Thank you for the ping. Sure makes it easier to get on the thread.
One small thing not being mentioned is whether or not president zero will veto any bill that does not include the provisions he’s touting to everyone. He’s talking a good game but that does not mean the final bill will include what zero claims it will do. Since he does not know what’s really in any of the health care bills, I do believe he will sign whatever is put in front of him and make excuses for the things that are worst in it.
Morning Morgan,hope your weather is better than ours this time of year.
You are of course correct about the Joker. He will sign anything put on his table. Knowing that whatever is left out can be put back in during their midnight legislation sessions.
The game remains tanking the economy and Free Market Capitalism replacing it with the worst form of cradle to grave statism/communism available.

All the amendments, contents, bloviating, claiming something IS in the bill, claiming something is NOT in the bill, etc., is meaningless rhetoric at this point.
The real issue will be the compromise version and what it does and does not contain.
Dems have already sort of let Pubbies pack the House version with amendments, because Dem leaders expect those Pubbie amendments to be removed from the compromise version.
The compromise bill is the one both chambers will try to push through rapidly, in the wee dark morning hours, before it can be read by the public.
Watch for Reid and Pelosi to pull various tricks:
packing new amendments at the last moment, before the opposition and public have time to read them,
voting on a dummy document with blank pages to be filled in later, or
voting on a representative old version with a trust us content substitution to be done at a later date -- when it gets written.
Watch for the compromise version and the ensuing tricks to get it passed. The compromise version is the one that counts.
