WHY NOTHING GETS DONE!
House Floor Activities Legislative Day of May 17, 2013
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
a different result.
HOUSE RULE: If at first you fail!
Keep on Failing!
House Speaker John Boehner promised that he would stop
time-wasting on holding another doomed vote on “Obamacare.”
HOWEVER!
He said.
“We’ve got 70 new members who have not had an
opportunity to vote on the president’s health-care law,” he explained.
“Frankly, they’ve been asking for an opportunity to vote on it.”
New members return to their districts have to explain
why they’re wasting taxpayer money on a purely symbolic and meaningless vote.
The House Republican leader has them in Washington
only 122 days this year.
The CBO’s last estimate of the budget impact of
repeal, in 2012, was that it would increase the deficit by $109 billion.
Democrats have had great fun repeating Einstein’s
definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
a different result.
