Thomas McClanahan: Dems should not ram through a flawed bill
Thomas McClanahan: “Don’t believe the predictions that health care reform will be self-financing. Cassidy [Democrat] writes that ‘What is really unfolding.. is the scenario that many conservatives feared. The Obama administration is creating a new entitlement program, which, once established, will be virtually impossible to rescind.’ “
“Nor is this effort solely about health care, or a bid to make the U.S. a ‘more equitable society.’ Cassidy says this is all part of the Democrats’ ‘political calculus’ — meaning, I assume, that if voters are more dependent on government, they will tend the support the PARTY of government, namely the Democrats.”

“What the Democrats have in mind will transform the historic relationship between American citizens and their government. I DOUBT MOST VOTERS WOULD AGREE THAT SOMETHING THIS SWEEPING SHOULD BE PASSED USING ‘SUBTERFUGE,’ COUPLED WITH A MAD RUSH TO RAM IT THROUGH NOW AND WORRY LATER ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES.”
