Orrin Hatch Wants To Leave The Senate?
In today’s Senate Finance Committee debate on health care reform legislation, Senator Orrin Hatch sought to reduce his objections to health care reform to a single fundamental point: The federal government in Washington D.C. is incompetent.
Senator Hatch said, “The point here is simple: Washington is not the answer. Anybody who believes that just hasn’t lived in the last 50 years.”
Orrin Hatch certainly has lived in the last 50 years. In fact, he’s lived most of those 50 years working as an official in the federal government, in Congress, in Washington, D.C.
If Senator Hatch really believes that Washington is not the answer, then why has he spent so much time working there, pushing through his agenda for what the federal government should do to solve America’s problems? If Hatch really means what he says, then it’s time for him to resign, and go back to Utah.
Does Senator Hatch not want to leave Washington D.C.? That’s his right, but if he’s going to stay in the United States Senate, Hatch ought to admit that Washington D.C. is the heart of any serious answer for reform in the USA.
