The Reality

The reality is that the White House wants to force House Democrats to pass the Senate bill. The supposed “fixes” that will be applied to that bill via reconciliation are being touted as the reason that House Democrats should simply follow the Wizard down into the valley of the Little Bighorn.  Trust us, the Wizard shouts.

Unfortunately, there’s another reality in play.

There will be no reconciliation. There will, however, be a massacre in November.

The Senate will not be able to make any real changes to the Senate bill, if they even try. The little bit of tinkering they can do via budget reconciliation will leave all of the most objectionable parts of the Senate bill firmly intact and already signed into law.

House Democrats will have committed suicide on command for Obama. Because even “safe” Democratic seats will be in play after this horrible bill passes.

Americans do not want this bill by a very, very large margin. They will be in full payback mode in November. Repeal will be a massive weapon for the Republicans to wield and they will do so with glee.

I’m personally convinced that the health care “reform” will utterly cripple our already wounded economy.

And I have no illusions that the Wizard doesn’t know it will politically kill a lot of Democrats in Congress. I don’t think for a moment that he cares one whit about those future former members of Congress.

They should not be so stupid as to think he does, either.

The reality is simple. If the House passes the Senate bill, there will not be any reconciliation. It won’t happen. And Democrats in the House will be all alone to face the voters in November.
