Allow me to show you what I mean.

There ought to be a law...

...banning all cell phone use in moving vehicles, movie theaters, restaurants, airplanes, and (for good measure) bathrooms. First offense -- confiscation of phone. Second offense -- donating 100 phones to a women's shelter. Third offense... (I leave that one open to suggestion).

...making all political ads on TV free, for all legitimate candidates. This will largely fix campaign financing, since it's usually the biggest expense in a campaign. To the TV companies, I would say: suck it up! The People own the airwaves, not you.

...requiring everyone in Congress to appear in public at all times dressed in a jacket with corporate logos on it, signifying all recent campaign donations. The bigger the contribution, the bigger the logo would have to be. Call it the "Dress Like NASCAR Drivers Act."

Come on, you guys can come up with your own, right?

Apparently, yer not up on current events..

What about the hundreds of billions in Medicare cuts that DunselCare will require??

If even one person were better off due to it, it would have served a purpose.

At a cost of over 1 TRILLION dollars!!??? I cannot think of ANY person (god included) who would be worth that much taxpayer money...

Well, maybe my lovely wife, but that's a different issue. :D

And, don't forget.. All of the costs will be up front, within the first few years of DunselCare.

After that, THEN the "benefits" of DunselCare will start trickling down to us peons.

The entire idea at the beginning was to reform health care..

Now, the entire idea behind DunselCare is simply to give Democrats a desperately needed "win" that they can ride to the 2010 elections.

Ironically enough, DunselCare might be more of a burden than a blessing. Because, without the public option, Democrats might find that it is their own base that is sealing their doom...

And absolutely NO ONE can blame this on the GOP.. Because, as has been stated in here time and time again, the GOP is "dead" and "irrelevant"...

No, this SNAFU is one that the Democrats will own all by their selves...

On a completely and utterly unrelated note....

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN is a MUST SEE movie.... :D

Michale.....

Buying better if you can afford it is a provision. And no current benefits are being reduced. Its not DunselCare. If even one person were better off due to it, it would have served a purpose. As it is any reform will serve the very real purpose of beginning a much needed overhaul of our healthcare system.

You can criticize anything for what's its not; nothing is perfect. But this isn't a winger web site. If all you've got is bullet points and catch-phrases expect to be called on it.

ANY SpecOps soldier that, in the performance of their duties, injures a terrorist scumbag are not to be brought up on charges!!

Anyone ever read the Nelson DeMille novel, WORD OF HONOR??

There is a quote in there made by a Chaplain that made me really think...

"In war, all actions are pre-forgiven."

Makes ya wonder, eh?

Michale.....

For example, should DunselCare pass, then every elected official must be bound by the same provisions and limitations of said legislation, regardless of their ability to buy better care.
