If this makes it politically impossible to let the Bush tax cuts expire after 12years it is just not worth it.

What is with these people?

Plus he looks like a little punk that needs a talking to.
He needs to be taken to the woodshed and severley thrashed. Cantor was the snotty little bastard who held up aid to tornado victims until somebody kissed his sorry arse.

I curious about your characterization of Dubya's Medicare prescription drug law and its cost of over a half a trillion dollars, paid for with a tax cut, no less. Let the adjectives fly on that one, Jack.

Oh, wait.

If you don't think there will be people making money outside of government on the the PPACA, then I think that's a naive position. I'm even scheming on the ways to cash in on the new federal money train. I envision bureaucracy significant enough that it will require outside consultants to effectively navigate. Furthermore, keep in mind that your 40% overhead keeps people employed somehwhere along the chain. The healthcare policy will perturb the current system and the resulting effects are not easily predictable despite the utopian meanderings of the pro-PPACA folks.

I at least find solace that the SC didn't find it constitutional on ICC grounds. I'm always surprised at the twist and turns inherent in siginificant SC decisions. It will be fun to watch this monstrosity be implemented and the political noose slowly choke the democrats. I can't explain it, but everytime I see Nancy Peolosi on camera, I think of Salem.
