What's interesting in all of this, is that the plan most liked by the Whitehouse hasn't even been put out for public consumption. All this bickering is about the progressive plan from the House which doesn't stand a chance of moving forward as is.

Just about all the Government plans, Soc. Security, Medicare, Medicaid and nowthe Postal Service are close to bankruptcy.
These Government programs are always seen as an affordable panacea and end up costing billions and now trillions
more then projected.
Doesn't bode well for another Government plan that will prove unaffordable
and put even more burden on my kids and Grandkids.
I agree that the current ridiculous Congressional program doesn't look like it will make it through as is,
fortunately Obama wasn't able to force it through 2 weeks ago like he wanted!
