This is a pretty critical point for the health care rationing bill, and VP Biden’s supposed to be this hyper-useful kind of guy when it comes to Congressional issues. Goodness knows, we got told often enough that he was smarter than his opposite number in the campaign – you know, the one who is currently helping to drive the debate, to the administration’s detriment – so it seems odd that he’s not more involved in helping his boss chivvy scared Democratic legislators back into line.
Very odd…
SAY IT AIN’T SO, JOE: Half down, half to go. Veep Biden, touting health care reform at a Chicago fundraiser declared, “We provide about 50 percent of the health care already.” Great. And untrue. A fourth of Americans are covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Two-thirds are covered by private insurers. That’s according to the federal census.
Ah. Yes. Of course.
Silly me.

Given Biden's track record, would you let him

POOF!!

Amy, they tried that with Hillary
izoneguy (Diary) Sunday, August 23rd at 11:26AM EST (link)And she threw a tantrum – that is why they sent her to Africa.
But that did not work out well either.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
No you wouldn't, Amy.

God love ya.
HA! I defer to Janis.
