It might be funny if it wasn't true . .

I'm nearly at a loss for words, folks. After playing a kind of political "Survivor" game up on the hill for years now, trying to fly under the radar by just going along with the group, Congressman Cleaver is now going to stick his neck out and sponsor some MEANINGFUL legislation.

He's been shopping this idea around for a while, but now he's ready to push forward and FIGHT for what's right!

Here's the story (I couldn't summarize this any better):
Finally, A Congressman With a Solution: Stop Complaining So Much

And here's the letter our esteemed Congressman sent to his colleges:

Saturday night Congressman Cleaver joined 218 of his fellow Democrats in voting FOR H.R. 3962: The Affordable Health Care for America Act. This legislation has an interesting title, considering it does NOTHING to actually reduce the cost of health care. What does it do? Let's have a look.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that:

1. Under the bill, the share of legal nonelderly residents with insurance coverage would rise from about 83 percent currently to about 96 percent.
2. The net cost of this bill will be $891 billion by 2010.

That's nearly 900 BILLION DOLLARS to insure 13% of the population! If that isn't stupid enough, the bill mandates that everyone have $15,000 in health insurance or pay a fine to the IRS, or go to jail.

The bottom line here is, this isn't really about health care. Anybody who who says it is is either a fool or a liar.

Which one is Congressman Cleaver?
