Well they've done it again. We will be treated to what AP Correspondent David Espo calls a "bruising debate" on Saturday night about healthcare. Southerners have not been helpful. Or rather, they've been very very helpful to Democrats. Mary Landrieu from Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln from Arkansas have helped Democrats reach their magical number 60 to advance legislation to full debate on the Senate floor. Here's the AP report -- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_overhaul
Folks, this bill will affect ONE-SIXTH of our entire economy. Government regulation never ever ever goes away. Once passed, this will be nearly impossible to repeal. And it will lead to rationing. It will lead to less innovation. And it will be very, very expensive.
From the article:
"Move over, Bernie Madoff. Tip your hat to a trillion-dollar scam," said Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., likening the bill's supporters to the imprisoned investor who fleeced millions.
Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., said Reid had delayed implementation of many of the bill's key provisions and made it look less costly as a result. He put the true price tag at $2.5 trillion over a decade once implemented.
And who will pay for this? You. Me. Taxpayers...Suckers.
