Donald Trump should let Obamacare descend into madness

Note to Donald Trump: Do nothing in regard to health care. That’s right, do nothing.

The Democratic Party, after gaining a false mandate from the public, unleashed a stinking mess of a health-care bill on the American people. The Republican Party, after seven years of promises to repeal, reneged on their pledge. Now comes the inevitable.

Republicans, bowing down to pressure from non-taxpayers to continue the gravy train by keeping the Medicaid expansion and/or massive subsidies, will end up voting with Democrats to provide a bailout for this failure. And who will pay? The taxpayers, of course, with continuous major increases in health-care costs along with wage stagnation due to employers having to foot higher employee costs.

Unless … Donald Trump does the right thing and vetoes any spending bill that props up Obamacare. Let it descend into madness. Let Republican senators who had a chance to save us explain why they failed. Have these fake conservatives explain how they decried the massive expansion of Medicaid as “unsustainable” seven years ago — and voted to protect it now.

And as voters, let’s start weeding out the gutless lawmakers who lie to us with their words and cover their “you-know-what” with their actions.

Here in Nevada, let’s make Sen. Dean Heller the first on the list to face the music. It is time for this faux Republican to go.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
