Pro-life leaders on Capitol Hill are once again rolling up their sleeves for the health care fight after the White House announced it would publish a compromise bill as soon as Sunday to push through abortion-expanding health care.
In a New York Times report Thursday, Democratic officials confirmed that President Obama's proposal was being designed for attachment to a budget bill, which would require only a 51-vote majority in the Senate through a process known as budget reconciliation.
If the new legislation (which is essentially a package of compromises to satisfy House Democrats) passes, the House would be forced to swallow whole the health bill the Senate passed in December. The House-passed bill, which included the Stupak language barring government monies from funding abortion, would be completely discarded in favor of the abortion-expanding Senate bill.
Maybe the bozo parade of (D)s think that TEA Party folks are wintering underground. They're wrong.
We're buying pitchforks, along with the ammo. Tar and feathers will be hard to get, too...if this comes to the floor.
ReplyDeletePolitico reports there will also be an increase in Medicare payroll taxes. Maybe I'm wrong, but don't people who make less than $250k pay Medicare payroll taxes?
But that's not really a "tax increase" in Obamaland. And besides...Congress did it and it's Bush's fault.
ReplyDeleteEverything's Bush's fault: the Titanic, Mt. Vesuvius, the Holocaust etc etc.
ReplyDeleteGod forgive me...
ReplyDeleteBut I truly hate these people....
