ACA nightmare ends, GOP soon to begin

Paul Ryan isn't as smug as he was two weeks ago. With the bad end to his "unaffordable I don't care" act, he is bit subdued.

The budget people claim that 34 million people will become disenfranchised under his big idea and they happen to be the vulnerable in our society. Now, I know a lot of Republicans who care greatly for the unfortunate and donate time and money to help them. But the GOP itself is as uncaring as you can get. It seems that the GOP has never heard of Christian Socialism.

These ideas existed even before Jesus and is spoken of in the Old Testament concerning the care of the sick, hungry and homeless, widows and children. It is demanded of all the major religions but it is especially important today. Some claim that the United States is a Christian Nation so why are Republicans so contrary to this notion. With them the Party only believes in "YOYO" (You're on your own). Like my Republican Dad used to say, "I got mine, I'll keep mine. You get yours and you keep yours."

Obamacare is a good idea with some problems, and it should be fixed. It looks as if Ryan Care is the best that the Republicans can come up with, it isn't even better than nothing. As they say, "the Obamacare nightmare is over" and the Republican nightmare is about to begin.

The president can't make up his mind as who is to blame, it is certainly not him, it never is. But he will make his way down the list to Hillary and if all else fails, it is always "Obama's fault."
