>> Such as? I really don't want to get into a big discussion with you about it as the workings are complicated and you don't understand any of it. I will say that the costs of this legislation are far, far higher than than you're being told and over 20 years the short fall will be in the trillions. This, in effect, will force the federal government to revisit the issue and overtly nationalize health care at a later date. There will be no other choice because they've put everyone on the government dole. >> illusion that the bill's support has fallen because it is too radical. It isn't an "illusion". It is a fact. As is evidenced by the fact that not one liberal Democrat, even the most extreme, voted against it. Support dropped like a rock because people recognize the legislation is intrusive. This is why Reid has hidden the details of the bill throughout the process. >> Unfortunately this is how business is done in DC...the GOP is no different and everyone knows it. Yeah, I hear this on CNN too. And it is one big damned lie. There has never, in this nation's history, been a bill on this scale passed (a) on a party line vote, and (b) without the opposing party being allowed to make EVEN ONE contribution to the legislation. This is NOT how business has been done in DC in the past. It is fascism.
