As for Obamacare “repeal”, I tend to think they are waiting for the higher 2018 PPACA premiums to be posted.
The 2018 silver plan deductibles will probably be much higher.
Medicaid reform probably should be separated out.
I so wish we could pass a law that says Congress critters must reside at their HOME STATE OFFICES 90% of the year...and only be in DC 10% of the time....or something like that.
If Mr. Turkeyneck didn’t see this coming he’d better never walk in the streets.
“TAX CUTS”
I think tax cuts are out of the question while welfare state growth is out of control.
McConnell is guilty of being lazy and not doing his job. He needs to just take a retirement and simply get out of the way.
McConnell’s own campaign rhetoric was the same in setting up expectations...an example:

They were already getting moldy 10 years ago.
Agreed. There seems no remedy at this point. This is how violent overthrows are set in motion. Half of the American people hate Trump, but almost ALL of the American people loathe congress. Every once in a while, heads roll. Literally.
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
God says he hates those that take a 'false' oath...Zechariah 8:16These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 17And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
Mitch you got some Heavenly accounting ahead of you!!!!
Say what you will about LBJ but when he was Senate Majority Leader, he got things done.
Criminal Senate. Criminal House.
“The “barrage” was in reaction to Senator McConnell’s own criticism - he struck first, and got reacted to. If McConnell had kept his mouth shut this wouldn’t be happening.”
Precisely. Mitch opened his mouth first in Kentucky.
They must have pure crap for brains if they didn’t see this coming. What idiots!
A president is not going to let Congress bums show him up. They are absolute fools.
I want affordable coverage options.
This might be say five days a year of hospitalization for EMTALA conditions with say:
1. a $2,000/deductible or
2. 50% co-insurance to $1,500 out-of-pocket
3. (and then 10% co-insurance to $3,000 total out-of-pocket)
I saw McConnell called out by Senator Ted Cruz on the Senate floor for nearly the same thing - sitting on his ass preening himself. McConnell and many other RINOs have been comfortable with their DECEPTION of voting Republicans - blaming Democrats - while they do NOTHING but enjoy the perks of their offices. Enough is ENOUGH. President Trump’s calling out McConnell should NOT be a surprise. McConnell’s latest “wake up” call should have been the election of President Trump. Talk about being out of touch!!!!!
McConnell and allies need a lot more than mere “stunning”....they need replacement...asap!
but stunning them was a good start for Donald
I have said the politicos only have to freeze Trump out for 2 years and then it is a new ballgame. I did not just mean Democrats, but the entrenched political structure. This includes our RINOS. Stall, slow walk, will be the tactic until after 18 elections.
Long game. Turtles. That kind of thing, while big government increases its stranglehold on liberty.
Stunned? Wait until the returns come in on Election night 2018.
DITCH MITCH
The SOB
