Democrats had a chance to try a more moderate approach in 2009, but they went full-bore defiance and stuffed O/Care down our throats. Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid led the offensive that ended up scuttling attempts to scale back O/Care.

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE CIRCA 2009 In one particular case, Sen Mary Landrieu (Dim-La), connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million more federal dollars than had been appropriated.

Obama and Reid no doubt were elated .......here was a way to buy all the necessary Democrat votes

Through an (ahem) error, instead of $200 million, $4.3 BILLION for Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill.

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu came to be attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.

CAN YOU SAY MONEY LAUNDERING? The $4.3 billion to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.

===========================================

Where's the money, Democrats?

Thanks...How sweet it’ll be if Mary Landrieu is booted.
