And, the majority of the Bills signed into law have been regulation cancellations under the Congressional Review Act, which is a privileged measure in the Senate.
Fire the smarmy SOB!
We’re being taken for a ride, and not just by Ryan. The Status Quo Caucus is no better.
EOs are easier to rescind that bills. Its why whatshisface did so many for those eight years. If Trump ever gets an easy 60 votes in the senate, I think EOs will diminish and he can pass tougher to repeal laws.
The problem is that Ryan is a progressive. A progressive of a different stripe than Hillary, but a progressive nonetheless.
The Dem members of congress are used to being dictated to, where the leadership sits down in a secret room with the Center for American Progress or some other special interest, writes legislation and then tells the Dems to fall in line because supporting it is the progressive, party line thing to do.
That approach doesn’t work well with Republicans. Ryan sat in a room with his special interests, the Chamber of Commerce and Insurance lobbyists, wrote the healthcare bill and then planned to order everyone to vote for it, like the Dems do, using President Trump to lobby for it.
Of course the bill did nothing to bring down health care costs which have been skyrocketing. It did get rid of some taxes Ryan’s backers wanted rid of and changed the method of doling out welfare to “refundable tax credits” instead of premium support subsidies, because the GOPe likes the optics of distributing welfare through the IRS instead of through other government bureaucrats.
Ryan needed to sound out the members first on ideas for a legislative approach. And hold real committee meetings and hearings and debate the merits of amendments. And it’s almost always better to start out with a conservative position and negotiate from there rather than vice versa.
Ryan needs to go. He is not capable of leading Republicans.
1. Bill that eliminates all Obamacare exemptions and waivers. Every damned one.
2. Bill that requires Congress, staff, and federal employees to join Obamacare within 60 days. Every damned one.
3. Move on to taxes, regulations, and border security.
4. Obamacare repeal Bill in 2018 with democrat support.
The only hope of getting Ryan out is for everyone who has a GOP Rep, to inundate him or her with piles of letters and e-mails telling them that they are next if Ryan isn’t gone right away.
BTTT....!!!
