Six Steps to Fix Obama Care

By Bob Giuda, on Apr 6, 2010

With the passage of Obama-care, many Americans feel as if government has slapped us in the face. And that's probably putting it mildly. Predictably, many are calling for a repeal effort after the coming November elections. While speaking about "repeal" makes people feel better, it will not happen. Here's why:

There are not enough Democrat seats up for election in the US Senate to establish a veto-proof majority; conservatives need to capture 27 seats for a veto-proof Senate, and only 15 are up for election this fall.

Repealing ObamaCare – a Flight of Fancy

By Bob Giuda, on Mar 24, 2010

Some federal candidates are appealing to the sweeping populism and public anger resulting from the passage of ObamaCare with pledges to “Repeal the bill!” if elected. While such “chest thumping” sounds impressive and feels good, the simple fact is that repealing ObamaCare is not going to happen. Here’s why:

Repealing ObamaCare will bring a swift Presidential veto. Over-riding that veto will require a 2/3 of both the U.S. House and Senate. Public outrage or no, while it is possible to regain a simple majority of the Senate, it is statistically impossible to gain the 2/3 needed to override an Obama veto.

Reactionary battle cries like “Repeal!” sound and feel good But they will not produce a legislative outcome. Given the enormity of the Constitutional and economic danger in which our nation finds itself, this is a time for careful legislative action to deliver the outcomes we must achieve.

The Undoing of a Nation

By Bob Giuda, on Mar 17, 2010

Our Founding Fathers gave us a brilliant system of government that requires three things: personal responsibility, individual liberty, and economic freedom. Over the course of the past 100 years, we have witnessed a dangerous erosion of these critical elements.

Erosion of personal responsibility comes in the form of entitlements and apathy. Entitlements foster dependency on government, toxic to the human spirit. Who can be free when their sustenance depends on the government? And apathy has disconnected the majority of Americans from self-governance, allowing special interests to control both the political agenda and the political process for decades.

First Lady Gale Thomson Remembered...

By Bob Giuda, on Mar 10, 2010

I join the thousands of citizens in New Hampshire in expressing condolences to the Thomson family at the loss of their Mother and our former First Lady, Gale Thomson. Truly a gracious lady, she touched the lives of many of us who visited both as friends and supporters. She epitomized what is right about the world of politics, and will be greatly missed. Godspeed, to a dear and wonderful Mother and patriot.
