John Boehner has decided to promote amnesty for illegal aliens again. He was going on a few days ago about how the House didn't want to work on it because it's hard. Yes, it is hard. It is especially hard for the Republicans. There is little hope that the Republican cause will be helped by giving illegal aliens amnesty. For that matter, how is amnesty good for the current American citizens?
Why does John Boehner feel that he should take the focus off of Obamacare? I don't understand it. The Republican base isn't calling for amnesty. When the illegals are made legal by an amnesty law, how will they vote? Regardless of whether the amnesty is pushed and passed by the Republicans or the Democrats, it is most likely that the new citizens will vote Democrat. The Republican base will definitely be turned off by a law that makes criminals full citizens that have access to free health care and all of the benefits available to the poor and unemployed in the USA.
I have a message for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Spend the rest of your legislative time before the November election putting together a plan for eliminating the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act. Supposedly, 7-8 million people are now covered by Obamacare. Figure out how it can be shut down without leaving them "out in the cold." Come up with a plan for getting the folks covered that have lost their insurance under the PPACA. Develop a new "contract with America" that gives the voters a reason to vote Republican in the fall. The idea of getting the folks health care coverage when they are poor is a good one. Find a way to do that without messing up the coverage the rest of us already have. Use the private sector rather than inefficient government programs to fix the problems we face. That is true of health insurance, unemployment, banking, the stock markets, etc.
Competition is the answer. If a bank screws their customers, how long will they stay in business? Not very long, as long as there are competitive banks out there. What keeps pricing in check in the marketplace? Competition. Why do companies continue to innovate, to improve quality, to reduce cost, etc.? They have to compete. Why does the government operate so inefficiently? Why does everything cost so much more and require so much bureaucracy when the government operates? The folks in government don't get rewarded in any way for efficiency. The MessAPolitico is all about growing itself and swallowing up everything in its path.
It's time for the MessAPolitico to be reminded that they work for us. If they want to continue to work in Congress, the voters need to be given a reason to vote for them. The MessAPolitico should compete for our votes by coming up with a competitive plan for operating the government. If you folks want a guaranteed win in the fall, come up with a business plan for operating the country. Guarantee that you will begin its implementation as soon as you are elected in the fall. The voters are tired of hearing why they shouldn't vote for the other guy. The voters are tired of dirty politics and mudslinging. Someone please give us a positive message that simply tells what you will do to make things better in the country.
