Rsvp To An Invitation From Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon, the White House Chief Strategist together with nationalist lightening-rod extraordinaire, has made his public speaking debut at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) a duet of weeks ago. I’ll larn out the dissection of his remarks to people who larn paid millions of dollars to spin things, but at the rattling cease of the interview, Mr. Bannon invited the audience, together with past times extension the American people, to assist the Trump direction inward a rattling peculiar way: “We desire you lot to conduct maintain our back... but also together with to a greater extent than importantly, handgrip us accountable. Hold us accountable to what nosotros promised. Hold us accountable for delivering on what nosotros promised”. Well, Mr. Bannon, hither is my RSVP to your most gracious invitation.

I would similar to handgrip you lot accountable for the way you lot are handling, or rather mishandling, the fighting about Obamacare, together with wellness attention inward general. As far equally I tin flame tell, together with past times your ain admission, your undertaking Mr. Bannon is to implement the President’s agenda equally presented to the American people for consideration during his campaign. I conduct maintain watched only about 90% of candidate Trump’s rallies, all the debates together with all the interviews, because equally a haemorrhage pump liberal, I had to hold out sure I knew just what I was voting for. What he promised, what you lot all promised, was to protect Medicare, Medicaid together with Social Security together with you lot made it crystal clear that Mr. Trump was the exclusively candidate (excluding the defeated Bernie Sanders) to commit to this trifecta of righteousness. I would similar to handgrip you lot accountable for delivering on this hope inward its entirety.

Yes, Mr. Trump promised to “repeal together with supervene upon the disaster known equally Obamacare” multiple times to standing ovations, together with yes, he spoke loosely close selling insurance across terra firma lines together with wellness saving accounts together with having all sorts of choices. In rally later rally, the President explained over together with over i time again what he thought was incorrect amongst Obamacare: the premiums going through the roof, particularly that blessed 116% inward Arizona, the high deductibles that larn inward impossible for people to run into a MD unless they are hitting past times a truck or are close decease (whichever comes first, I guess). But most of all he spoke close “something terrific” that volition supervene upon the “failing Obamacare” together with to a greater extent than latterly President Trump promised wellness insurance for all Americans including those who cannot pay for it. I would similar to handgrip you lot accountable for this terificness inward all its promised glory.

My inclination is to say that together with hence far your squad has non delved into the intricacies of wellness attention reform. If you lot would have, i or some other incendiary slice of newspaper would conduct maintain leaked to The New York Times past times now. I larn that dealing amongst insurance is non equally philosophically elevating equally dealing amongst civilisation wars together with other grand historical trends, but dorsum inward the trailers of the Appalachian Mountains, together with inward the pocket-sized homes of rust belt workers who lost their jobs to the globalized economy, together with at every kitchen tabular array inward the America where decisions are all the same made at kitchen tables, wellness insurance is a life together with decease problem. President Trump promised to hold out the vocalisation of these forgotten people. He promised to verbalize for them, fighting for them together with win for them. Of all the promises you lot made, this is the i hope I volition handgrip you lot most accountable for.

The other 24-hour interval the novel GOP “secret plan” to repeal together with supervene upon Obamacare has been in conclusion unveiled inward two split pieces. We conduct maintain seen Obamacare replacement plans from the political party of Ayn Rand long earlier this election, together with hence I volition non handgrip you lot accountable for the childishly vindictive Ryan “plan”, or the to a greater extent than comprehensive cruelty of Dr. Price’s “bill”, together with I know that this “new” abomination, which is a clumsy cross betwixt the two, is non your plan, Mr. Bannon. For all I know this may hold out a bright strategy to eschew the responsibleness of fixing Obamacare, because this novel excogitation is non probable to clear the House together with it for certain won’t larn through the Senate, but inward the unlikely lawsuit that it does, I volition handgrip you lot accountable if this practise inward boldfaced deceit ever becomes law.

The “experts” volition hold out delving into all the gory details, but delight permit me to cutting through the chase. The GOP excogitation is a perfidious conservative concoction. The GOP excogitation is killing Medicaid together with Medicare. The GOP excogitation is reducing premium back upward for most people without employer or authorities supplied wellness insurance. The GOP excogitation is increasing exposure to those awful high deductibles for millions of additional people, poorer older together with sicker than before.  And finally, the GOP excogitation is cutting taxes for wealthy people together with corporations. Is this your thought of how nosotros set America First, Mr. Bannon? Is this President Trump’s thought of how nosotros Make America Great Again? It never occurred to me to ask, sir, but what produce you lot guys hateful when you lot say “America”? I cannot manifestly handgrip you lot accountable for the answer, but history together with whichever God you lot pray to, eventually will.

I produce concord amongst you lot Mr. Bannon on the nefarious effects of a globalized economic scheme together with the feckless purpose played past times a “globalist, corporatist media” machine, together with I conduct maintain your dorsum inward this fighting for the mortal of America together with the dignity of the American worker. I am sure you lot tin flame appreciate how hard it is for a liberal to brand such statements amidst the frothing together with frenzied neo-McCarthyism upon us now. The exclusively remaining question, Mr. Bannon, is whether you lot conduct maintain our backs. I conduct maintain non seen President Trump shrink from a fighting before, together with whether you lot similar it or not, wellness care, non Russia, volition hold out the defining number of his presidency. As conservative corporatism is fusing amongst progressive globalism, combining the worst of both worlds into a formidable strength against the people, I volition handgrip you lot accountable for failing to side amongst the irredeemably sad masses that set you lot inward the White House inward the showtime place.

President Trump needs to stand upward up together with clearly terra firma that he volition non sign a pecker that takes away whatsoever footling wellness attention poor, sick together with depression income people all the same have. These people are us, Mr. Bannon. They are the #TrumpTrain, the Movement, the Bikers for Trump, the Latinas for Trump, the “build that wall” together with “lock her up” chanters, together with the ones who took you lot upward on your offer, because “what the hell produce they conduct maintain to lose”. They didn’t come upward “pouring in” to demand less wellness attention for themselves together with hence there’s to a greater extent than cash available for the “administrative government”. These people may non know much close the abject fine art of politicking, but they conduct maintain vast expertise inward getting screwed. They know it when they run into it. And they are seeing it now, Mr. Bannon. They are seeing it now.

It would hold out most unfortunate, together with the cease of the route for me, if the showtime legislation enacted past times this direction is i where i time once again men inward fancy suits forget those who conduct maintain ever been forgotten, inward stark contradiction to explicit promises made repeatedly, both earlier together with later the elections. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 authorities of, past times together with for the people, some other often made promise, does non enact immoral legislation, together with the GOP excogitation to repeal together with supervene upon Obamacare is beyond immoral. Your boss, Mr. Bannon, is the President of the United States of America. He is the President of the American people, fifty-fifty the poor ones, particularly the poor ones. He has the ability together with the duty to veto immoral legislation, together with nosotros the people volition handgrip President Trump accountable for that.
