218

Well there is life still in the President and his Marxist philosophies. Tonight they scored a big win.

I'd like to tap the Democrats on the shoulder in 5, 10, 15, 20 years and say "I told you so". No one thinks this will work- for what has government done that works? Medicare? Medicaid? Social Security? Education? Every big social agenda they stick their collective noses into only turns into a larger boondoggle that hemorrhages money and exacerbates the very ill it tries to cure.

Well except poverty of course. After LBJ's "War on Poverty" we've eradicated it. Right?

I was listening to CSPAN and, yes, trying to call in. Everyone in favor had the same argument: FREE STUFF. It's like the ice cream cake someone brings in at the office. Suddenly everyone is in the break room on time. Free cake? Oh yeah I can be there at noon.

I propose HR 3222010: a free pony for everyone in America.

Who wants a pony!?! Why not just pass a law giving everyone free milk? Isn't it a RIGHT to have free milk? And bacon! Free bacon!

You laugh? Ha- look at french subsidies on farm products. You don't think they can afford camembert at $18 a pound do you? No- someone else pays. Always.

Tonight was a vote for free stuff. Everything free but freedom.

And to you- our beloved democrats who scored your victory tonight- congrats. Healthcare is now yours. When med school numbers plummet, when costs skyrocket- and mark my words both will- you can rest assured that all 218 votes that passed this disastrous piece of unconstitutional, unamerican, eurotrash socialism- were all yours.

And Barack Obama's.
