Both DEMs and GOPs are getting grumpy with the healthcare schedule. It seems that OUR (we use that term lightly) representatives can’t wait to leave DC. Unfortunately, the vote is re-scheduled for 8:00 am tomorrow morning. That’s 11 hours earlier than originally scheduled.
This schedule change allows US Senators to join their families just before Christmas. Remember, that the “deadline” was purely artificial to begin with. The REAL reason for it was to get ObamaCare jammed through before any of the 60 Democratic votes cave under pressure from home constituents. The reason for the deadline ensures that the vote will take place before anyone gets cold feet and flips their vote.
To show how made-up this is, this is the first time since 1963 when the chamber met to consider funding for funding the Vietnam War.
This act does not take into consideration what the American public at large wants. When passed everyone will be forced into buying health insurance. Since when can the government tell you to buy anything? What’s keeping Congress from tell you to buy a Chevy?
