Arrogance, corruption, stupidity
Republicans didn’t have the votes to stop the Senate’s Obamacare bill this morning. But they had the better argument. Oklahoma’s magnificent Senator (and Dr.) Tom Coburn spoke for a lot of us in explaining his vote against the Democrats’ bill:
This vote is indeed historic. This Congress will be remembered for its arrogance, corruption and stupidity. In the year of 2009, a Congress ignored the coming economic storm and impending bankruptcy of our entitlement programs and embarked on an ideological crusade to bring our nation as close to single-payer, government-run health care as possible. If this bill becomes law, future generations will rue this day and I will do everything in my power to work toward its repeal. This bill will ration care, cut Medicare, increase premiums, fund abortion and bury our children in debt.
