So the Republicans want to repeal the new health care law...

I don't get it. The Republicans are good at being against things but they never tell you what exactly they support. They tell you they are against government spending, but don't tell you what they would cut.

Now they want to repeal the new health care law even though the non-partisan CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says repeal would add $230 Billion to the deficit. They claim the CBO is using funny logic. When it suits them, they quote the CBO, but when it doesn't they pooh pooh it. In addition, they have no alternative except for the old system which was unworkable.

So now they want to waste tax payer dollars spending time trying to repeal health care when they know it won't be repealed in the Senate, and Obama would veto the repeal anyway. They need to spend time finding ways to balance the federal budget, paying down the debt, and creating conditions that favor job creation; and they need to do this in a way that it will pass both houses of congress and be signed by the president.
