I like page 124
how can anyone think this is a good plan?

and some still refuse to call this socialistic:huh:

and how about 203, the "tax" is not a "tax"? If it walks like a duck...

here is a link to the real one if you want to look

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3200ih.txt.pdf

Looks about the same, just took a brief look because I don't have the time to read 1017 pages but spotted a few pages from Rex's post and cross refrenced. Little different language, but said the same thing. Walks like a duck....

this was what i ran across the other day which kept me from having to read anymore myself. I was to post this for red so saved me the trouble.

this dude had a blog and highlighted the parts he found out of whack. pretty much everything about it.

doing something is better than nothing? umm, not so much.

There is no way this steaming pile of crap will be passed. There has to be enough Dems against this thing to put a stop to the insanity.

probably still enough naive people to think a watered-down version is the way to go. this guy is on an absolute path to destruction of this economy.

im not sure whats worse, a) he knows exactly what hes doing as a marxist or b) is an absolute and complete economic illiterate.

could be both.

Did he not tell us that America would be fundamentally changed once he got elected?

Wake up people.

i was happy to go along ignoring another buffoon in office and the politics of it all. I even had some small hope for this guy even though i didnt vote for him (ron paul). But cmon its so obvious to anyone not still smitten or a blind follower this dude is just about a disaster on everything.

fundamentally changing america on so many things is impossible to stand by and ignore. i sure hope we allow as little damage as possible in this 3.5 years left. this health care thing is not changeable if its passed. hence, the rush.
