So Much For Debate In The House

House Democrats Rebel Against Health Care Taxes

July 17, 2009 – 3:15 pm

I had thought that the tax scheme attached to the House health care plan would, at the very least, survive a vote outside of the House. Sure, it might get killed in the Senate, or in conference, but I figured that Nancy Pelosi would be able to carry her chamber.

They shouldn’t just wait for their opponents to make a god-awful mess of things, holding out hope for the evil of two lessers.
