One of the funniest things I've ever seen in my years in politics has to be the GOP's
numberless budget plan they submitted two months ago. It was classic incompetence. A perfect climax to the sort of incompetence that had been leading this nation for 8 years. Today Republicans actually tried to outdo th
emselves by submitting an alternative health care plan, one that is supposed to be the opposition to President Obama's. Except the plan didn't really
include a plan.
House Republicans presented a four-page outline of their health care reform plan Wednesday but said they didn’t know yet how much it would cost, how they would pay for it and how many of the nearly 50 million Americans without insurance would be covered by it.
It was 4 pages. Yes, the Republican health care plan for our nation is 4 pages long. When asked about the cost of the plan and why there wasn't any projections or ummmm, numbers, Rep.
Dave Camp (R-MI) responded that numbers would come later.
He then went on to say the numbers for the GOP plan would come after the Democrats are done scoring their own legislation. When pressed harder for a ballpark estimate of the cost of the plan, Camp responded, "We do have ideas about that" before reiterating the GOP's idea of insuring Americans under the age of 25.
Just like with their numberless budget proposal their planless health care plan is supposed to be accepted as complete fact. No questions asked. I'm sure somewhere in their
planless plan, they promise to cut spending, shrink government and restore honor, dignity and moral values to America. Yeah, I'm guessing President Obama isn't going to have too difficult of a time getting his agenda passed.
