Last week, it was the fascination with 86ing the medical-device tax (and, to reiterate, the LITD position is that that would be an essential part of any overall final solution). Now, it's with FHer-care subsidy applicants having to verify their incomes - and, again, this is important and must be part of any satisfactory ultimate deal.
But any agreement with the Freedom-Haters on a way to skate past Thursday's debt-ceiling max-out must not hinge on one, or even two, isolated aspects of FHer-care.
So I am encouraged by the rumblings leaking to the public ahead of the meeting of House Pubs going on even as I write.
Would love to know the name of the Representative who called the latest Senate proposal "a mushy piece of s---." I sure agree with him.
Any acceptable final deal must come as close as humanly possible to killing FHer-care outright. Nothing less.
So sing Amazing Grace to OUR God and hug OUR veterans for US. Thanks for your concern.
ReplyDeleteIn 2012 with a 15 percent approval rating, 90 house members were re-elected.. Nationwide Democrats running for office got 1.1 million more votes yet 33 more Republicans were sent to the house. We've created a system where politicians are choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians.

Sometimes i wonder if a method truly exists for getting a bead on what the American people think and feel. And secondary questions arise from that, such as if the public's collective attention span isn't constantly getting shorter.
