Where was Senate Funny man, Harry Reid, on November 18, 2009? He was trying to look serious in front of the press while announcing the latest Senate health care bill with an almost straight face. There was a hint of a smirk — Reid doesn't ever really smile — and he revealed the enormous 2,074 page, health care reform bill at a whopping cost of $849 billion. (Text of the entire bill.)

In almost the same breath, Reid said this monstrous, bureaucratic creation would reduce the federal deficit by $127 billion over the next ten years while covering 31,000,000 uninsured. He proved once again that government thinks (or hopes) we are all dumber that dirt.

Who is laughing? Just the proponents who think they are fooling the public. The rest of us know that Washington can't add 2 and 2.  Cash for Clunkers cost us a lot more than predicted —  the government also calculated wrong when they awarded stimulus money to consumers so the country could spend its way out of recession (now they want millions to pay it back) — they are claiming success with their "stimulistless" program by counting jobs saved, a calculation that isn't really possible, and counting jobs created in places that don't exist. And the list is endless.

The socialists in Congress have side tracked the media and the public by focusing on bits and pieces like the abortion issue (not that that isn't important but it does not reveal the big picture) and pulled our attention away from things that also matter, like quality of care and cost.

HOW WILL OBAMA and CONGRESS PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?

Sen. Lindsey Graham showed some backbone in a frank and revealing interview with Greta "On The Record" last night. This video starts with some discussion about Graham's heated exchange with Eric Holder about criminalizing the war but continues with Greta's entire interview.(Must Watch) 

Read a revealing Wall Street Journal article that confirms what concerned citizens, tea party participants and those of us that can add 2 + 2 have known from day one. The article emphasizes that ". . .the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine." 

The article that also states, ". . . the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected board with extraordinary powers to dictate what is covered and how it will be paid for."

The Journal quotes prominent health economist Alain Enthoven who has has likened the global budget to "bombing from 35,000 feet, where you don't see the faces of the people you kill."

The joke is really on the millions of "gimme" lemmings who are being duped by a government that has promised to take care of them; by the millions who have been raised and organized to work the welfare system and vote for socialism; by the millions who actually believe that money comes from the government if not from trees; and by the millions who will sooner or later, receive Medicare and/or Medicaid that will limit their care substantially.
