The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

[CatWoman]

by Caribou Barbie

just thought you guys might want a Sundayy afternoon chuckle. I'm pissed cause my team just got its ass whupped, and I need a distraction :)

We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country.

The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business.

Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject the troubling path this country has been taking, Speaker Pelosi has broken her own promises of transparency to ram a health “care” bill through the House of Representatives just before midnight. Why did she push the 2,000 page bill this weekend? Was she perhaps afraid to give her peers and the constituents for whom she works the chance to actually read this monstrous bill carefully, if at all? Was she concerned that Americans might really digest the details of a bill that the Wall Street Journal has called “the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced”?

This out-of-control bureaucratic mess will be disastrous for our economy, our small businesses, and our personal liberty. It will slam businesses at a time when we are at double-digit unemployment rates – the highest we’ve seen in a quarter of a century. This massive new bureaucracy will cost us and our children money we don’t have. It will rob Americans of more of our freedom and further hamper the free market.

Make no mistake: we’re on course to have government commandeer one-sixth of our economy. The people who gave us Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now want to run our health care. Think about that.

4. Someone needs to remind Caribou Barbie

that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac worked until they started paying mega-salaries to their MBA-type CEOs and were privatized.

As Max Keiser pointed out recently, if you want to look at a government-run program that worked, look at NASA's first trip to the moon. That was back in the day when government was seen as a good thing. It is privatization and the worship of the greedy -- the belief that the most effective managers are people motivated by greed -- that have caused all the crises that Caribou Barbie refers to.

8. "Despite Americans' decisive message . . ." would that be from the . . .

sullen and overfed 4,500 who showed up to bleat back at Bachmann's senseless rants and those of her coterie of co-haters? That was "decisive" on one level at least: those are not the people I want deciding anything for me.
