It is, after all, about Obamacare

Collectively, (yes, red and blue together), we need to stick a fork in Obamacare and call it done. Over. Finished. This was sold to the American public with a quart of snake oil, and a pound of BS.

The government shut down. What is it all about? One word, and one word only. Obamacare. Or, known in some circles as the greatest oxymoron in history - the Affordable Care Act. First, a quick trip in our way back machine. The year is 2010, and Congress is voting on Obamacare. Barry was president, and this entire boondoggle was his idea. Every single Republican (and thirty some Democrats) voted against it. It passed by a whisker, and Barry signed it into law.

Why so many votes against it? Why didn't more people believe in it? Because from day one, it was a canard. The numbers never added up. BTW, I am still waiting for my $2,500 check if we passed Obamacare. Actually, it has been on life support since day one. How did we pay for it? Our giant (and growing) national debt. In fact, during the Biden era, it needed to have additional financial support from the Inflation Reduction Act (another great oxymoron). That act passed (barely), and the supports for Obamacare are to sunset on December 31, 2025. And that is what the government shutdown is all about.

Another not so brilliant idea was to open up Obamacare to illegals. That made this unaffordable act - mega-unaffordable. But the Dems in Congress want the entire enchilada rolled into a bill which they would vote for. How are we going to pay for it? WHO CARES! Meanwhile, the sickness of Obamacare will continue to wreck our economy. Obamacare, just like the person it is named after, has been, and always will be - a fraud.

Collectively, (yes, red and blue together), we need to stick a fork in Obamacare and call it done. Over. Finished. This was sold to the American public with a quart of snake oil, and a pound of BS. Chalk it up to lessons learned, and let's focus on making our health care really more affordable (the right way). The only reason we are not doing this, is Democrats paying homage to Barry Obama. Obamacare was his signature achievement. What a waste of time.

Meanwhile, the government stays closed. Our military is working without pay. People, families, are suffering. This is unacceptable, and fixable. But it can't be fixed while the government remains shut. Time to end this. NOW!
