THE PRESIDENT PROPOSES A PRONOUN
Does Pres Obama really think this is true?
Yuval Levin remarks at The Corner:

Over the last several weeks, key committees in the House and the Senate
have made important and unprecedented progress on a plan that will
lower costs, provide better care for patients, and curb the worst
practices of the insurance companies. It's a plan that will not add to
our deficit over the next decade. Let me repeat that: It is a plan
that will not add to our deficit over the next decade — and eventually
will help lower our deficit by slowing the skyrocketing cost of
Medicare and Medicaid.
Yuval Levin remarks at The Corner:
To which any observer of the passing scene must say: What in the world
is the president talking about? Where is the committee in the House or
Senate that has offered up a bill that will not add to the deficit?
What bill would that be? Even in their own terms, with all the gimmicks
they’ve been able to come up with, the plans the Democrats have
proposed so far are all enormously expensive, and no one has yet
proposed a way to pay for them. So what is the “it†the president has
in mind exactly?

Ah, but don't you know that we'll just plants some of these here magic beans that grow into big tall money trees? Problem solved.
Sorry, the very idea that people think the United States can afford universal health care when it can't even afford existing social programs (ahem, Social Security, Medicare) makes my head explode. Sure "free" health care would be nice. But then, so would free landscaping or free cars. Any chance of lobbying Congress for a new Mercedes?
By the way, I absolutely love your blog. It's on my daily to-read list.

We are disappointed that our emperOr has not proposed a new pronoun to replace the sexist terms he and she.
Val L., we would have those magic beans today if only that crazy creationist Bushaitan hadn't stopped all genetic engineering research. If Canadians can wait three years for a checkup, you can wait three years for a few beans that will stimulate the economy.
Until then, no free Mercedes for you. You'll have to settle for a Government Motors Trabant.
