The American people are rightly frustrated here in the middle of July, six months into the Trump presidency -- and still no repeal of Obamacare. Crony politics and broken promises helped put the law into place (you can keep your plan and your doctor, and see $2500 in savings to boot!!). Seven years later we now have even more evidence of how deep the status quo roots are in the DC swamp.
The House passed its health care bill earlier this year and so far the Senate has yet to find the votes to pass a bill. Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging a yes vote this week just to begin Senate debate on repealing and replacing Obamacare. We have only so many legislative days left in this year, and a list of priorities the people expect us to address. It's time for action.
Last week, fellow Virginian and Freedom Caucus member Rep. Tom Garrett initiated a seldom-used parliamentary procedure to advance an Obamacare repeal bill introduced earlier this year by Rep. Jim Jordan, that has since been stalled in committee. This is the same standalone repeal bill that Republicans passed in 2015. The goal is to put the same bill on Trump's desk that was put on President Obama's desk in 2015, and then enter into negotiations of a replacement bill that will return decision making back to consumers, lower premiums, have portability and price transparency and work over the long term. We also want to light a fire under the Senate so they can get something done.
And just to make this point crystal clear: it is more than a little ironic that we put a repeal bill on the desk of President Obama when we knew it wouldn't get signed and now this Congress won't put the same bill on the desk of President Trump when it will get signed. If that doesn't summarize the culture of the swamp nothing does. So after all of the complex convoluted attempts have been tried, it is now time to put in a simple repeal bill that we all voted for in the past. ...
Here is another concrete example about what the crazy left has done in support of their mission. There don't seem to be any boundaries at all in their universe of resistance.
Last week, the people behind the Women's March tweeted happy birthday wishes to convicted cop killer Assata Shakur. Shakur escaped prison and is hiding out in Cuba, since she's still on the FBI's list of wanted terrorists. After a firestorm of criticism erupted over the birthday wishes, the Women's March doubled-down on its praise of the terrorist, claiming that Shakur's “resistance tactics were different from ours. That does not mean that we do not respect her anti-sexism work.”
After the Women's March in DC, it has become obvious to all that the tone of today's politics has radically changed, encouraged by inflammatory rhetoric that starts at the very top of the resistance movement. When you have leaders of a group who imply jihad against President Trump (as march organizer Linda Sarsour did recently) it is fair to call out their extreme tactics without having the mainstream media make it sound as if I'm opposed to the women in a Presbyterian bible study. As we get more hard data on what this group stands for, I wish the mainstream press would report on it as not doing so is a disservice to the American people. ...
Thanks for the great letter about the PUPPERS Act, Tyler. This bipartisan bill that I introduced a few weeks ago would halt cruel testing being performed on puppies at the McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond and other centers nationally. It now has 16 cosponsors. ...
I am leading the charge for pro-business tax cuts that will help you and your family by increasing your wages and helping to find your kids jobs. The Obama administration had 8 years to get the economy back on track but didn't get the job done. Instead, Democrats pushed forward with misguided attempts to stimulate the economy by picking winners and losers and doling out taxpayer money to favored cronies. Common sense tax reform will give hardworking Americans the freedom to spend and invest money the way they see fit, and that is what will lead to lasting economic growth, prosperity, and happiness.
