s exactly what Obama’s pushing here. Fascist/communism!!
Congress do your duty!! Do what you were elected to do!!
Now is the time to strike!!
Do NOT piss it away!!
