Time to Override the S-CHIP Veto

If you have listened to the President talk lately, he seems to be emulating old Chicken Little -- for surely the sky must be falling!!!

If we spend that extra $35 Billion then surely we're headed to that dreaded socialized medicine. Surely if we pass this measure than millions of middle class folks -- like me -- will abandon their private insurance and go on the public dole. And as we know, private is better than public. That's why GW and his friends send their kids to nice private schools -- right!!!

But the reality is likely far different from the scary scenario painted for us by our "Dear Leader." The reality is, without an override tomorrow, a whole lot of kids will go uninsured. That in my mind isn't wise. His solution -- tax credits -- is just fine, if you make enough money so tax credits make a difference.

So, Congress please tell President Bush that you will not be bullied by his scare tactics and do the right thing!!!
