I guess you have never tried government cheese...

Back in my younger days, they couldn't give the stuff away to the "poor", so they gave it to us military folk along with "grade B" beef.

If it wasn't obvious enough, the "unattributed assertions" in the last paragraph were opinion.

Re: SCHIP VETO'd

From article: Ms. Pelosi on Tuesday said, “I think it’s really a sad statement about how bankrupt some of these people are in their arguments against S-chip that they would attack a 12-year-old boy.”

I think it's a sad statement that the Democrats needed to put a 12 year old boy in that position. Why didn't the mother or father testify? Because you get more shock value with a child. If you don't get your way the first time, throw out the line "you don't care enough about children". That will make even the toughest politician back away. I don't support this current proposal as it stands, so according to the Democrats and some Republicans I don't care about children. I don't have 6 kids and make 45000 a year to be honest. But I also don't have over 400,000 in assets. I can't understand why the parents can't pay for health coverage.

This is not an attack on the Democrats or the Republicans, just my on this proposed tax and the article in the previous link. Take money from one group to pay for another group doesn't work. It never has. The cigarette tax in Minnesota was supposed to pay for health care and roads, but obviously that isn't happening. I also wonder how many of the people this bill is supposed to help are working for Walmart. They are notorios for not helping their employees with health coverage.
