The GOP brain trust.

The GOP brain trust.

Now conservative Republicans say they're prepared to use the same tool to repeal as much of the law as they can if they control both chambers in 2013 -- despite decrying the process itself in practically the same breath. "Beyond...the reconciliation component of this, they used every legislative shenanigan that I have ever seen to get this implemented," King also said. Republicans have used reconciliation many times over the years—perhaps most famously when they passed the Bush tax cuts in 2001. Indeed, it's because reconciliation rules require legislation to be deficit neutral or better over the 10 year budget window that the Bush tax cuts were set to expire at the end of last year.[...] "People say well, you don't like [26 year olds] being able to stay on their families' health insurance policy?" asked Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA). "No I'm not opposed to that. But you know what, if we would create a few jobs in the country, they would be out working and have a good income and a good health benefit package from their employer. So you know, we start with the right thing."

Remember the process used to pass the Affordable Care Act, the procedure known as "reconciliation" that Republicans screamed to high heaven about? Guess what Republicans are planning to use to repeal the ACA, should they get the majority in the Senate next year:

Of course they're going to be hypocritical on this. They're hypocritical on everything. And if they do get both chambers of Congress, it's going to destroy everything Obama has done, along with furthering the war on women, war on workers and war on the 21st century. Get used to this rotten economy, because they sure as hell won't do anything about it.

Speaking of which, yeah, Gingrey. Jobs. Why don't you do something about that?
