Decoding Pelosi’s health care reform bill

The Wall Street Journal tackles the 1990-page wonder, and comes up with this.

Summary:

Mr. Obama rode into office on a wave of “change,” but we doubt most voters realized that the change Democrats had in mind was making health care even more expensive and rigid than the status quo. Critics will say we are exaggerating, but we believe it is no stretch to say that Mrs. Pelosi’s handiwork ranks with the Smoot-Hawley tariff and FDR’s National Industrial Recovery Act as among the worst bills Congress has ever seriously contemplated.

Read it and weep, if you’re not already doing so.

    Mrs. Watsit, I don’t know if you’re being a little facetious, because this may happen (Wall Street Journal is owned by a one Mr. Rupert Murdoch.)

    The WSJ is actually owned by NewsCorp, which the esteemed, and, by all accounts, savvy Mr. Murdoch controls.

    Mr. Murdoch is nearly 80 I hope he has an ironclad succession plan.

About Me

Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon.
