The depressing thing is I believe Pinky kept the original House bill number on his bill so in their convoluted logic it actually ‘originated’ in the House.
Can anyone imagine the MSM hysteria if the GOP even attempted to resort to such parlimentarian ledgerdemain and cheating to pass a bill restructing 20% of the nation’s economy? They’d be run out of town.
The bias is disgraceful. The whole idea of reconciliation as a means to an end should have been taken off the table with Scott Brown’s election.
The MSM stinks, and if this monstrosity passes, I hope that their employers, in a cost-cutting move, dump them all in a public plan on day one. Idiots.
When Reagan and Bush wanted to sell their tax cuts, they took their case to the American people. By contrast, the Democratic majority has to hide the people’s representatives in Washington because they know the American people detest this legislation. This arrogance is absolutely without parallel in American history.
