Well Looky Here!!!

Washington (CNN) -- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the Senate health care bill would cost $849 billion over 10 years, according to a senior Democratic source and an administration official.

The office projects that the measure would reduce deficit by $127 billion and insure an additional 31 million Americans, according to the sources.

Ninety-four percent of Americans would be covered under the bill, the sources noted.

The news came as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, met behind closed doors with Senate Democrats to unveil the bill before a news conference later Wednesday.

Reid needs to round up 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to overcome a certain GOP filibuster attempt and open the chamber's debate on the bill.


+++++++++++++++++++++++


So the price dropped and it will actually REDUCE the deficit.

Will wonders never cease?

I wonder what His Royal Lowness Joe Lieberman will do to try and torpedo this version?

So do you think they'll get all the ducks to stand in a row?

Bilingual Barack...

If our President could be fluent in one language besides English which one should it be?

You can pick two if you like. One for internal and one for external use.

She Must Be Crushed...

(CNN) - Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to buy Sarah Palin's just-released memoir, but don't count President Obama among them.

In an interview with CNN's Ed Henry in China, the president acknowledged Wednesday he would not be reading the highly-anticipated memoir by his potential 2012 opponent.

"I probably won't, but I don't get a chance to read things other than briefing books very often these days anyway," he said.

Obama also suggested he views the former Alaska governor as a credible candidate should she decide to seek the presidency in a couple of years.

"You know, she obviously has a big constituency in the Republican Party," he said. "You know, there a lot of people who are excited by her."

Do you ever play Texas Hold 'Em?

Do you know that feeling when you're holding a full house and you're just praying the guy with the big pile of chips is holding a flush so he'll go all in?

Do you think Obama would welcome Caribou Barbi as his opponent in 2012?

Who Is Our Caesar?

What did Jesus actually mean when he said "Render unto Caesar what is his?"

As one of our esteemed members pointed out. Doesn't that mean pay your taxes? That Caesar, as the government, has a right to a portion of your property in exchange for peace, security and the rule of law?

What Would Roosevelt Do?

What do you think of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Projects Administration? Were they successful in keeping working men employed and their families fed? Did they succeed in ending the Great Depression? Or was our entrance into World War Two what really ended it?

Do you think we should revive the CCC and the WPA?

Do you know what I love about the real die hard born again Christians?

They think if they insult you then you will come round to their way of thinking. A christian and a hate comment just seems so contradictory to me and I wonder, are we supposed to take them seriously ever again?

Can a person who TRULY loves God sin?

There is a question on "The Hot 10" asking the following: "Will a man who loves his wife still cheat on her in a moment of weakness?" I have seen many interesting self-righteous answers, and so I must ask....

Can a person who truly loves God sin?

Update: November 18, 2009.
Many thanks indeed to your encouraging and honest responses. We are all sinners, saved by Grace alone through faith...AMEN! Justme85206...please review the body of my post and you will see my point.

Jesus proposed giving out of the goodness of one's heart, not by force of means of the government.

Jesus proposed giving out of the goodness of one's heart, giving what is excess to the wealthy tothe needy.

HE NEVER ADVOCATED A TAX.

The difference is that the tax is advocating me giving to others at the end of a gun called the IRS. And Jesus let the wealthy determine what was his excess, it wasn't the government saying that because you make more then X you should give the excess to someone else.

What you advocate is communism and socialism, how well has that worked everywhere else it's been tried? Can you tell me one place where it has succeeded?

Let's Play Who Said That!

"If you want to be perfect then sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor."?

Update: November 18, 2009.
It was pointed out to me that Jesus was speaking to a wealthy man. He didn't really intend it towards the working class. Then I thought(stroking beard) hmmmmmm,who else proposed taxing the wealthiest amongst us to pay for health car for the poorest amongst us?

Update: November 18, 2009.
Yup. It was good old Jesus himself. I think it's pretty obvious that if you call yourself Christian you should support universal health care WITH the public option. Even as it costs you some of your possessions. Thanks for playing!
