Hawaii voters need to wake up
In an article regarding the candidates for governor and their feelings about the health exchange n the Sept. 24 edition of West Hawaii Today, both Democrats admit the exchange was a mistake and isn’t working — a “deal” that was promoted by Hawaii’s Democrats when they sold their votes to force the Affordable Care Act down the throats of Americans.
In the days, weeks and months after the ACA passed, U.S. Sens. Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye and Rep. Mazie Hirono bragged about the fact that a special deal was made to allow Hawaii to pretty much “go about business as usual” when it came to health care. More than $100 million in taxpayer dollars later and we are still having problems with the “connector” — all thanks to the Democrats who sold out millions of people across the country.
Democrats have controlled Hawaii politics for 60 years. We were recently told that we have the worst roads in America, we are the worst place to work in America and our taxes are harder on the poor than those of us who make a decent living. All this and the people of Hawaii keep electing the same corrupt legislators who worry more about their political career than the people they are hired to serve.
Isn’t it time for Hawaii and its voters to wake up?
