Sooner or later a prescription-drug benefit was absolutely inevitable.

Better for you yourself rather than the other guy to get the credit, and better for to have control over the final product.

The wingnut ideologues who are ragging on Dubya are part of the death-before-electability crowd.

Who would of thunk it people on free republic quoting and supporting Molly Ivins view of the world. We are closer to hell than I thought.

"Sooner or later a prescription-drug benefit was absolutely inevitable."

Agree. How many election years has Medicare reform been promised in order to get the votes of seniors and then never delivered?

IMO it's too big and the language is too vague in spots because the language hasn't been ironed out and I keep wondering just what deals were cut to get the votes of the likes of Judas Jeffords. It needs serious trimming, and if ever there was an excuse to viciously ax unecessary programs and cut government employees, this bill is it.

On the other hand, I'm not entirely against it. There's a $3,600 deductible before the prescription even kicks in, and it does make provision for partial privatization. Privatization is what's needed. Social Security privatization too. The fact that Teddy Kennedy and Tommy Daschle were railing against it it another point in it's favor.

Very true, and you can tell who they are. They are the ones who cut off their nose to spite their face.
