Dear Mr. President:
Do NOT under any circumstances endorse or sign RYANcare. RYANcare will immediately become TRUMPcare and that will destroy your credibility and your presidency.
Ryan and the globalist big government GOPe hates you and what you ran on just as much as the democrats and the media. The day you sign TRUMPcare, you own it and they own you. You will be the GOPe's prison bitch. You will also lose your support base and then your tax plan and other trade and economic plans go up in smoke.
Do not settle for anything less than full and complete repeal. If you can't get that from congress, then veto whatever they send up (rinse and repeat as necessary) and if they fail eventually to send up a clean repeal bill then sign nothing and let Obamacare implode on its own.
The crap about 60 votes is crap indeed. They control the senate and the rules. No excuses! This is totally in Republican hands.
If they override your veto, then they own the disaster that follows and you will still have your credibility and your support base. And we are prepared to fight these evil socialist bastards until hell freezes over if necessary.
What happens to the millions of poor people if they lose their health insurance? Well, how did they manage to get health care before Obama? What happened to the millions of people who lost their health care when Obamacare was installed? What happened to the millions who lost their jobs due to Obamacare? What's happening to our economy and our national debt as a result of socialist programs? What happens to our people when the government finally goes bust?
Look, the media, the democrats, the GOPe, the globalists, the corporatists, the crony capitalists, the socialists, the illegals, the Mohammedists, etc, are all going to hate you no matter what you do. Do not under any circumstances blink, retreat or cave-in to their socialist demands. That would be the end of your moral authority and the resulting continuation of unchecked big government will lead to the ultimate collapse of our economy.
Worst case, if the current socialist government/crony capitalist corporate healthcare insurance industry implodes, we will still survive as a free nation and free people. We have faith in God, our constitution, our free markets and our ability to overcome major obstacles. We shall overcome and persevere.
If we slay the federal behemoth and get back to free markets, we will find that government costs will come down, the economy will soar, healthcare costs will come down, federal tax rates can come down, and as more companies are profiting and more people are working, federal and state tax receipts will actually increase. And truly destitute people who cannot provide for themselves can be supported by local and state programs as intended.
Hold the line. America will love you for it in the long run.
Sorry, but no to cutting Medicare. People have worked hard & paid into this their whole lives. This is their money.
AMEN
AMEN
I always get the feeling, with his perpetual smirk & the way he holds himself that he fancies himself quite a stud. YUCK!!!! Double YUCK!
What Jim said!
While I have little confidence that this staff generated RyanCARE beast will make it anywhere, much less to the president’s desk, I have even worse confidence in anyone’s ability to predict the end of President Trump. I don’t think this would destroy his administration, nor any legacy of accomplishments.
I’ve seen a mighty lot of predictions of what might end his political career.
I totally agree, Jim.
Most excellent post, JimRob! I agree with every word of it!
Thank you.
Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows and Louis Gohmert all refused to challenge Ryan for the Speaker’s gavel.
They wouldn’t even try.
Why?
President Trump:
Would you seriously flush the support of those who trusted you and voted for you down the toilet for the likes of Paul Ryan? We stood by you; RINOS like Ryan tried to destroy you!
President Trump...this is a no-brainer!
Before nobamacare we had Medicade for those who could not afford insurance. It worked quite well. It is still working today. It’s just not talked about. Illegal babies are born and taken care of under medicade, as is their mother. People who cannot afford insurance still use medicade, even for dental and eye care.
Paul Ryan did not like Donald J. Trump during the campaign and let everyone know it. When Pres. Trump was inaugurated Paul Ryan changed his tune “a bit”, just enough to get his- self elected as Speaker of the House. Now that he;s won this position, he can show his true thoughts and feeling. He doesn’t give a whip for anything but his wife’s democrat directions and his “place” as Speaker in the House where
he can preen before tv and sugar coat what he and a few
of the “George soros bought” republicans are doing to the nobamacare bill. It’s nobamacare Lite.
I like the way you think Jim.
Isn’t Obamacare failing on its own? If so, why chase it with repeal?
A few things:
1. People paid a working lifetime of payroll taxes into Medicare.
2. Obama stole $500 million from Medicare and put it into his unconstitutional ACA.
3. It seems it would be just to take that Medicare transfer and transfer it back. And it shouldn’t be difficult as Medicare was never repealed.
Now it seems fairly simple to get the 60 votes to repeal Obamacare. Oh yes, it is easy, don’t think it’s not.
It’s just going to take to committing to play hardball against democrats (and republicans) which the stupid GOP never does because many of them are in on it. They only play hardball with conservatives. Just remember Mississippi.
The President wrote ‘The Art of the Deal’. He can get the leverage to make the dems play ball. Here’s how:
Obama and his criminal ring stole criminally and massively from GSO’s in the mortgage market to prop up the ACA.
Here’s a report from less than a month ago:
http://blogs.barrons.com/focusonfunds/2017/02/22/fannie-and-freddie-took-a-big-fall-will-bruce-berkowitz-fairholme-come-tumbling-after
AG Sessions can direct DOJ resources into investigating the events discovered in these lawsuits as part of a probe into a criminal conspiracy. It shouldn’t take that much time to find a lower level group of conspiracists to obtain plea deals on in return for turning evidence on higher ups. Some of those higher ups can be expected to lead into the DNC leadership.
Once Sessions has the DNC leadership by the balls, the 60 votes needed to repeal Obamacare should be a cakewalk.
My hhusband went from having great insurance to none when he lost his job. Two years later no insurance, but we pay the ridiculous $695.00 penalty at tax time. If I understood correctly they disbanded that this year. We still have to take them to our tax guy.
This magical Obama care is nowhere to be found. We found a minimum of $300.00 plus a month, but the deductible was so ridiculously high it was a joke.
If we ever decide to become slackers we could get all the freebies available. Beyond messed up.
So why are he and Pence both out there pushing it?! Its maddening!!! Its obamaesque!!!
Jim, forgot to ping you to #56.
Amen Jim, great post and I hope he reads it.
President Trump has one base of support. The people who elected him.
Both parties establishment hate him and want him to fail.
They want Fedzilla to be at the center of everyone’s healthcare and to have access to all their healthcare records.
They want to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
Those two things are why President Trump got elected.
He must try to repeal Obamacare. Better to let it fail as Obamacare then fail as Trumpcare.
He MUST build the wall/fence/barrier and deport illegal aliens. DACA must be ended. No new applications taken and previous recipients notified that they will not be renewed.
Gives them time to make plans.
