Thank you for commenting here at Big Government in Your Wallet. You are correct that the Democrat’s likely strategy is to pass this “reform” and make it take effect in 2013 in the hope that it will help Obama gain a second president term.

However, considering the way the American taxpayers have been disregarded and treated with disrespect by those holding office, it’s not likely that they’ll develop a case of amnesia anytime soon. Taxpayers are already being “wiped off the map” by the manic spending spree the Obama administration has been on since he took office, all in the name of stimulating an economic mess that he still blames President Bush for. However, his spending has made the economy worse and economists down predict even worse numbers for unemployment and dire predictions for jobs for next year. We certainly cannot afford to spend another dime. It is not the government’s money they are spending, it is the taxpayer’s money.

So, be it 2010 or 2013, it doesn’t matter. Anyone voting for healthcare WILL be affected negatively. I am willing to bet that Obama has spent his capital and can almost be considered a “lame duck” president at this point.
