Live. Are we going to end up in ohmless shelters homeless shelters . As far as obamacare goes, i understand it was a law passed, and i understand and i stand behind that. However, i do not like the fact that the president can change things at will. Were so worried about what the republicans want to do, its obama who made the first move. Hes the one that started giving all these exemptions. If thats good enough for me, why is it not good enough for them . If we had the british system, we would dissolve congress as they would dissolve parliament or some entity that theyre got getting the dollars. My greatest concern is theres no discussion of ways to increase revenue into the federal government. In all my years of balancing a budget, ive always had to look at increasing work time, working overtime, getting a second job.

Any member of the house would hre been in order to ask for floor. E put on the we will discuss that at greater length. The American People want the government opened. They want us to talk.
