Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) made some waves last week when he likened the GOP healthcare bill to a “lump of coal” as he complained that the proposed Obamacare replacement would be the largest Republican welfare bill in history.

Appearing today on CNN, Brooks again hammered the plan for not being conservative enough and worsening the financial condition of the the country by adding another welfare program that hurts the solvency of the nation and bring it closer to bankruptcy.

When asked by host John Berman if he was concerned about the possibility of millions of Americans based on the recent CBO report, the Alabama lawmaker said he was but then cited freedom and liberty.

“Well, sure, Brooks said. “I would like to see people voluntarily purchase health insurance in order to minimize their risk of a significant loss because of illness. But this is America. We believe in liberty and freedom. If you’re going to believe in liberty and freedom than you cannot with a heavy boot of the federal government force people to purchase insurance.”

1. Gee

all of the other couuntries in the Western hemisphere that provide universal/single payer health care to their citizens also believe in liberty and freedom.

I think Rep. Brooks needs to get out of Alabama once in awhile to see how the real world actually works.

2. Deport?

Trump does not want to deport illegals quickly and efficiently.

Trump wants to warehouse them for two or three on the taxpayer dime for the benefit of himself and the prison industry.

Why do you think that prison industry stock shot up when Trump was elected.
