Okay. You Win. Now What?

John Boehner

Dear John:

I cannot turn off my thoughts. God knows I want to. I need to just accept what’s happened and let it go. The people have spoken, whoever the hell they are. Their newly elected officials are gleefully calling for a swift undoing of, not just Obamacare, but of Obama himself. Job One? Make sure Obama isn’t re-elected.

Okay. I get it. You hate the guy, or you hate the guy’s *policies,* as you euphemistically insist. So go ahead, take him out, take him down, and take him to school. Wipe out the Healthcare Reform Act, reinstate the tax cuts for the rich – in fact, go ahead and make them permanent; and don’t forget to put a stop to any and all further unemployment benefits.

Let the banks continue to call all the shots so that nobody can get a small business loan, nobody can get a mortgage loan, and nobody can get a mortgage loan modification.

Make sure Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is left in place, stop the talk about legal gay marriages once and for all, increase funding for the war in Afghanistan for another 10 years, and outlaw abortion for any woman, for any reason, at any time.

Here’s the thing. Not one of you, as far as I know, has ever addressed the aftermath of your happy exercises in “taking your country back.” So, if you have the time; if you can go off your Party-scripted diatribes against President Obama for just a minute, I would appreciate some answers to the following:

I'd also like to know how he expects the states to deal with the increased unemployment that is going to result when states are no longer getting federal subsidies and the states are forced to cut services and lay off workers to balance their budgets?
