That's IT!?!

Jan 5th, 2011

We've been hearing about it, arguing about it, waiting for it and grappling with it for months. The "it" I refer to is the promise by Republicans that the 112th Congress would make their first order of business a bill to repeal "Obamacare."  Here it is in full. Hold onto your hats...

From Politics USA:
"A BILL
To repeal the job-killing health care law and health carerelated (sic)
provisions in the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act’’.
SEC. 2. REPEAL OF THE JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE LAWAND HEALTH CARE-RELATED PROVISIONS IN
THE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2010.
(a) JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE LAW.—Effective as of the enactment of Public Law 111–148, such Act is re7
pealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
(b) HEALTH CARE-RELATED PROVISIONS IN THE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2010.—Effective as of the enactment of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–152), title I and subtitle B of title II of such Act are repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such title or subtitle, respectively, are restored or revived as if such title and subtitle had not been enacted."

My questions for the 112th Congressional Republican leadership are as follows:

That's it? That's all you could come up with? Are you insane? Or are you just that lazy? It doesn't even look like it was written by adults. It looks like the kind work a stoned high school student would turn in after he had waited to start until the night before it was due. You had roughly 9 months to draft this and you released 2 paragraphs with typos? Did you guys put in the phrase "JOB-KILLING" four times in a sad attempt to increase word count?

Grade = F

  1. It is quite amazing what passes for a bill in Congress. Devoid of content, devoid of facts, devoid of pretty much anything but spin to lather up the masses in anger.
