The Defining Moment.


Paul Krugman is a Nobel Economic Prize winner and a columnist for the New York Times (Commie, Liberal Smut Rag). I try to catch him whenever he is on TV and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

His latest blog takes on the health care issue and where it currently is at in the legislation process, he says:

The odd thing about this group is that while its members are clearly uncomfortable with the idea of passing health care reform, they’re having a hard time explaining exactly what their problem is. Or to be more precise and less polite, they have been attacking proposed legislation for doing things it doesn’t and for not doing things it does.

Thus, Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut says, “I want to be able to vote for a health bill, but my top concern is the deficit.” That would be a serious objection to the proposals currently on the table if they would, in fact, increase the deficit. But they wouldn’t, at least according to the Congressional Budget Office, which estimates that the House bill, in particular, would actually reduce the deficit by $100 billion over the next decade.
What's the next excuse Joe?
