It was a day that every political junkie would love regarding health care reform. It was also a day that will likely have ramifications for the future of health care reform. The first event was another nuclear bomb handed down by the Congressional Budget Office.

Instead of saving the federal government from fiscal catastrophe, the health reform measures being drafted by congressional Democrats would increase rather than reduce public spending on health care, potentially worsening an already bleak budget outlook, the director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said this morning.

They’re playing with your life and deciding upon your death. Silence is no longer an option or you can relive 1936 Germany; sit around and wait for the Politburo to deny you medical coverage because you’re a conservative, you’re a Jew, you’re a Catholic, you’re an activist. you own guns, you’re pro-life. They will pick and choose anyone but themselves for they will have first class care and you get the scraps.

But the Speaker made it clear that Democrats still plan to tax the rich, and said if the money isn't needed to pay for health care it would be directed at the nation's budget deficit. "There is going to be a revenue change at the high end. It will be directly to reduce the deficit or to reduce the deficit by helping to cover the cost of this initiative

Translation: We'll tax you and spend it on whatever we want regardless of what we said was its intended use.
