I have scant criticisms of this bill and I'm a little leery of some of the numbers, but I also believe at the end of the day Republicans will regret not getting in on this. It won't be repealed and as we see hiccups along the way, and we will, new legislation will be enacted to improve upon the core bill. |
With this I agree. It's here to stay and Republican obstructionism is, in the end, going to do them more harm than good. They had plenty of time to come up with and sell a viable alternative or even to say "attack costs first and here is the way to do it".
As to the numbers, obviously, I am more than a little leery. Again, I hope I am wrong, I hope this succeeds in delivering on its promises. I just seriously doubt it and, in 10 years, believe will be trying to figure out how to pay for it.
