This Week on ABC? LOL, George Will fired this off during the last seconds of the round table. Will didn't provide any basis for the accusation, avoided giving any names or specifics, and no one responded. This is the only mention of this topic on the entire program.
"WILL: And, second, haven't we found a way in the last three or four weeks to lower this approval? Now, I understand politics is a transactional business, but some of the transactions in this -- are you at all embarrassed about water suddenly being released to the California valley because of health care?"
This is stupid. Water contract allocations can and do get changed any time between now and June as the water survey develops for the season. Chances are there will be further adjustments made before July.

Where was the tea party movement then?
Obama did what no President has done before him. He did not pass the buck on health reform. He took the big issue and did something about it
If spending 940 Billion dollars in the next ten years helps to balance the budget.... I mean I am not a math major, and although the math is a little fuzzy to me, seems like a great idea, but I have no time for that right now....
I am going to go charge a new BMW on my credit card and convince the lil' lady at home it will balance our budget. It makes sense, just look at the math, by having more expenses without additional revenue you break even or even get on the positive side, don't you? Well, it works for the government, why not us? 2-3=4
Check out the new BMW 6 Series.... Screw it, I do not need to be able to afford it to have it, I just hope the Socialists let me drive it....

You don't understand so let me enlighten you. Both dems and even the vile republicans agree that healthcare costs are rising at such a rate that if we do nothjg we will spend a lot more than 950 billion over the next 10 years. Using your analogy you can spend thousands of dollars every year fixing your car or you can buy a brand new BMW that costs up front but over the long term saves you money because you don't have ever increasing maintenance costs. Healthcare is a broken system and I applaud Obama for doing something to fix it. The republicans were in power but they did a horrible job which is why voters kicked them out. Now dems are actually doing something about this bRuins problems.

It went right over your head. The BMW analogy was satire. But what is scary is that you actually took it seriously.
It's no wonder that foreclosures are at all time high and so many people including the government are broke.
Spending more money when you are broke is not going to balance the budget. Republicans did a bad job with the deficit and got voted out because of it, but spending even more will compound the problem.
The majority of the people are against Obamascare for a very good reason. We simply can't afford it right now. So where will that leave the Democrats in November?

Wayne, I agree with you, the Repuublicans did nothing about health care, perhaps because they had something about terrorism on their mind? However, when the topic was raised by Obama, the Republicans put forth many ideas which truly address the cost of health care; none of these are in the final bill. So the cost of health care will NOT be reduced by Obamacare; it will just be changed. It is sort of a shell game which will change the landscape of health care in the USA for many generations. It gives more control to government which, IMHO, is not a good thing.
