Three Big Losers Tonight As To Health Care Bill Passage

The first two are Catholic Social Justice and the Pro-life movement. More on that tomorrow.

The third and the one that no one talks about is the States!! I don't think the majority of the American people realize that this is not all just paid for by federal dollars. The States will have to take on more obligations now which mean vital services, higher ed, and yes services to the most at risk will have to be cut.

I can't wait for Network and the other social Justice groups to give us recommendations if meals on wheels or transportation services for the poor should be cut so we can pay for this new "amazing"health care. As we saw with the poor students upset in California any talk of raising their tuition is out of the question. The States unlike the Federal Govt can't just borrow the money from China. So I shall be waiting with anticipation on what vital cuts they are willing to sacrifice up.

More later.
