Let's Get to the Skinny of it...

Is anyone actually even bothering to bring up the notion to fix the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?  All we hear is repeal and replace, but not "lets get together and fix it to our liking."    I watched the debate at Capitol Hill about the "Skinny" repeal on the ACA.  The Senator from Wyoming, Mike Enzi, operated an "anti-filibuster" in which he is rambling on about the ACA with no real significance, taking long pauses, and not yielding any questions from Democrats (if you remember, the GOP has all but shut out the Democrats from reading the healthcare bill).   Enzi knows he has 40-plus minutes to the Democrats) to speak on the floor and all he is doing purposely making sure that the Democrats will have barely any time to read the bill.  He even ran out of things to say about the ACA and proceeded with other nonsense.

Enzi--as nation's health care system is on line--now discussing Segways. And how a guy got to a cocktail party on a wheelchair

Democracy, Not Democracy

This little article of mine is aimed towards those hardcore, hardnosed, far-right Trump supporters who are perfectly fine accusing the Democrats of corruption while ignoring Trumps web of deceit.

I saw this tweet the other day and it made me grunt in annoyance:

Let's clear some things up about why that caption is completely wrong (and ignorant).

Quick Muse: Congressional Term Limits

The great part about having freedoms of speech and expression means that we all have the right to agree to disagree.  Every once in awhile though, we end up being able to agree with people that have completely different viewpoints than yourself.  Case in point: Ted Cruz.
