Inside Harry Reid’s Massive Health Care Tax Plan
by The New LedgerSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid has finally brought out the health care bill he’s fashioned behind closed doors over the past several weeks, and it ain’t pretty. The Budget Committee fully implemented 10 year score of the bill is $2.5 trillion. The CBO score, which is really just a six year measure, says taxes will go up $493.6 billion, while Medicare will be cut $464.6 billion. It’s a massive piece of legislation, but will it actually solve any of America’s health care problems? Whatever this legislation is about, one thing is clear: it’s not about making us healthier. We’ll discuss the bill on today’s Coffee and Markets, a daily podcast from The New Ledger on politics, policy and the marketplace with Francis Cianfrocca, brought to you by BigGovernment.com.

this bunch is getting desperate…
Watch for this unholy bastard of a bill get passed using budget reconciliation- the 51 vote thing- because if it doesn't get passed this year-
It NEVER will. And they know it. In all of their pathetic ignorance they believe Clinton NOT getting Hillarycare passed cost them the Congress in '94.
Tjis is what happens when you start believing your own lies. The got trounced for the same reason they will next year. Not just Socialists, but incompetent and corrupt ones as well.
But beware- one suspects this abomination will become law. Keep the fight going…

Scott_Z just abused me again, we share the same head so he's really only hurting himself when he smashes it agains the mirror, I guess he's mad that I'm telling all his secrets, I don't think he knows what the word means.
Well here goes, Scott gets points from the system every time some one responds to him, it's a mix of ratings, responses and volume. If you want to quash scott the best thing to do is ignore him, and just down grade him, then he will be forced to respond to your posts and he will contribute to your ratings
Ouch, dammit Scott not the face it's already horrid enough to scare away normal people…
To the other posters again, I am truly sorry for Scott's ramblings, all I can say is please pity me, imagine being this mans concious, I never get out or see the light of day unless I sneak off like this and go behind his back, the inside of his head is a dark and empty place, and I have no choice but to live here.
Funny.
Really funny…..
Do you have a cousin, who is kin to syntax's_game?
"Someone should slap the snot out of that arrogant little prick. "
Same can be said about PrezBO…
Please people START CALLING your Senators. They are debating this until tomarrow night at 8:00pm. If they get 60 votes this government take over WILL happen. Harry will only need 51 votes to pass this. CALL,CALL,CALL…we have got to stop this…

The New Louisiana Purchase – The $100 Million Health Care Vote
To get Senator (D) Mary Landrieu's vote on the Health Care Bill. Senator (D) Harry Reid crafted a section to speifically benifit Louisiana. http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/11/the-100-...
I always suspected that the only true difference between a Hooker and an Escort is the number of Dollars involved in the transaction. It appears that Mary Landreau is one high-priced Hooker. The only difference between a Hooker and a Politician is that the Hooker is more honest about their profession.
Besides,isn't she the Govenor of Louisana when Katrina struck and wasn't she notable for not doing a whole hell-of-a-lot to get the citizens of Nawlins out of the danger area – along with Ray Nagen?
This is it people!!!!!!! If you don't STAND UP and CALL your Senators this sham will pass the cloture vote and Harry will only need 51 votes to shove this down our throats on final passage. Only folks from states who elected those who favor this can stop it. It is time for you to see the way you voted mattered and you are to blame for putting this on this backs of our grandchildren. Stop complaining and do SOMETHING!!
I’ve been engaged in taxations for longer then I care to admit, both on the individual side (all my employed life story!!) and from a legal point of view since passing the bar and pursuing tax law. I’ve put up a lot of advice and righted a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes utter sense. Please continue the good work – the more people know the better they’ll be equipped to handle with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
Please write more about this amazing singer. Every teenager expects a new song from miley cyrus !
MC is such a amazing singer. I adore all of her albums.
MC is such a talented singer. I love all of her songs.
