</fantasy> Let's pretend a frustrated congress, desperate to enact anything called Health Care reform,
passes not a 1500 page, trillion dollar monstrosity, but 5 pages that
deal with chicken pox and measles. Let's say that happened.
When democrats from the House and Senate get together to negotiate
differences into a unified bill, here's what will happen next, by way
of example. </fantasy>
Last month the full senate voted to strip the District of Columbia of
forest fire funds in a land management bill. Insert your own joke
here. Yesterday, during the reconciliation process, democrats "rebuked the Forest Service for spending stimulus forest firefighting
money on D.C. green-jobs programs, but gave the city the money anyway."
Five pages of Health care will become 1500 pages. It's what
gummint does when"four flushers" are the only players. Ah, for
the days when cheats were shot dead by Bill Hickok.
