In his latest column for the Washington Times, Milton Wolf points out that any workable plan to restore fiscal sanity to the country must include the repeal of ObamaCare (or, to use the Orwellian title preferred by its few remaining supporters, the “Affordable Care Act”):
Politicians are a curious breed. Their age-old solution to the problems created by their bad laws is always the same: more laws. Until we break this vicious cycle, we are destined to continue down our current downgraded-America path. The time to break that cycle is now, by keeping the focus on Obamacare until the 2012 election.
Even if the Supreme Court declares the individual mandate unconstitutional, that’s no substitute for full repeal in Congress:
ObamaCare will be the law of the land until we elect a president and a Congress that will end it. The Supreme Court very well may strike down the law first, but even so, a law this destructive deserves a wooden stake through its heart that only a political death delivers.
The Republican-controlled House has aleady passed a repeal bill, of course, but that effort was killed by Senate Democrats. The GOP should not give up so easily:
Republicans should again introduce an Obamacare repeal in the House. And again and again. Remind Americans that Obamacare is killing jobs today and threatening our nation’s solvency tomorrow. Make the Democrats defend it every day until the election.
And that will work if the GOP will grow a spine. ObamaCare is the least popular entitlement in history. And there’s more the GOP can do at the state level. To read the rest of Dr. Wolf’s column, click here.
