I mean it is pretty pathetic to not have your own plan ready when you ran on it.

It's almost like they were just capitulating to people who thought their intentions were to actually repeal the piece of shit.

the problem is that Obamacare was mainly two things.

taxes and medicare expansion.

No one wants to touch either of these. in fact, they want to keep the taxes and use more tax money to bail out the insurance companies. so ofc no one is going to vote on this. the federal government has rarely if ever repealed such lucrative taxes. its just not going to happen.

Once it went into effect, there was no going back.

Exactly, you're never going to be able to get rid of either of those without facing repercussions. Both parties have poor people who vote for them, and both parties have the pharmaceuticals and insurance companies in their pockets. Having either of these two go against you would spell a death sentence to the party.

Yet, they'll still say they're for lower taxes when in reality the likes of John Mccain and Lindsey Graham would happily raise taxes on everyone if it meant using said revenue on blowing shit up and corporate subsidies.

I'm afraid you may be right. it's easy to increase the size of government but the inverse is a doomed effort fraught with morons from every angle.

I've given up on making any dent in the deficit. You can't take away healthcare, you can't cut defense, so you're fucked. Those two take very large pieces of the pie. Little cuts to things like PBS mean nothing.

It's because they secretly love Obamacare, but their voting base doesn't. Part of Trump's agenda as president is exposing all the hypocrites in the government on both sides. Everyone in congress are looking like fools to the public right now. I couldn't be happier.

I echo your words, anon.
However, I'm skeptical anything constructive could arise from such a robust dumpster fire.
I move closer to full 14/88 by the day. Godspeed, sir

Repealing and/or replacing Obamacare was always a pipe dream. Too many vested interests. The only way a replacement would pass is if it was even more beneficial to the establishment and healthcare industries, and Americans would revolt if such a bill were passed.
