There's no public option like a "robust" public option
But Everyone Loves the Public Option, Don't they?As recently as this morning, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), for one, dismissed recent polls that show public support for the idea, telling NPR, "I think if you asked, do you want a public option but it would force the government to go bankrupt, people would say no.”It just will not die, take a look at the top thread at Memeorandum.
Update: It might be nearly dead
Mike Allen reported on "Morning Joe" that Pelosi took a count on that "robust" public option and didn't have the votes. I will post a video when it becomes available. Politico report at the link.
More from same show - Lawrence O'Donnell public option is a mirage to hide the real problem they have no clue how to pay for this whole fiasco. Also continued focus on public option is to keep left thinking they will get their fantasy right up until the last minute.
LOL! I thought this post was going to be different. I really thought it was Halloween.
ReplyDeleteFooled you. That's what this public option felt like to me, one of those monsters that won't die.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it dying like a vampire in the dawn...but not holding my breath.
