Reconciliation… Unbelievable.

March 16, 2010 by Noisy Dove

I’m still amazed the Democrats are using Reconciliation. It’s just so inappropriate. But this is all on top of an amazingly brazen and belligerent bill – so my surprise is simply due to my optimism.

I think the main mistake they made was starting with the biggest most Liberal bill you can imagine, including fighting to keep language that many feel will allow for Federally funded abortion. And you know; I might have supported the original bill. Like I’ve said, if I couldn’t count and didn’t know any 20^th century history, I’d probably be on the Liberal side. The reason I generally hate Liberal thinking is because so many of their ideas are lofty and fundamentally flawed. They don’t work. Hey, yeah, let’s buy everyone a house and pay for healthcare.

“Nether do Conservative ideas,” – Not true – Conservatives generally want to maintain ideas that have been and are currently working – the ones that built our mighty nation. Liberals point to the few people for whom the system isn’t working, forwhatever reason, and use that as a reason for social upheaval. You know what I’m talking about. Those assholes can’t go a day without reading a letter supposedly from someone in some gravely unfortunate situation healthcare wise.

The original healthcare bill might have worked. At least the Dem’s own optimistic and rosy numbers worked out. But since then, to get Democrats to vote for the thing – yeah, it was that Liberal – they had to hack all the things to death that were supposed to pay for it, like the Cadillac plan tax.

So now this bill is just a big pile of unfunded partisan garbage, garbage that Obama wants to pass for little other reason than to score a perceived victory. If his reasons, or the reasons for the congressional Dems, were anything but, they would have pried this fist-size piece of crap out of their mouths and bitten off a rational piece we can thoughtfully chew and swallow without Historical abuse of something that was originally created to keep a solvent budget.

And the real danger here is the precedence. Reconciliation is for budget adjustments, not creating new bureaucracies. It has a lot of other rules too they’re working to get around. FFS… Don’t these hippies remember a few years ago when they were praising the Republicans who refused to use Reconciliation for some stuff Bush wanted?
