Tomorrow's affair may be the last straw
In Michigan such constitutional stalwarts as Dan Benishek, Dave Camp and a number of other Republicans pledged to remove funding, and doom the takeover of medicine from the lack of operability as a means of last resort if turning over the legislation directly proved impossible. Dave Camp for his part said so in front of 50+ in the summer of 2010, a fact that could be verified by any of them, and a current staffer of Benishek's who worked for the Ways and Means chair at that time as well. No measure has been discussed from those who in 2010 promised us repeal in SOME form. No line crossed has triggered an absolute response from the Republican controlled congress. In fact, NOTHING but excuses have been the standard talking points as we watched this president make a mockery of the message these men were sent to deliver. And now we must worry about whether 7 or 8 Republicans in the Michigan State Senate will vote for Our state's capitulation to this unacceptable overreach into our most personal health choices? If the lesson of millions of conservatives who sat on their hands in the 2012 presidential contest is ignored, We are in trouble. If MI Senate Republicans throw away their principles when there is such an opportunity for push-back, there will be little reason to bother with them later.
Not a threat. Just reporting the truth. (1 comment) Comments >> By JenKuznicki, Section News
April 29, 2009 was the last time the fickle Debbie Stabenow took part in her constitutional duty to pass a budget. Since then, the Democrat led Senate has used continuing resolutions, and omnibus spending bills to spend money we borrow from China.
But if you ask Debbie why she hasn't demanded a budget, she'll tell you that the magical modern Democrat Senate has passed a bigger, better, more than sufficient super budget called the Budget Control Act in 2011. (8 comments, 368 words in story) Full Story |
