35 by my count. Maybe you can add to the list. Not satisfied that
there are thousands of varieties of teas they can throw overboard, they
have voiced at least 35 issues they want the President to “have a
conversation” about to end the shutdown and/or the debt ceiling crisis.
Here they are: Repeal O-care, defer O-care, end the O-care individual
mandate, delay O-care, mitigate O-care damage, repeal the medical
device tax, reduce government spending, no new taxes, cut federal
benefits (except their own), cut the deficit, fund FEMA, fund the
National Weather Service, fund Head Start, back pay for furloughed
Federal employees, fund veterans benefits, fund the National Parks, fund
D.C., fund the military, fund air traffic controllers, “get something
out of this”, meet on a budget, create a conference committee, create a
committee of twenty, approve the Keystone pipeline, fund military death
benefits, reform the tax code, energy regulatory reform, a one year
debt limit waiver, block net neutrality, end Dodd-Frank, means testing
for Medicare, tort reform, repeal the public health trust fund, end coal
ash regulations, end EPA carbon regulations, end Social Security block
grants…..I’m sure more have been raised since I started typing this
list.
In sum total, replace the Democratic Party/Obama agenda which won by a
margin of 5 million votes with the failed Romney campaign platform.
