From the Congressional Quarterly (I shit you not, this is actually a headline):
White House Suggests Health Care Cost Isn't New Money
I'll let that sink in for a moment.
If it's not newly-printed, hot-off-the-press money, then where, pray tell, will they be stealing it from???
We are told Social Security is near collapse, its coffers having been been given a more thorough seeing-to by our legislators than does a windstorm for a panhandle screen door. One stark-raving asshat had the bloody nerve to suggest our military folk wounded serving our country should pay their own medical bills. If we are not fiscally sound enough to hold steadfastly to footing the bill for men and women who have been injured serving our country, why be so hell-bent to get out and subsidize the healthcare of the folks who lack the initiative to serve themselves, let alone their fellow Americans?
Pah! I'm disgusted.
