Progressive Health Agenda is Medicare Fraud for All

Last update June 20, 2020Leave a Comment

Medicare for all is the rallying cry for an election-ready progressive health agenda that forgot that the party of progressives already promised us a health care system for everybody. We didn’t get what we were promised. That doesn’t mean we won’t get more fraudulent guarantees.

Last update June 2, 2018Leave a Comment

Last update October 7, 2017Leave a Comment

I’m a conservative Republican who hopes that the Senate GOP Obamacare repeal fails next week. Graham-Cassidy is a mistake. Republicans are trying to fulfill a promise that makes no political sense in a climate where deals we can’t refuse are what matter.

Members of Congress Afraid of Us for the Wrong Reason

Last update June 17, 2017Leave a Comment

When should members of Congress be afraid of us? When we enter the voting booth. That’s where we get our chance to govern. After the Alexandria shootings they will be afraid, but their fear won’t have much to do with the consent of the governed.

Congress is Hopeless but Republicans are Worthless

Last update January 27, 2019Leave a Comment

So you thought gridlock was finally a thing of the past with a GOP majority sending lots of bills to a Republican Oval Office? Nope. Gridlock never ended. It’s going to get worse. Progress on Capitol Hill is stalling. Congress is hopeless and lawmakers know it.
