Merry Christmas?

Earlier this morning the Senate passed their version of Obamacare. The train is rolling along at high speed, horns blowing, and your late-model sedan is stalled on the tracks and your seatbelt is stuck. From the AP article posted earlier this morning and subsequently scrubbed to remove any allusions to their single payer government run health care agenda: "Senate Democrats passed a landmark health care bill in a climactic Christmas Eve vote that could define President Barack Obama's legacy and usher in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the country's history."

Much longer wait times, doctor shortages, procedures, operations and medicines denied by a government cost control board, massive cuts in resources and funding and the destruction of innovation-based medical advancement...
Much higher health insurance premiums, greatly increased tax burdens, a federally enforced purchase mandate punishable by fines and jail time...
Crushing debt as far as the eyes of our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren can see and the slow, devastatingly excruciating death of the concept of the "American Dream"...
Merry Christmas indeed.

Congratulations, Mr. Obama. Your place in history is secure. You will forever be remembered as the man who destroyed America.
