Are the Democrats Really This Desperate?

For as long as they've existed, politicians have bent language to avoid saying things that sound unpleasant. Once upon a time, the players in the major league of Washington, D.C. politics at least told their versions of truth with eloquence and style. My, how things have changed!

With countless examples of the media ignoring news that might damage Democrats, it seems this practice has bred a sense of security among the party's leaders. They even appear emboldened by their media allies as they get closer than ever to something they've craved for decades: complete control of the health care industry. To wit, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her band of Pelosheviks are compelled to tell us that things are not what we know they are. Last week, Pelosi said with a straight face (I've been waiting to use that line) that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts next year will not be a tax increase, but rather the "eliminating a tax decrease that was there." This would be funny stuff if she were not in charge of our nation's fiscal health. Don't hold your breath waiting for that kind of health reform.

One of the more ignorant ideas floating about has been the idea that Congress should insert itself more than it has been into the issue of health care.

Instead of 200 million individuals making personal decisions that result in greater or lesser aggregate public expenditure, the proposed law oozing out of the House will try to route those decisions through the minds of a few hundred members of various directorates, and whatever they come up with will be bounced off the national budget.

That will happen every single year.

Obviously there's plenty of room for fraud in this new process ~ which is probably the intention of our more criminally minded Democrats ~ starting with Pelosi, Obama, and their closest associates.

Mark Twain (Sam Clemens) put it best..

"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."

Amazing how some things never change isn't it.
