Is 'possible pandemic' a diversion? April 27, 2009 © 2009 WorldNetDaily wnd.com Diversion by design? Look over here, not over there. While everyone's attention was being focused by the Obama administration and the media on the "possible pandemic" of swine flu virus, Nancy Thorner at American Thinker swept back the curtain to reveal that Democrat congressional leaders and the White House spent "the weekend hammering out final details of the proposed $3.5 trillion FY 2010 budget bill, with no Republican input, in a push toward final approval of the 2010 budget proposal by Wednesday." A curious coincidence that the media stayed focused on the swine flu "epidemic," but barely a mention about a $1.2 trillion dollar health care budget contained within the overall package? Thorner wrote: "Because health care is one of the big drivers of government spending in Obama's budget – nationalized health care for Democrats has been a dream since FDR – Democrats have decided to use a process called "reconciliation" to pass the budget bill in the Senate, (reconciliation waives the need for a super majority vote of 60; a majority vote will do) so there is no chance that Republicans will be able to derail the bill. Also distressing is that debate will be limited without the possibility of amendments. This sounds like a power grab to me."
