A long shot, but it passed my mind that this is just a huge money grab. Four years of higher taxes while the courts grind through challenges and determine that it really IS unconstitutional and there's no actual program to fund when the time rolls around.
It’s not JUST a money grab. But it is a money grab. They will use healthcare as an excuse to increase taxes, and then they will spend the additional money on something else, but they will still implement socialized medicine. The worst of all worlds.
But the truth is that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, even from here. What this means is that when Uncle Sam is on his fiscal deathbed, there will be no way to increase taxes to bail him out because they will have already done that. What it means is that Uncle Sam is ultimately doomed, but that’s not such a bad thing.
I would almost guarantee it. China is not buying our debt. The government needs cash, and fast. The democrats want the system to collapse, but they need a little time to get some other legislation in place first. The health care money grab gives them some leeway.
