Both parties are in corporate pockets. The reason we’re going bankrupt is because we do everything half-azzed. One party passes Medicare Part D unfunded, the next has the biggest majority in decades and can’t figure out how to pass real reform. The biggest winner in this “reform” are the anti-trust exempt insurance corporations with 30 million more enrollees paying no competition rates.

Here’s what status quo is getting us:
LA Times- “But brokers who sell these policies say they are fielding numerous calls from customers incensed over premium increases of 30% to 39%, saying they come on the heels of similar jumps last year.”

I wonder if Reaid feels like his wife’s accident happening now was a blessing in disguise, cause he has to know that had we been under the rule of the new health care plan, she would have gotten a pain pill and a slow death.

We CANNOT rely on repeal. No way will we ever be able to step this monstrosity back once it is in place. And if anyone thinks we can rely on SCOTUS, see McCain-Feingold.
We have to stop this NOW.

[...] The Daily Caller reports House Democrats might use “a highly unorthodox procedure,” called the “Slaughter Solution,” to pass a reconciliation bill for health care reform “that simply deemed the Senate bill passed, allowing hesitant lawmakers to circumvent actually casting a ballot in favor of a law they don’t like.” [...]

Pelosi is leading the Dems to Slaughter. Not all the Democrats live in the land of San Franciso elites. I picture Pelosi and Obama standing alone and sinking into their steaming pile of health care “reform” surrounded by Conservative Republicans and Independents repealing its damage and digging us out of this in 2011.

Here’s the deal: they have to move forword, no choice. There is serious danger here for the dems in that many of us who did not vote for BHO, precisely for this reason…absolutely nothing they have set out to accomplish has benn closed, nothing. We knew this in 07 and 08. We knew this at his inauguration. We knew this last year and we know this now.

BHO and this Congress is on pace to be the least effective in modern history, to the extent of dereliction. We are 14-16 months out from his reelection efforts already, and this admin has done nothing except continue to inflame the majority by trying to appease the minority…all this using tricks, lies, bribes, back room meetings and outrageous financial gimmicks.

Trust the Senators? You folks are a hoot a minute. How about those 290 Bills you Congressmen/women have already passed in the House that are stuck in the Senate? Will work (Come November) for food.
