When politics triumphs over common sense, chaos reigns.

American politics is defined as the exchange of money for the power to influence the use of government force.

Based on TV reports, there is controversy about whether or not the proposed House American Health Care Act bill will repeal Obamacare. The establishment Republicans say it does.  The Conservatives say no.  Establishment Republicans cannot be trusted.  A leopard does not change its spots.

The bill as proposed by the establishment Republicans is the damage President Trump and contest the 2020 nomination version. The establishment swamp members are bound and determined to have President Trump damaged to the point he cannot run for re-election in 2020.  It is the 2020 Paul Ryan for president version.

This current bill offers health care credits for individual taxpayers paid directly to the insurance companies. That indeed is Obamacare Lite and completely stupid.  Who gets the money if the individual decides not to apply for health insurance?  Remember this transition is supposed to repeal Obamacare—not revise it.  Eliminate payments to the insurance companies.  It is supposed to be a free market.  Insurance premiums must be reduced.  Repeal all the Obamacare regulations with this bill.  This should free up insurance companies to do their thing.  Oh by the way, OMB is making who knows what kind of assumptions on the number of people participating in the new health care system.  Don’t they know that the health system is supposed to be freedom of choice?

I know nothing about the details of this bill other than what I hear on TV—not the mainstream propaganda TV version. If they truly repeal Obamacare and repeal all Obamacare regulations, this later version may have a chance of becoming the 2020 Trump for President version.  This old man remembers the freedom to choose my health care insurance and prefers that version.  Get it done right and then let us start on the tax reforms needed to jumpstart the economy.

The lack of congressional progress in implementing President Trump’s health and tax reforms and recent federal court decisions are prime examples of why we need to pass Accountability and Federal Judiciary Amendments to the Constitution. We can’t let the work that must be done and the laws to be passed interfere with congressional recesses, can we?  The political hack federal judges don’t give a damn about the Constitution because they think they are smarter than the founding fathers and will change the Constitution to suit their personal agenda.  If you agree with activism, then you can expect interpretation of the Constitution to change every 5-10 years as every constitutional issue is revisited by different judges.  When the Constitution is changed every 5-10 years, the public begins to believe that the law does not need to be followed because it will soon change; therefore, ignore all the laws and do what you want to do.  When that happens and it is close to happening now, that ladies and gentlemen is anarchy.

Your professional politician Member of Congress is counting on you forgetting what you dislike about him or her before the next election so that member can get re-elected. If you truly want to have input into how we are governed, the country needs the Revised Accountability Amendment (March 19, 2017 post) enabling the public to remove federal officials and overturn laws and court decisions, and The Federal Judiciary Amendment (March 31, 2016 post) which removes federal judge lifetime appointments and replaces them with a single elected 10 year term.  All politicians will vigorously oppose both amendments because it makes all government immediately accountable to the public with serious consequences for lying and actions that damage our citizens and country.
