One reason Tom Smith is one of my favorite bloggers is the way he always pulls his punches:
I expected the House to come up with a really stupid way to finance medical "reform" and they did not disappoint. ... If health care does pass in anything like the House form, it will be really, really bad. In addition to my prospects of a comfortable, pain free old age with all the drugs I need to keep those important parts running being much diminished, it will be a budget buster. The talk of Save Money By Health Care Reform! is utter rubbish that no one believes, cheaper than cheap talk. Indeed, it would be so bad, I just don't believe our Senate, philandering, ignoble squids though they may be, would do something so irresponsible. I expect the House to behave like rabble and they have done so. So my cautious hopes lay with the Senate.
Ditto. Go read the whole thing, for a great smackdown of "our young President."
PS: I really liked this comment someone left on his post:
Nonsense. The best 30-year-old minds in the country are working around the clock on this problem. What could go wrong?
