Congress Wants a Pony (Healthcare)

House Prepares to Vote on Health Care, Undaunted by Elections

Undaunted by elections…

McDonnell wins in VA, Christie wins in NJ…

OK. What ever she’s drinking, make mine a double. No… nevermind, it’s kool-aid.

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) — House Democratic leaders, undeterred by delays in the Senate or this week’s Republican electoral triumphs, plan to call a vote Saturday on the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. health-care policy in four decades.

The House will move on the $1.05 trillion legislation that would cover 36 million uninsured people and create a government plan to compete with private insurers even after the election of Republican governors in New Jersey and Virginia. President Barack Obama will go to Capitol Hill tomorrow to meet with House Democrats, as they seek the 218 votes they need to pass the bill, a Democratic leadership aide said.

Unbelievable. $1.05 trillion.

It seems to me that whatever it is that motivates the supporters in Washington… greed, lust for power, belief in central planning, stupidity, belief in Marxism, brainwashing, ignorance, religion (ie communism), arrogance… they want it. I’ll try to explain…

Congress: I want a pony!

CBO: we can’t afford it.

Congress: I don’t care! I want a pony!

CBO: it will increase the deficit.

Congress: I don’t care! Pony! Pony!Pony!Pony!Pony!

CBO: We will have to sell everything west of the Mississippi to China and Taxes will have to confiscate 90% of everyone’s wages…
