Breaking: Hoyer admits Dems don’t have the votes for Pelosi Plan
What does this tell us? Moderates have apparently balked at the pressure Pelosi has put on them to swallow the public option and a $1.8 trillion price tag. Today’s unemployment numbers probably had something to do with that as well. Robert Reich advised Democrats to stop their push on health-care overhauls and start worrying about job losses, or risk becoming an irrelevancy in the midterms (via Instapundit). The moderates in Pelosi’s caucus probably came to that conclusion on Tuesday night.
Those moderates better not show their face in Boulder. 😉
I never thought I’d agree with Robert Reich. Of course worrying about job losses involves giving the PRIVATE SECTOR a vision of their upcoming expenses. That would involve healthcare. Catch 22? Time to stand down on Health Care reform.
