Back to the House We Go

156 words.

As fully expected by everyone, the Senate removed the defund-Obamacare provision and returned the budget bill to the House. Ted Cruz and his pointless 21-hour grandstanding (which was not a filibuster and never could have affected the outcome of the bill) did nothing, and I have to say that I’m rather glad that one guy in the Senate can’t realistically determine U.S. policy all by himself. What will happen now? How will House Republicans avoid shutting down the government without showing their constituents that they will cheerily cave on their allegedly deeply-held convictions? What kind of twisted logic will they make up to blame the Democrats for forcing them to vote yes on Obamacare? Will I ever take the time to study Obamacare to see for myself whether anything that politicians say about it is true? Probably a big no on that last one, because have you seen how dull the topic of healthcare law is?
