Pelosi: ObamaCare is the beginning of taking America “in a new direction”

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating: Their candor about O-Care being a starting, not an ending, point for “fixing” American health care is simply astounding. Given public angst about the on cost and effect on quality of care and conservative objections to the bill as an irreversible, transformational lurch towards statism, you would think Obama and Pelosi would be scrupulous about selling the bill — even privately within the caucus lest their comments leak out — as something self-contained and modest in scope. Instead we’ve seen The One winking at House progressives about a public option down the line and now Madam Speaker hinting at god knows what to come. If you want to reach for that brass ring of single-payer eventually, you have to start the socialist carousel turning. So cue the calliope:

Pelosi said passing the bill would allow Dems to undertake a “debate” with Republicans over “what is the balanced role that government should have.”

“We have to take it to the American people, to say, this is the choice that you have,” she said. “This is the vision that they have for your health and well being, and this is the vision that we have.”…

Pelosi also sought to reassure those unhappy with the Senate bill by stressing that future legislation would follow, suggesting that after they passed this legislation Dems might try to do away with the insurance industry’s antitrust exemption, among other unnamed initiatives.

“Kick open that door, and there will be other legislation to follow,” she said. “We’ll take the country in a new direction.”

Obama is to the rebuilding of America as World War II was to the rebuilding of Europe.

Speak for yourself goombah. I’ll take a few with me.... Lock and Load..... ...Molon Labe....

I can understand that sentiment. Who said that these Democrats are entitled to overturn freedom and wreck America? Many of them actually think they are doing the right thing, but the ones at the top are pure evil.

...”in a new direction?” Well, yeah, toward rejection of politics and default.

"Europe lifestyle, here we come. Get ready for everything to be crowded, oversold, and crappy. Expensive tiny cars, expensive to operate and expensive public transportation or a bicycle for traveling around. Your meat will come in tiny packs and costs twice as much and you'll pay for the plastic shopping bags that you have to fill up yourself."

How's that going to happen, when consumer purchases come nearly to a standstill. And there's not enough of a manufacturing base to tax for the trick of printing too much money and inflation to work.

Do some real work (gardening, animals, hobby of producing a necessity) and prepare for the default. It's going to happen.
