WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON -
With a historic vote looming this weekend, U.S.... Rep. Brian
Baird said Friday
he can't support the Democratic health care reform bill. Rep.Adam Smith, said he hasn't made up
his mind.
Baird said he isn't prepared to vote for a bill until the Congressional Budget
Office estimates its impact on health insurance premiums. He also wants to wait
until Medicare and Medicaid actuaries estimate the impact on those programs for
seniors and the poor.
"I can't in good conscience vote for this without those estimates,"
Baird said.
Smith said he is weighing whether the need to overhaul a "big, bloated,
wasteful system" and provide insurance to millions currently without it
outweighs the bill's $1 trillion price tag and failure to aggressively rein in
rising medical costs.

I used to think Adam Smith was a Thoughtful Dem. Not anymore. What a rat. I will work night and day to see he out - well, I would if I didn't have to work night and day to pay the taxes he caused.

Michael it sounds like you need to hear about the FairTax legislation!! HR25 and S296!!! NO MORE IRS which is who is going to police the healthcare mandates. Sure hope to see A LOT of congress getting PINK SLIPS!!! They need to be included in the 10.2% unemployed with what they are doing to US citizens!

I knew this was going to happen! Same "burying your head in the sand" at the Kent National Guard Armory when suspicious activity by a mulsim enlisted person was reported to the chain of command... chain of command told him not to worry about it. Then the guy went AWOL... hmmmm.

DICK MURI'S STATEMENT ON CIT GROUP FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY
Taxpayers Lose $2.3 BillionCandidate for Congress (WA-9), Dick Muri learned of the CI...T Group bankruptcy yesterday when it was reported. CIT Group was given $2.3 billion in tax payer dollars in December of 2008."Tax payer dollars should not be used to prop up private companies" Dick Muri said, "this is what happens when congressmen like Adam Smith feel they need to do something but don't know what. They simply throw money, that we don't have, at the problem. All they did was delay the inevitable. The company still declared bankruptcy, but now our children and grandchildren have to pay the bill. This gross mismanagement of the peoples' money must stop."###

If a company is going to fail, even the unstoppable force of the oversized Government cannot stop it from failing.

It can however through it's current actions, make it harder to succeed.

Gary, I would agree with you if there was an alternative. Today there is a credit crunch and biggest employer in USA "Small Biz" is running out credit. I would never bail CityBank or AIG. But CIT is a different case. You need to look into these issues case by case.

For those of you who don't know, Dick just got his e-verify legislation passed in the county council on the 6th. I took a moment and posted a blog and video about it this evening on his website. You can also look over at the Newsroom on the website to see the official campaign statement. These common sense reforms are ...the type of legislation Dick will work for in DC. Pass this link on to your friends so they can also learn what Dick will do (and actually does as a Councilmember) for them when they elect him as their next Congressman! ~ Josh Amato http://dickmuri.com/?p=blog&id=15Read More
