I don't think the GOP has a plan. It is like they are pushing against a wall. Remove the wall and they fall on their face. This Representative did a good job of summing up the Republicans 51st attempt to appeal Obamacare last Friday. (You'll have to excuse me. I just learned the fun of YouTube.)
H.R. 4015 Rep. McDermott - YouTube
we dont have a plan to fix obama's mess because he isnt dont messing up yet leftard.
we dont want to take the Left's approach and pass something we havent bothered to read do we leftardz?
What really strikes me as surprising is that Republicans actually took the time to work together on this stuff before they sabotaged it. Is is not that no one has read it. Besides the bills that are hundreds of pages long most bills are fairly short and straight forward, that is until Republicans try to turn them into political statements. 51 attempts to repeal the ACA have been more than just 51 wasted votes that could of been used for other bills. It is also the 51 pieces of legislation that would probably been passed if the Republicans had not poisoned it. As in H.R. 4015 everyone wanted to reform the SGR, hundreds of hours had been put into crafting the solution, everything was going beautifully up until the eleventh hour when the Republicans decided, "Hey, here is another chance to repeal the ACA." Now what? The ACA did not get repealed but not only that the SGR did not get fixed. These are no small actions. They are costing the American taxpayers millions and the economy is not being helped much either. The Republicans do no have the country's best interests in mind. When one sees a party line vote that is politics, not policy. The Republicans control the House and as long as they do it will be politics, not policy, which rules the day.
