BEST READ: THE WORST BILL EVAH?

How awful is NancyCare? The Wall Street Journal says it may just be the worst bill ever.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told fellow Democrats that she's prepared to lose seats in 2010 if that's what it takes to pass ObamaCare, and little wonder. The health bill she unwrapped last Thursday, which President Obama hailed as a "critical milestone," may well be the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced.

In a rational political world, this 1,990-page runaway train would have been derailed months ago. With spending and debt already at record peacetime levels, the bill creates a new and probably unrepealable middle-class entitlement that is designed to expand over time. Taxes will need to rise precipitously, even as ObamaCare so dramatically expands government control of health care that eventually all medicine will be rationed via politics.

    Maybe Pelosi should look for what the people want instead of herself.

    I read this early this morning, and it was good, until they mentioned that this is a peacetime administration. It is?

    It's a piece time administration. They want a piece of everything. Your income, your lifestyle, your decisions. Why? Because they are sooooooooooooooo much more smarter than anybody you should be glad they want to do all the work FOR you.

    I think it goes beyond trying to help people get healthcare. They actually believe they are "saving" us from something.... What I don't know.... From becoming financiallly stable? Cause it's evil to want to be rich I guess.
