Let me get this straight... We now have a piece of legislation we cannot afford, originally less unaffordable by way of cuts to an otherwise overburdened healthcare entitlement program, but now being made even more unaffordable by cutting out the cuts that were in the original POS? And, we are doing this at the behest of the very folks who passed this crap? And, we are doing it without the legislative process, again?
OK. I think I’ve got it.
It sucks. And, we are still going to pay for it.
So they were going to cut a healthcare program to fund a healthcare program.
Anybody else want to jump down the rabbit hole with me?
DIMs/LIBs are subhuman insects who don’t appreciate the Rule of Law or the Constitution. They are for the LIB/DIM collective...that’s it. Freaks of nature, I’d say.
Let the party continue!
As long as the markets allow the govt to create 40% fake money, it feels good....
Can you imagine if Nixon had tried this?
Love your tagline!
Romney and the other Rep presidential wannabes all pointed this out in 2012. The majority of the American electorate are already down in that rabbit hole.
Thanks.
In Florida Advantage plans provide ALL the medical care for a senior for a year on this... operations, doctors, silver sneakers and usually a drug plan... No way they could do that on $1,200 per year.
That said, a hundred grand seems high. Too bad we don’t have a few newspapers in this country or a press that would cover something other than what dems feed ‘em.
Maybe Hannity?
Was Dubya able to simply say, "we're not gonna do that this year" with a law he didn't approve of?
I'm guessing not.
Have no fear, the GOPe will fix this. They’ll boldly tinker with it around the edges.
Has Congressional authority been usurped?
Si, El Guapo!
What’s the matter, Peggy Noonan. Do you no longer love the majic Negro?
Wow, just wow. Which laws are real laws?
The following stunning insight made me forget all the things I didn't like about Noonan.
"Pelosi's urgings inspired Democrats, who for the next three years would carry on like blithering idiots making believe they'd read the bill and understood its implications. They were later taken aback by complaints from their constituents. "
The White House, on the other hand, seems to have understood what the bill would do, and lied in a way so specific it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how.
"Keep your plan" of course was the president, misrepresenting the facts of his signature legislative effort. Your existing policy had to pass muster with the administration, which would fight to the death to ensure that 60-year-old women have pediatric dental coverage.
Yeah, those Dems complaining about the cuts are like Obama on an open mic with Medvedev, get back to them after the election when they have another six years to screw the people.
I don’t understand it Sub-Driver, anyone. Are they trying to get through just ONE MORE ELECTION before healthcare is utterly destroyed? Are they trying to make sure that they are still in their seats when the pitchforks come out? I just don’t get it.
