Proposal would increase competition

Oh ouch! Politically incorrect capitalism!
If these folks don't end up needing Universal Heath Care, the Facist left is doomed! Oh, the horror, the horror!

Heh heh heh. Strategery.

The Republicans are Democrats Lite. This is a perfect example. Instead of aboloshing horrible socialist programs he is proposing tinkering around the edges of them. In fact the prescription drug benefit is a major new entitlement that is going to be proposed and enacted by a our new Republican Majority. I feel so good about the work I did to get them there! Of course once it's up and running the Demmys can remove what ever paltry limitations prevent it from covering everyone in the USA. Look at how Medicare now covers the disabled, an ever growing class defined by the left in their Diagnostic Manual v. 5. to include kids who don't pay attention in class.

Has Jorge eliminated any programs yet? Will he? If we can't eliminate any programs and we need to spend more on defense because of 9/11 then maybe the Dems *ARE* the party of fiscal responsibility because at least they are willing to tax and tax and tax to cover all these wonderful socialist programs. Bush and the Rs seem to want to eat their cake and have it too.
