Clearly, the Entitlement Express might yet run off the track. Conservatives can derail this runaway expansion of the Great Society’s welfare state. Congress is setting itself up for a replay of the 1988 debacle over the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act.

Conservatives can't do squat. Every time we get elected, we get betrayed. I feel like an Israeli who voted for a series of Prime Ministers who campaigned on being tough with the PLO.

I don't think this can be defeated. GOP pollsters have decided this will help President Bush get reelected. So the White House is arm-twisting big time to get this passed.
If this is to be defeated, it will have to be done in committee. To do that, we need to push for two drug plans that are so opposite each other there is no way the differences can be reconciled in committee.

Why would anyone want to kill it? Passage of prescription drug coverage will seal another term for GWB.

Karl Rove telling balky conservatives that President Bush "needs" a prescription drug benefit to enhance his reelection prospects Just like Arafat will get a terror state inside Israel because Rove wants a White House Ceremony.
