Now It’s Time for Full Throttle Defund of Obamacare

The House plans to pass a bill to raise the debt limit by $117 billion, bringing the new deadline to November 22. The bill will specifically prohibit the Treasury Department from using extraordinary measures to concoct an arbitrary crisis deadline.

 

Now they have no excuse to ignore the Obamacare fight.

 

[Parenthetically, this delay should also preclude any effort to bring up amnesty this year.]

 

Once the debt ceiling is pushed into November, Republicans must all unite behind full defunding of Obamacare. No talk about taxes, Social Security, or Medicare.

Our message is very simple: this law was passed using the budget process to circumvent a higher vote threshold. Now that the law is proven to be unworkable, it will be uprooted through the budget process. We are willing to fund every other aspect of government, including those functions we oppose, except for Obamacare and the agencies tasked with enforcing it.

Its not a question of what (kill the damn thing), but of how. This may take some time.
