Democrats hope deficit savings brings surplus of votes on health care bill

by Michael C. Bender | March 18th, 2010

U.S. Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, chief deputy whip for House Democrats and responsible for rounding up votes for health care reform, had good news to spread Thursday on Capitol Hill.

The eagerly awaited report by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, detailing how much the final version of the bill would cost and its long term economic impacts, had arrived late the day before.

    Wasserman-Schultz: Haiti is Florida’s 69th county.

    Yeah, Debbie bring everyone over to Florida. Flood the state with more immigrants.

    Wasserman Schultz forgets the high unemployment in Florida, lack of jobs, loss of homes, no one visiting, higher taxes coming from her party.

    But W-Schultz wants to open the doors, flood the state. That’s what you get when you vote for democrats.

    Your money coming from your pockets to take care of others, while you are drowning.

    Time to vote OUT democrats: Klein, Deutch, Aronberg.

    How on earth is $940 billion to insure 30 million people good news? Good grief people. Just cut everybody a check for $1 million and leave us the hell alone!
