The result will be 95-year old cancer patients denied coverage and 40 year old drug dealers forging their way with a resume on a napkin.

Who cares as long as we get to keep more of our money right?

If you get to keep a few more cents...it'll just run up the debt a few more cents...because they won't actually stop spending.
Republicans are afraid to actually change the system, so they piddle around the edges like this.

This is what drives me up the wall. There are much better ways to run health and welfare. They are out there today working well. There are better ways to tax. They are out there today and working. But instead of changing the systems to something better, republicans seem content just to spend less on democrat programs. Democrat lite instead of change for the better.

Bismarck health care to replace Medicaid and ultimately phase out Medicare. A guaranteed minimum basic income to replace our welfare hodgepodge. Pay for it with a consumption tax which generates enough additional revenues to balance the budget and lower and flatten income tax rates. Make that a true alternative platform. Is that conservative? If you accept Barry Goldwater’s principle of, “proven ways, not because they are old but because they are true,” then not just yes but hell yes. These are things that work where they have been tried. They are based on providing a safety net, not massive distribution of wealth and income. That makes them conservative in my book.

You can argue that “tax and spend” democrats are right or you can argue that “deficit and spend” republicans are right. I would say that neither is right—and neither is conservative.

gotta start blowing up the status quo somehow....and as I've stated on too many occasions, we see the same thing but view from a different lens relative to the 'how'

it's going to be interesting to see how this 'experiment' plays out.....so far, so good.....
