Boneheads Of The Day

A few days ago, I warned Republicans and conservatives alike that we shouldn’t lift our feet off the Democrats necks after the Massachusetts miracle, because liberals just don’t listen.

I told ya so…

CA Democrats Revive Single-Payer Health Care Plan
A key legislative committee in California revived a bill Thursday to create a government-run health care system in the nation’s most populous state, two days after Massachusetts elected a senator who opposes the president’s national health care plan.

The Senate Appropriations Committee released the bill for a vote by the full Senate next week. The legislation had been held over from last year because of the state’s ongoing budget crisis.

Creating a single-payer system would cost California an estimated $210 billion in its first year. That’s roughly double the size of the total state budget, but about what the state and federal government and residents cumulatively spend now on California health care, said Sen. Mark Leno.

Isn’t California around $40 billion in debt? Isn’t California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger constantly seen loitering around Capitol Hill looking for a taxpayer bailout of his fiscally irresponsible, Democrat-led state?

And now they want to do what the nation rejected.

Smart, no. Arrogant, absolutely.
