McMorris Rodgers the problem
Last week, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers voted for the 37th time to repeal Obamacare. Despite Obamacare having passed the House, the Senate, being signed by the president and found constitutional by a conservative U.S. Supreme Court, Cathy and her party continues to deny the will of the people.
This should come as no surprise to the citizens of our country since the belief of Cathy and her party is that government is the problem. So they show up for work every day to prove their point that government doesn’t work.
If you want to hire someone to help you build a house, why would you hire someone who at night tears down everything you have built during the day? This is what Cathy and her party are doing to us. To pay Cathy $170,000, plus benefits, health care and a healthy retirement package so she can tell us that our government is the problem, and then go to work just to prove her point seems like a bad deal for us.
It is increasingly apparent that our problem is not government. Rather, our problem is Cathy and her party and their hatred of the idea that government can solve problems and can benefit everyone, not just the few.
