Government should NOT be involved in healthcare just as it should not be involved in any other non-Constitutionally mandated area. That said, Heritage's analysis of the 2013 Federal spending showed that only 19 percent of that spending went to that area - national defense. You can see that here: http://www.heritage.org/research/reports....

That's part of the reason I shrugged.

Agreed. As a Tea Partier, I left the Neo-Whigs before there was a Tea Party. My local US congressman regularly comes to Tea Party events, but other than him, there has been no one at the national or State of Florida level that I stomach enough to vote for that I could vote for.

And I say %60 - %80 of Republicans, i.e. the Republicans of convenience, i.e. the Tea Party, are likely not to stay.

Welcome to your new name, GOP, The Neo-Whigs.

You so, so, so, richly deserve it.

We have to restart somewhere.

The GOP-E will not let go willingly?
Then I shrug.

Unfortunately this will leave us with "the other guys" who have proven themselves to be disingenuous to the point of ignoring the rule of law, and to the point of trampling on the honest hard-working Americans in order to get their way. And their way does not end well for we the people.
