Decoding Pelosi’s health care reform bill
The Wall Street Journal tackles the 1990-page wonder, and comes up with this.
Summary:
Mr. Obama rode into office on a wave of “change,” but we doubt most voters realized that the change Democrats had in mind was making health care even more expensive and rigid than the status quo. Critics will say we are exaggerating, but we believe it is no stretch to say that Mrs. Pelosi’s handiwork ranks with the Smoot-Hawley tariff and FDR’s National Industrial Recovery Act as among the worst bills Congress has ever seriously contemplated.
Read it and weep, if you’re not already doing so.
I just made a reading comprehension error.
The Wall Street Journal tackles the 1990-page wonder
It is a good thing that that this bill was not three pages long or I might have gotten really confused. (Hillary Care was in 1993)

Any minute now, the White House will declare that the Wall Street Journal is not a legitimate newspaper and that nobody else should treat it that way.
Mrs. Watsit, I don’t know if you’re being a little facetious, because this may happen (Wall Street Journal is owned by a one Mr. Rupert Murdoch.)
The WSJ is actually owned by NewsCorp, which the esteemed, and, by all accounts, savvy Mr. Murdoch controls.

You may be right, sad to say. 🙁
Mr. Murdoch is nearly 80 I hope he has an ironclad succession plan.
