Second Thoughts? Baucus Warns of Obamacare Train Wreck

Finally the truth is coming out. I wonder what Nancy Pelosi has to say.

Well this is certainly interesting considering that Baucus is warning of a bill that he virtually wrote himself.

"Guys: I gotta warn you, this bill is a trainwreck! I oughta know, 'cause I wrote it!"?

As much as that bill was hacked up and stitched back together with bailing twine, there's little surprise that it doesn't hold water.

Its a camel.

And shame on the Supreme Court for actually allowing this.

There's plenty of shame to go around here.

-Obama: for letting Baucus write the bill when he's a toady for industry, then failing to even sell the bill to the American public in any meaningful way--hell not even the bill, but the concept

-Baucus: see above

-GOP: for failing to offer any meaningful solution whatsoever but instead on a Quixote-esque mission to destroy health care reform (like they did with Clinton) so they could hand Obama his "Waterloo."

Everybody in gov't for failing to address the monster in the room--medical costs--but instead Obama having the gov't simply be on the hook for them (which means us, ultimately) and frauds like Paul Ryan simply wanting to cut out the gov't middleman and just have us eat the costs personally and when you run out of money well tough shit bro.

Lose/lose/lose.
