"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents,
there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original
right of self-defense..." Alexander Hamilton.
Guess that says it all.
Maybe for you bad sports. More people are for this than are against it, and this is just early polling.
The Republicans spend more time complaining about the solutions that others have found and they neglect to find any solutions of their own.
That's whay they lost in 2008 and that's why they will lose again in 2012.
It much easier to criticize the efforts of others vs finding solutions of their own. The Republicans are a bunch of lazy, over-the-hill frat boys who just had their @sses handed to them by our President.
You think government is the solution?
Government is the whole problem, not the solution.
The problem with THIS BILL is the rules that the CBO was given on how to score it.
Former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin calls it "fantasy in, fantasy out."
"How can the budget office give a green light to a bill that commits the federal government to spending nearly $1 trillion more over the next 10 years? The answer, unfortunately, is that the budget office is required to take written legislation at face value and not second-guess the plausibility of what it is handed. So fantasy in, fantasy out. In reality, if you strip out all the gimmicks and budgetary games and rework the calculus, a wholly different picture emerges: The health care reform legislation would raise, not lower, federal deficits, by $562 billion."
