A new analysis by the Joint Economic Committee and the House Ways & Means Committee minority staff estimates up to 16,500 new IRS personnel will be needed to collect, examine and audit new tax information mandated on families and small businesses in the ‘reconciliation’ bill being taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives this weekend, according to Brady.

But but but, the bill is supposed to reduce the deficit? How is that going to be accomplished if the federal government has to hire and train 16,000 more workers at an outrageous wage?

There was not one story, or part of any story, during their entire broadcast that so much as challenged anything that was passed.

It was praise for the bill and the people who passed it -- followed by stories that defended them and called out critics as being everything from evil to racists.

In short, it was textbook partisan hackery barely disguised as a news broadcast.

Even amid a time when such partisanship by so-called news organizations is anything but rare, this was the kind of thing that makes me hope all the old media dinosaurs die a quick and dirty death, and as soon as possible.

Journalism as it now stands in this country (the Jurassic media) needs to be torn down below the foundation and completely rebuilt.

Otherwise, it has no purpose to exist, anymore, since the folks running it aren't doing the basic job they were hired to do.

Why if this is such a "great piece of legislation does/ did it take:

A) back room threats and bribes?


B)... not take affect for 4 years? If people are that hard up for health care why not start it yesterday?

C) heck it's so important why hasn't B.O. signed it yet?


D) if it reduces the deficit why not implement it NOW?


And what ever happened to the party that told us from the day of the Roe v Wade ruling to "keep your laws off my body"? Why now is it ok for your beloved Gov. to tell me. why,how, when, I can get my care, and what treatments I can have? If gov is paying you dang well better believe they are gonna have a say in how much, and when I get care?

Majority Opposed Doesn't Tell Full Story
A new CNN poll finds that Americans oppose the current health care reform plan passed by Congesss, 59 to 39%.

However, parsing the numbers shows that many of those against the plan actually oppose it because "it is not liberal enough." In fact, 52% of Americans either support the current legislation or think it should be more liberal, while only 43% oppose the plan saying it is "too liberal."
