Repeal Replace ObamaCare 50+ attempts cost $75 MILLION Wasted GOP Talking Points $1.5 Million Each

Repeal, Replace or De-fund ObamaCare 50+ attempts cost $75 MILLION Wasted GOP Talking Points $1.5 Million Each

So according to CBS, the grand total, with 50 attempts to repeal, is now at $75 million of your dollars completely wasted over nothing...   We still have Obamacare. The money was spent.  It was therefore spent on nothing and Republicans in the House, are the ones solely responsible. Someone needs to be accountable for spending this money when they knew very well it was wasted and repeal could go no further....

(Yeah, it's 50. Hard to believe we've gotten so jaded we let that number brush past us without being outraged, but seeing it in the fashion above, really makes me angry. Try reading it out loud in full and imagining $1.5 million each time you read it)
So when you legitimately complain that nothing is getting done to help you the public citizen, consider this:  what $75 million would otherwise buy....

The house was there anyway. Was there any actual cash spent on the votes?
