There is very little in life more frustrating than running head on into an obstruction while attempting to achieve an important goal. Obstructions can be caused by many factors such weather, construction and economy. The obstruction we are facing today is our congress and is being perpetrated by the leadership of the dishonorable reprobate, Chuck Schumer. He is leading the democrat party into a treacherous area that can lead to their very self destruction as a party or united force. The proper name for this group is the Obstructionist party and would consist of present day Democrats, Republicans and Liberals.

The health care debacle now occupying valuable time is being shut down by obstruction activities by both democrats and republicans. This is the issue they say they are focused on but the underlying motive is to cause the complete ruin and collapse of the Trump administration regardless of the affect it has on the country. The public voiced their desires concerning health care yet these same politicians ignore their constituents and act completely in reverse of those desires. Until the removal of Mitch McConnell as the majority leader of the congress, nothing positive will occur.

The single largest obstruction that should not be there are the ones that call themselves republicans but are in fact tax and spend liberals. Senators that voted to repeal Obamacare just eighteen months ago now state they will oppose such a bill. What changed their minds? The whole health care debate is useless. If our representatives have read and studied the Constitution, they know there is no mandate for the government to provide health care to the masses. This is simply a ploy to garner more votes for the entitlement supporters and liberal left.

The economy has performed exceptionally well since Mr. Trump was elected. The only way for our country to keep moving forward is to have government perform and do something worthwhile. If only the congress could come together long enough to act on tax reform we can see the economy and stock market improve. Economic activity and the stock market react on faith as much as any other factor. Lowering corporate taxes and overhauling the extravagant personal tax structure, which was a promise, will yield untold rewards.

Mr. Trump made promises while campaigning for the office of president. These promises were what the Trump voting base wanted and still fight to achieve. Many members of congress rode the coattails of Mr. Trump to get reelected and promised the same things. Alzheimer’s has evidently taken over congress. They no longer remember these vows and seem to have no desire to fulfill their campaign rhetoric. These people are our voice and representation. When they no longer feel they should act in our best interest, they need to go.

If you claim to be a republican, you should be conservative. If in fact you are not, quit lying and publicly change your party affiliation. A rino is an undependable elected republican congressman that has no character or loyalty to anyone except himself, hence the acronym for Republican in Name Only. Vote them out.
The liberal feed trough of ever increasing entitlements will eventually cause the destruction of government and subsequently our country.

Congress, wake up. We gave you control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Oval Office, as you asked. Now do something with this power or hurry up and come up with a new damn good excuse for your failures.

I may be wrong, but I’m still right.
