It’s getting all so dumb. Republicans are now down to criticizing the length of the President’s health care proposal. From John Boehner’s office comes this nonsense…
“The White House’s ‘plan’ consists of an 11-page outline, which has not been scored by the Congressional Budget Office or posted online as legislative text. So they want to reorganize one-sixth of the United States’ economy with a document shorter than a comic book…”
“The best way to get a sense of what Speaker Pelosi’s takeover of health care looks like is to actually look at it. Just shy of 2,000 pages, it runs more than 620 pages longer than the government-run plan Hillary Clinton proposed in 1993.”
[The bill is] “1,990 pages of bureaucracy.”
Of course the White House plan is essentially the Senate health care proposal along with some modifications outlined in the 11 pages they released yesterday. Boehner knows this but why let the truth get in the way of a good soundbite. Can these people be any more transparent?
