Perennial sourpuss Harry Reid finally managed to crack a truly hilarious joke when he declared that his Senate Healthcare Bill is "fully paid for."
Perhaps what he meant to say is that the Democratic votes he needs to ram his plan through have been "fully paid for," including a now-infamous payment of $300 million taxpayer dollars to Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La).
In any event, the Senate gave Harry Reid the 60 votes he needed (all Democrats) to advance his healthcare bill to the next step - so for now, the joke is on us.
Definately a loss for Liberty, but the issue is still up in the air. Often in American history a terrible loss can be turned into the ultimate victory and this could be one of those times. We will all be watching in the days and weeks to come.
ReplyDeleteRon- You're absolutely right, and here at Hope n' Change we're hoping to see the bill killed...and for this whole experience to become a big wake-up call about the dangers of unchecked government. Optimistic? Probably...
