The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

       The house of Representatives has passed a health plan bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, The Good. The Democrats are secretly elated because they think it means they will win the mid-term elections, The Bad. The new health plan bill has been read by almost nobody, and the really scary part is that nobody knows how much it might cost America, The Ugly.
       The one point that has been made abundantly clear about this bill is that there will be a huge tax savings for the 0.1% of Americans that least need it. Of course the bill means nothing since it must now go to a Senate that will not pass it into law as it now stands. That's how our government was meant to work.
The problem isn't that our government is working as designed, the problem is that the two branches of the legislature don't have the slightest idea of how to communicate with each other. Heck, they don't even know how to communicate with their own people, never mind any other branch of government.
       Why is it that no Democrats will honestly work with any Republicans to develop a healthcare plan that will work for all Americans? Why will no Republicans allow any Democrats to have input into any plan they devise? Why are both parties celebrating what is not an accomplishment at all?
       The answer to all of the above questions is that there is nobody in Congress who is grown up enough to represent we the people. Yet we continue to elect these mental midgets. Might the real problem within this country be the fact that we don't deserve any better? At least not until we stop and think about our actions at the polls.
