The absurd version of Let's Make a Deal continues. At least the Dems could have called in Bob Barker to be temporary majority leader so we all could have had some fun. The latest winners of the bonus round are the unions who forced Obama to scale back the proposed 40% surcharge on expense "Cadillac" health plans. Since the unions have quite a few of these plans, they got BO to push off the effective date of the tax to 2018. So now, only the non-union folks who have expensive plan will have to pay the surcharge.
There's been talk of levying the Medicare tax on unearned income for folks in upper income bracket. Apparently, some new economic theory has been discovered that proves that raising taxes is the way to economic recovery. Wow, are these people dumb!
And who in their wildest imagination would ever have thought that a Democratic president would have to go to Massachusetts to help a Democratic candidate try to hold on to Teddy Kennedy's senate seat? Honestly, does it get any bluer? Yet BO is on his way to help Martha Coakley who has proven to be totally uninspiring. If she wins, BO pats himself on the back. If she loses,the Dems treat her like Creigh Deeds, she was a bad candidate. Tuesday should really be fun on cable TV is Brown wins. The Lib media will have fun trying to explain this one.
