Not a bad speech last night sir. You had me right up to the point of "Public Option" and "Eliminating Waste."
Your biggest challenge however is behind you sir. You couldn't miss her. She was dressed in red. Speaker Pelosi who truly believes SHE is President of the United States. Even Hilary Clinton won't do that. By gum she admitted to being Secretary of State.
Madame Speak is going to try and ram the Public Option right up your wazoo. You say 5%, she's says 100. Let's call the whole thing off.
And there is no way that the 5% you claim would use the public option could sustain itself by premiums only.
Then there's eliminating waste as you call it. You mean the kind of waste like the $23 Billion we lent to Chrysler and GM? Word, officially is, we won't get a dime of it back. Not a dime.
Waste,
Then there's Cash for Clunkers. Dealers all over the country are still waiting for the million of dollars in rebates they were supposed to get in ten days, they've been waiting for over a month. No worries. The check is in the mail.
Waste.
Uh-oh, they're using the United States Postal Service to mail those checks, the same type of "company" you say the public option would be. The USPS is bleeding billions.
Mail will soon be five days a week instead of six. You know, rationing.
Waste.
Thusly, your speech about eliminating waste, was a waste of time.
But you almost had me there. Almost.
