Dems Guarantee Nationalized Health Care in 2009

The Dems are using the budget "reconciliation" process, originally designed to save money in Congress, to jam through their nationalized health care agenda without the possibility of the filibuster. And add the $1 trillion energy/business tax to that...From NR:

In this case, the Obama administration plans to abuse a process that was designed to save money, not create expansive and expensive new policies. The idea is to implement two controversial policies at the once — carbon caps, which will raise government revenues, and nationalized health care, which costs money. Ideally, the one policy allows the other one to pass. If Congress can estimate for itself $1.5 trillion dollars in future revenues from selling mandatory carbon credits, it can then pass legislation under reconciliation to spend all but $1 billion of that money on an entirely new health-care system.

The Cubanization of the U.S. economy - the Dems own it. As Obama well knows, not a single GOP member voted for his plan to quadruple the budget deficit and not a single GOP member will join him on his Great Nationalization & Taxation plan. Most divisive ever.
