All Talk No Action

"Time to replace Paul Ryan as House Speaker"
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/03/time_to_replace_paul_ryan_as_house_speaker.html

From 2009 till now the Republican's have been saying that they would repeal Obamacare, but this is yet to happen. Paul Ryan, the speaker of the house, is being held accountable for this failure. Paul didn't believe Trump was going to win the presidential election so he wasn't quiet ready to go forward  with a plan to take away Obamacare. Ryan made a plan to repeal Obamacare but it didn't really have any input from other conservative which was a problem. The "block in the road" to the plan was a group of 15 republicans who refused to vote for the plan. This plan needed all factions to agree and Pau Ryan failed to listen to all of the factions. This failure weakens Trump and gives the democrats another reason to dislike Trump. Since Ryan and the rest of the House Republican Leadership couldn't seem to get this job done Trump had to step in. He tried to get both sides to agree but he failed to do so. The Republicans need to get more serious about getting rid of Obama care and actually get it done. This failure will cause more problems in the future is it isn't resolved.  Hopefully Pauly Ryan will get the job done. 

In AP Gov we just got through talking about supreme court justices and the rule of four. The rule of four is when 4 out of 9 of the justices can grant a writ of Certiorari. This seems fairly easy to achieve.  This relates to my article because Paul Ryan's job was not only to get 4 people but 15 people to agree on a plan. He failed this task. Some people are starting to think he isn't very fit for his job if he can't complete this simple task of getting 15 people to agree on a plan. Maybe if the Rule of Four applied to Paul Ryan's task he wouldn't have failed. 

After reading this article I have a better understanding on why the removal of Obama care is taking so long. I think Paul Ryan really needs to get something done to finish up this process since the removal of Obamacare has been talked about for so long.
