It's estimated Republicans have wasted 2 weeks trying to repeal Obamacare. Congress costs us $24 million/week?

I wholeheartedly agree with you that this 112th Republican Congress, including filibuster-fanatical Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the Senate who blocks everything no matter how good the bill would be for this nation's workers or its economic recovery, is appallingly inept to the point where they have been voted as the "LEAST PRODUCTIVE Congress since Herbert Hoover the Great Depression days" (C-SPAN News and LA Times). I suggest readers use the opensecrets.org and littlesis.org websites sponsored by the Sunlight Foundation to follow reform-resisting insurance lobbyists' donations to the individual GOPers (bribes) to push ongoing efforts to repeal the growing-popular Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or its supplemental Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA). And why block everything, absolutely EVERYTHING put forth by President Obama?

This has to be founded upon blatant prejudice, because the Obama policies work---they have REVERSED the GOP damages and have put us on a very sound path towards safety, strength, and long-term prosperity. I say the hidden-agenda THEOCRATIC-COUP-seeking right-wing religious-extremist fundamentalists in control of the Republican party and the T-Pers are ruthless in their efforts to denigrate, obstruct, cheat---all for the sake of power-grubbing in order to push their psycho-pseudo version of "christian" fundamentalism. VOTE THEM OUT and get us some Moderates, please!

And RE-ELECT our hard-working highly intelligent incredibly patient President Obama in order to keep our slow-but-steady recovery growing.

Do some further research, "Congressional Research Service" was named so that the reader would think of the, "Congressional Budget Office". Not quite the same. The CBO is non-partisan.

The CRS takes its marching orders from the political left. Regardless of the amount of research you put into this, you will not be able to find out how the fifty-million dollar figure was computed. Possibly by a formula which utilized the phases of the moon.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
