Well, the Democrat’s health care bill passed.

Roll Call as soon as I get it…if Republicans get their way…

Chanting “Yes we can!”

219-210

I’m willing to bet that the Stupak group was the deciding factor.

If this isn’t a “Let them eat cake” moment, there never was one…

Nancy Pelosi was positively giddy while walking through the protesters today on the way to the Capitol.

Queen Bee Nan laughs while walking through "Kill the Bill" protests...

CBS is reporting that Barack Obama has been watching college basketball and filling out his bracket…

While, outside, the American people are telling them “No!”

And those who can’t be in DC have been calling Congress at the rate of 100,000 per hour!

“Let them eat cake!”

It seems that Senate Republicans have found a provision in the current health care bill and in the Congressional Budget Act that makes the current bill ineligible for the reconciliation procedure.

Drudge initially reported:

FLASH: Senate Republicans found a provision in the new House health care bill that likely makes it ineligible for expedited ‘reconciliation’ procedures in the Senate. Dems refused to meet with GOP and Parliamentarian…. Developing….

He then linked here to a document released by Senate Republicans regarding the issue.

It seems that because there is a change to the Social Security Act–under certain legal restrictions–the use of reconciliation can not be used.

What it looks like is that Republicans have called out Democrats regarding the issue, but have been met with silence.

If the link is still dead, here is the text:

Breaking: “Fix” Bill May Not Advance In Senate

Senate Democrats Refuse Bi-partisan Meeting With Parliamentarian Until After House Votes

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Democrats have balked at a bi-partisan meeting with the Senate Parliamentarian to discuss a rule violation that could doom the entire House reconciliation proposal.

DON STEWART, McCONNELL SPOKESMAN: “Republicans have been trying to set up a meeting with Senate Democrats since yesterday to discuss this fatal point of order but have been met with nothing but silence. We suspect Democrats are slow walking us so as to have the House vote first. Since Senate Democrats refuse to meet with us and the Parliamentarian, we’ve informed our colleagues in the House that we believe the bill they’re now considering violates the clear language of Section 310g of the Congressional Budget Act, and the entire reconciliation bill is subject to a point of order and rejection in the Senate should it pass the House.”

BACKGROUND

DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP RELEASE: “The Congressional Budget Office estimate of the health care legislation shows an increase in Social Security revenues… CBO projects that the resulting increase in wages will generate $29 billion in additional FICA contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund.” (“Health Care Reform Update,” Office of Rep. Steny Hoyer, 3/21/10)

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT: “LIMITATION ON CHANGES TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported pursuant to a concurrent resolution on the budget agreed to under section 301 or 304, or a joint resolution pursuant to section 258C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, or any amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that contains recommendations with respect to the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program established under title II of the Social Security Act.” (Congressional Budget Act Of 1974, Sec. 310g, P. 31)

UPDATE:  AllahPundit reports:

“The point of this move, of course, isn’t actually to derail the reconciliation bill in the Senate, it’s to frighten House Dems who are voting tonight that they might end up with Reid’s bill without a fix and therefore they should rethink their vote while they still have time.”

This is idiotic.  Frankly, it’s the Liberals who are attempting to frighten the American people.

Bami actually said to the GOP, “Stop trying to frighten the American People.”

Are you serious?

Now, that was December 9th.  It’s now the 16th and what does Bami do?

Fearmonger.

“If we don’t pass it, here’s the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you.  Potentially they’re going to drop your coverage, because they just can’t afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.”

If the Healthcare bill doesn’t pass…“the federal government will go bankrupt.”

“Because if we don’t do this, nobody argues with the fact that health care costs are going to consume the entire federal budget.”

Read

Woah…who’s fearmongering now?

And…as a quick aside…

He said this the same day he signed a $1.1 Trillion spending bill…

Read

And the same day that the House approved a $155 Billion jobs bill…

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FIRST BILL FOR?  All the shovel ready jobs?!

I thought we already did this…

But to bring it all back…

When Bami says that the federal government will go bankrupt without the Health care bill, does he mean that they’ll stop spending?

UPDATE:  I forgot to mention…

The debt exceeds the debt limit…Good job, folks!

Folks, in a stunning display of his Democratic insensitivity, Harry Reid said that the death of Senator Ted Kennedy would help the health care movement.

While he may be right, he shouldn’t be right.

The only bill that deserves the posthumous Kennedy name is one that allows for the will to live to be calculated into health care matters.  Kennedy’s will to live was just as great as any other American’s.  Why should he have the luxury of being allowed treatment at his advanced age of 77 for what proved to be terminal brain cancer, when hundreds, thousands, millions of Americans would have to forgo treatment because of rationed government care?  Adding his name to such a bill, or pretending he would have endorsed such a bill, does him, his death, and his name a disservice.

Folks, this video includes Barack Obama saying he is for a “single payer system.”  He also says that the government run “public option” will eliminate private insurance.  The video also shows Jan Schakowsky bragging about tearing down the health insurance system–you may remember my post on that earlier this year…

Watch the explosive video here:

UPDATE:  August 4, 2009:

The White House goes to the web to attack the Drudge Report.

Apparently the above video just cherry picked certain statements…but its pretty damning that he said that it will eliminate private insurance…

They’re in damage control here, folks.

Also, I think it is wrong that they are attacking the Drudge Report…calling it “misinformation.”

Oh, and, Happy Birthday, Barry!

Botox, face lifts, tummy tucks, hair transplants, etc., may be taxed 10% in order to pay for the $1 trillion health overhaul.

From Congress Daily: “Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucustold reporters he had heard some ‘interesting,’ ‘creative,’ and ‘kind of fun’ ideas.”

Fun taxes?  Is this guy a loon?

The only state that taxes cosmetic surgery is New Jersey.

Folks, Conyers sickens me.  This isn’t the first time he has made a comment that has made my stomach turn.

Remember when he decided not to investigate ACORN because of the “powers that be?”

Well now he said questioned the congresspeople who advocate reading the healthcare bill…
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill.’  What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

This is almost as bad as them censoring the term “government run” health care in favor of “public option.”

Well what good is trying to keep your job if don’t give a damn about this country?

UPDATE:  In 2004, Barack Obama rips Bush Administration for rushing legislation through congress…

“When you rush these budgets, that are a foot high, and no body has any idea what’s in them, and it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation and debate then these kind of things happen.”

Blood is shooting from my eyes.  This flagrant example of Obama hypocrisy hurts me…

Folks, The healthcare bill–in both the House and Senate–have provisions to spend billions of dollars on “infrastructure.”

Walking paths, lighting for playgrounds, all stem from the healthcare bill.  Uncle Teddy’s handlers said that it is needed to improve the overall livelihood of folks that use the parks.

I call it an excuse to spend more money they don’t have.

The limit for spending in the Senate version of the bill is up to O-Man himself.

The limit for the House version of the bill is $1.6 Billion a year…

And, no, they don’t know where they’re going to get the money.

The group, Trust for America’s Health is behind some of the language in the bill:

The spending is needed to “create the infrastructure to support active living and access to nutritious foods in a safe environment.’’

Obama said that this is needed as “preventative care.”

This is “the largest investment ever in preventive care, because that’s one of the best ways to keep our people healthy and our costs under control.’’

Yeah…you don’t have to do tests anymore…Cuts costs…
