>> How was it enacted corruptly?

Let's see.

How about you write me a check for $100. On receipt of said check, I erase everything but the signature and replace it with the language of my choice. Maybe $1,000. Then, I negotiate the check.

Would you consider THAT to be corrupt?

That is precisely what Harry Reid did with the legislation the House passed.

Of course, that's just the beginning.

>> In addition, the plan envisions only minor policy changes on Medicare and little change in other entitlements, the containment of which we and most other independent observers regard as key to long-term fiscal sustainability.

Pretty much what I said. The problem is that these horrible, failed programs are politically untouchable and they, not the mere $18 Trillion, are the problem.
