Today marks the start of the new Republican domination of our federal government, at least that how the liberal media is making it sound. They are coming in acting like Americans voted for their agenda but the polls show other wise. After months of lamenting how Democrats were forcing their liberal ideas down Americans throats and wasted Americans time the first thing Republican plan on tackling? Repeal of health care reform. Not only do they not have the votes for this to go anywhere (see waste of time), but the number of Americans that would like to see the bill repealed is around 35% and the number of Americans that think the bill is good as is or needs to go further is somewhere around 60%. Does that matter to Republicans? Nope (see forcing down Americans Throats).
To top things off void of the individual mandate, whose constitutionality should be decided by the courts not Congress, the Republicans number one complaint about the bill is that it costs too much. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a collection of some of the greatest economical minds in the country and they determined to be bill to cut the deficit by over $100 billion. Apparently for Republicans having an opinion supersedes having facts. I'm am putting Republicans on the watch list. Either the CBO knows what they are doing or they don't. You don't get to tout CBO stats when they support your position and ignore them when they don't.
I'm guessing soon Republicans will attempt to use the CBO as cover for a bill they like and complain about how Un-American the Democrats use of the filibuster is. And dumb Americans will back them at every turn.
