Watching this phase of the health care drama play out is surreal. It now looks like Harry Reid will insist on a vote next Thursday on a multi-thousand page bill that no one outside his office has even seen yet. What are senators supposed to vote on, Reid's public statements of good faith? And you can forget getting CBO numbers on it.
I can't see a reason why this bill ought to be rammed through the Congress, other than political expediency. It's like these guys live in an alternate reality.

Sometimes it feels like we are on the verge of becoming a banana republic ourselves.

CBO did score the bill. Everyone has the amendment. Everyone is reviewing it. Everyone has had the bill the amendment is amending for weeks. Any other complaints you would like to make up? |
