Remember that Congress can change or reduce the healthcare benefits any time it wants to during the next three or four years without returning any of the tax money collected up to that point. You have to admire the political skill on show here -- namely getting everyone to talk healthcare this and that when what is really going on is a tax increase. Once you realize the "healthcare" bill is really just a tax increase, the desperate attempts to pass this bill begin to make sense -- Democrats want to avoid the budget trap that heavily blue states like CA and IL have fallen into as revenues decline during the economic collapse. The House and Senate leaders are talking healthcare for the same reason a stage magician waves his hands around and gestures toward the pretty girl on stage -- they too hope that the audience doesn't notice what is really going on.

Can't this be fast tract? We need to maximize the time to finish more.

The left is so full of progressives right now that they are willing to RISK political suicide to get this done. Remember GWB sent us into Iraq and the left went beserk…….but hes gone, the GOP was run out of town, taken out of power and heavily chastized for their war mongering. BUT NOW…..whats happening NOW……the democrats are in charge…..they see that their actions are going to bring back the GOP to power and there seems to be nothing they can do about it because without their big 3 or 4 agenda items they are rudderless, lacking ideas and have no plans going forward. So if the GOP can make a dazzling comeback based upon where they were just a couple years ago then………. The democrats CAN TOO….hence health care will pass with a public option and a near repeal proof language written into it and the Dems will take their lumps at the polls knowing that IF THE GOP CAN MAKE A COMEBACK in a couple years…….THEY CAN TOO. I predict the Dems will pass health care WITH a public option and then dive head long into the illegal immigration thing. It will be very important for them to legalized 12-20 million more democrats to help them out in the polls for what they are about to do. Elections have consequences. Barak Obama is right about that. The consequences of electing a totally incapable president and then putting him in charge of a congress that is full of closet progressives leaping out like flying monkeys on the voters proves just how dangerous those consequences can be.

Way to drain that swamp, San Fran Nan! P.S. I notice a distinct lack of trolling here today, LC. Does this mean that the little drive-by trolls who's wittiest rebuttal consists of something like <i>"Oh yea...well the military-industrial complex kills and maims BILLIONS each year!!!!!1111oneoneoneevelen"</i>. Do even they think San Fran Nan's not worth defending, or are they too busy trying to call in and get their talking points out on the radio? “Don’t worry, my pretties!

So glad we have this transparent, ethical congress to root out corruption and work in our best interests now! Way to drain that swamp, San Fran Nan!

P.S. I notice a distinct lack of trolling here today, LC. Does this mean that the little drive-by trolls who’s wittiest rebuttal consists of something like “Oh yea…well the military-industrial complex kills and maims BILLIONS each year!!!!!1111oneoneoneevelen”. Do even they think San Fran Nan’s not worth defending, or are they too busy trying to call in and get their talking points out on the radio?
