When is a choice not a choice? In ObamaCare.

The National Taxpayers Union has done an interesting analysis of the language of the Democrats’ proposed health care “reform” bill, the title of which emphasize “Choices". But the reality is that the bill represents only choices for how government can limit your freedom and take your money.

    Cash for clunkers is done. This was actually a back door bailout of the auto industry. For some reason, our leaders thought it was in the nation's interest to subsidize the purchase of new cars for a few thousand people.

    Does the government keep the "clunker," or does the dealership retain possession of the asset? I bet most of these are serviceable cars that could be re-sold for a couple thousand dollars at auction.

    I wonder how many people traded in a perfectly good car and actually took on debt to buy a new car, even after getting $4500 off the price.

    The de-leveraging of the american middle class is going to be a painful process.

    Sen. Bennet is dropping his show of moderation, letting voters see that he's a hard left radical who believes in Canadianizing American health care.

    Why doesn't he ask doctors, nurses and administrators about their success stories? There are many more health care success stories, but Bennet only wants to hear about the failures?

    Why is he lying about administrative costs. On a per beneficiary basis, Medicare's admin costs are higher than those of private insurers.

    Why is Bennet lying about the so called benefits to small businesses and their worker who will lose their businesses and jobs under ObamaCare?

    Doctors and nurses aren't as dumb as Bennet thinks. They know it will be harder and more costly for them to deal with government bureaucrats than with insurers.

    Bennet should be easy to beat in 2010.

    I agree with most of that but not that Bennet should be easy to beat.

    He's beatable, but look at his fund-raising ability. That's not to be underestimated in terms of importance.
