The 115th Congress Goes To Work. A group of republicans carry axes, shovels, sledge hammers, and gasoline to destroy Social Security, Medicare, the EPA, Medicaid, and Obamacare. However, they are about to trip on a rake labeled "Office Of Ethics." Republicans: Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go!

Have this feeling that republicans want to introduce a bill that will turn the citizens into indentured servants for the big corporations..

If they get their way, they’ll destroy the retirement plans of almost every American. If they were smart, they’d realize that a concertrated war on the poor and middle class is a time-tested way to start a socialist revolution.

The Republicans have said for years they wanted to shrink government down to the size they could drown it in the tub. They elected Trump to shake things up. They elect TEa party members who want to destroy the government. Well, here is your chance. The Republicans have complete control and can do with government what they will. Think they have the political power to do as they said? Or will they do what they always do and increase the size of government on the backs of the workers?

I read the first 4 posts and found no truth in any of them…..The 115th majority GOP Congress and President-elect Trump and VP-elect Pence want to recover our Constitutional government…… The pseudo-‘liberals’ have sabotaged our National Law and our Republican form of government.
.
Bad laws and unconstitutionally illegal “laws” by presidential pen or by bureaucrats or by abuse-of-power courts are worse than no laws at all, IMO.
.
Voters gave the GOP 306 electoral votes to recover the free market health care system and end federal agency mandates for every patient, medical provider and facility, while collecting intimate personal information by force of federal law, to be stored and used by government despots in the future administrations.
.
Christians also voted for restoration of religious liberty as guaranteed by the First Amendment of our Constitution!…The feds had no right to rule over churches and free speech and free expression in public of our Bible beliefs and convictions and our understanding of what is lawful and what is sinful and illegal in the eyes of our God…..Our standards of morality have been shredded and replaced by open public opportunity for all types of perverts of normal and natural gender status…..This organized campaign of perverts to demand acceptance and “respect” that is coerced by legal threats and punishments is probably the last stage before God destroys our nation, for His good reasons….that is why we voted and pray for God’s success with guiding our new leaders into doing the Biblically “right things”!

I don’t see why you people make such a big deal about Obamacare, it was nothing more than a change of insurance companies, from those who were unfriendly to Obama to those friendly to Obama. And the really bad part, they botched that too.

Corporate welfare adds quite a bit to the expenses of the government, and now the Republicans want to bring back pork, which also does. Trickle-down con artist Paul Ryan makes me want to vomit nearly as much as insane con artist Donald Trump does.

Last year my girls took AP Modern European History. A project they did for that class and their Engineering class was to build a working guillotine. I fear (hope) we might get a chance to use it on some trumpanzees.

Voters didn’t elect Trump, they went four other ways, three million first past the post more than for Trump. He was elected by a conspiracy of party hacks made legal by a self-appointed bunch of “elites” wanting veto over The People, over two and a quarter centuries ago.
