Letter: Wasted effort

To the editor:

I have a question for Lynn Jenkins and her colleagues in the U.S. House. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is one of the definitions of insanity. Almost 40 times, you and other Republican die-hards have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) knowing full well it has no chance in the Senate and would be vetoed by the president before it touched his desk. Why are you doing this, instead of trying to find a way to help the middle class, trying to slow down global warming or finding jobs for millions of struggling Americans? Are you so blinded by your hatred of the president you cannot see that the country has problems or do you just not care?
