DAY ONE: HOW OBAMACARE WILL ALIENATE AMERICANS
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann
12.22.2009

Obama’s health care bill, the poisoned Kool-Aid making its way through the Senate, will not confer any of its supposed benefits on Americans until 2013. But they will find themselves chafing at its restrictions and paying its taxes immediately after the law takes effect. Then, they will see no gain, but plenty of pain, for the next three years.

This odd juxtaposition of “suffer now, benefit later” is the byproduct of the Administration’s sleight of hand in specifying ten years worth of cuts and taxes in the legislation, but deferring its benefits for the first four years. By comparing six years of spending with ten years of taxing, it managed to appear deficit neutral under the rules of the Congressional Budget Office. In fact, the annual revenues fall far short of covering any single year’s worth of spending, adding to the deficit for each of the last six years over the next ten, but, viewing the decade as a whole, it appears deficit neutral.

Yet the political price is hardly neutral. Democrats who misguidedly vote for this monstrosity will face immediate political repercussions

Dick Morris, love that guy.  Yes, I've listened to him often speaking on this very subject.  Maddening to say the least.  Those who really want this HC reform bill to pass, are in for a very rude awakening.  They will all be pissing and moaning - very soon.  Then can we say:  I told you so?

Democrats will be lucky if the only repercussions they face are political.  In fact, there's a snotty Democrat in the neighborhood with an Obama/Biden bumper-sticker on the bumper of a car that now has a nasty scar on its black paint from a big cuppa paint-remover someone tossed on it not too long ago.  I cannot say that I am in the least bit sympathetic.

When all the details of what is actually in there come out I am still believing there will be holy hell to pay for those that pushed it.

The upshot of that is they know it too and will be in overdrive to implement the rest of the communist agenda on us before next November.
