Checkout Nazi Pelosi’s statement in this article. I’m not surprised by it, just PO’d.

Interesting point. So passing nationalized healthcare will have the double effect of not only shackling us under totalitarian health control but will also bust the Constitution permanently, a desirable objective from a Stalinist/Leninist point of view. For if the Constitution can be read as saying, “The federal government has strictly limited powers except for one power that grants it total power over everything,” then it becomes a meaningless document. Only the states can fight for the proper scope of their own power. The battle of the Tenth Amendment must be won or the American experiment may not recover from its “Progressive” disease.

Correct in my opinion. The States are our second to the last line of defense against the tyrannical federal government. So far they are abdicating their responsibility because we elect spineless politicians.

Ancient Drive, I couldn’t agree with you more.
“..the power of Congress to regulate health care is essentially unlimited ...

I find that statement troublesome and eerie also.

It’s also called Socialism, the rise of our government slowly but surely ‘forcing’ actions and involuntary distributions on the people ... involuntary distribution(s) = theft... the oppression has begun.
