Could the federal government get even bigger?
You better believe it.
The new U.S. House leadership has big plans for the next two years, including a push for Medicare for All. According to Fox News,
Expect to hear the words “free,” “guaranteed” and “for all” a whole lot more in the new year as Democrats prepare an arsenal of big-government bills that could actually see a floor vote once they take control of the House.
Come January, proposals like “Medicare for all” and a host of other generous-but-costly welfare programs that were little more than talking points in recent years could have a shot at passing a chamber of Congress.
“There are dozens of measures like this that have been languishing with Republicans at the helm for years, and I expect to see many of them finally come to the floor under Democratic leadership,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., told Fox News.
With the GOP’s expanded majority in the Senate, it’s unlikely these measures would make it to President Trump’s desk. But their consideration on the House side would mark a first step in formally considering major government expansions – concerning everything from education to health care – that Democrats increasingly favor. And with “Medicare for all” and similar proposals amounting to litmus tests for modern progressives, roll-call votes on any of these issues would reveal just how broad their support is.
The truth is, both parties are responsible for the massive growth of the federal government. Democrats and Republicans have pushed for more government programs, expanded federal jurisdiction, and more power over the everyday lives of the American people.
Let's take our country back from the bureaucrats and politicians. With an Article V Convention of States, the people and the states can restore our system of government to the Founders' vision.
A Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, mandate term limits for federal officials, and impose fiscal restraints on Congress.
With these amendments in place, the feds will once again be forced to operate within their constitutional box -- no matter which party is in charge.
