obama "looks forward to signing it by the end of the year".

 

holy shit.  I didn't think they'd actually pass the monstrosity of a health care bill.  it is the biggest step forward, for statist intrusion on our rights.  does no one see the parallel?  medicare and social security are exactly the programs that are bankrupting us as a country.

 

I'm going to go drink now.  peace.

Not that much of a surprise, really. It's a good thing, in a way, sort of like how a major earthquake is better than the Victorian Bushfires.

You are a bad economist. This bill will destroy everything around, and reconstruction will help stimulate our economy; and more people will be in jobs. Hail Keynes.

I believe destroying the White House would be of great economic benefit to the country!

In more ways than one...

I wonder if they have insurance on it...

But I kind of want them to pass it so that I can point out: HAH health care costs up, medical services down, derp derp derp  you lose statist!

except since the average person is innumerate they won't be able to interpret the statistics that prove that.  they'll just go off of what they're told, like always.  don't forget that they'll freely jump between anecdotal evidence means nothing or everything depending on whom it happened to.
