>> 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.
